Differentiators

SolveIT Software features a strong set of competitive differentiators that make us the right choice for your needs:

Leading-edge optimisation science

The staff and scientific advisors of SolveIT Software have collectively authored thousands of research publications in the areas of advanced optimisation and predictive modelling, and are among the world's most recognised thought leaders in their fields. As a result, SolveIT Software's applications for supply & demand optimisation are based on the latest scientific advances in optimisation science. SolveIT Software does not use linear programming methods or 3rd party solving engines (such as CPLEX, iLog tools, etc.) because they are inappropriate for high-speed optimisation of non-linear, dynamic supply chain models/environments. Our applications are powered by SolveIT Software's proprietary optimisation platform that incorporates the latest advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Optimisation Science. By working with SolveIT Software, you are working with a world-leading innovator in the area of optimisation and complexity science.

Experience and expertise

When it comes to deploying software systems on time and on budget, you'll be in good hands with SolveIT Software. Our staff has decades of experience working with global companies and government agencies, and has led numerous large-scale projects for optimizing supply and demand activities for organisations such as BHP Billiton, General Motors, Pernod Ricard Pacific, Bank of America, Amcor, Rio Tinto, Viterra, Foster's Group, CBH Group, Incitec Pivot, Nufarm, BMA Coal, Ford Motor Company, Rio Tinto, ABB Grain, Visy Industries, Wells Fargo, and the U.S. Department of Defense.

Reduced risk

To minimise risk for your organisation and allow you to realise a return on investment as quickly as possible, we implement our software products through staged and scalable deployments, rather than larger-scale and higher-risk "big bang" implementations. The majority of our software projects are quoted as fixed-price and fixed-time deployments, with us picking up any overrun costs. SolveIT Software is one of the few IT vendors that contractually obligates itself to delivering what we promise.

Measurable results

Our mission is to help you realise measurable improvements in operational efficiency in areas such as production and logistics costs, planning time, customer service levels, and work-in-process and finished goods inventory. To that end, we will work with you to provide ongoing validation of our software.

No compromise "exact fit" deployment

Most supply chain planning & scheduling systems are unable to handle many customer-specific needs, such as fixed and variable constraints, negative stock values, calendarised constraints, non-linear relationships, complex business rules, and time-changing data relationships (among others). We understand that the only business important to you is your business, so our approach is to make the software package fit your organisation by tailoring each deployment to your unique business requirements, rules and constraints through a "customer specific layer" that will sit on top of our standard (COTS) application.

Self-learning and self-validating

Through the application of Adaptive Business Intelligence® principles, our software solutions and predictive models have the unparalleled capacity to learn and "self-validate" by comparing predicted values against actual outcomes. This is essential for supply chain environments that exhibit considerable process and event variability, where "peak optimised" plans and schedules are often unrealistic and unattainable (due to variances in quality, run rates, task times, etc.). By feeding back the actual supply chain results (either through source systems, like Schneider Electric's AMPLA system or through manual inputs), our applications are able to update their "logic" automatic to keep in sync with supply chain realities.

Compatibility and connectivity:

Our software products are compatible and easily interface/integrate with almost any computing environment, including major ERP systems such as SAP and Oracle. As a result, you won't have to replace or upgrade your legacy systems or MRP/ERP/BI/CRM applications when implementing our software products.
