A AIMMS Case Study
Linksbridge, a Seattle-based social-purpose consulting firm, develops tools that help organizations turn complex data into actionable strategies. Its clients—donor agencies and international organizations—needed a systematic, transparent, and standardized method to evaluate multilateral procurement and secure affordable, reliable health commodities for developing-country markets; prior efforts were ad hoc and often failed to optimize price or supply security.
Using the AIMMS Prescriptive Analytics platform, Linksbridge built a decision-support app that centralizes evaluation and optimization of supplier volumes, product variability, risk and historic commitments, with configurable constraints to anticipate market shifts and prevent shortages. Delivered within months, the app helps agencies allocate procurement to minimize cost, maximize supply security and transparency, and simplify a complex process into an easy-to-use online framework.
