AdaptiveBuyer™
AdaptiveBuyer is a powerful software solution designed for Fortune 1000 companies that buy large quantities of commodities, substitutable or blendable items, and/or raw materials. It enables companies to aggregate demand including preferences, constraints, and schedules and optimally allocates purchasing across multiple supply sources. AdaptiveBuyer is based on our pioneering Adaptive Trading Engine™, which uses our state-of-the-art Adaptive Decision Optimization Technologies.
The AdaptiveBuyer Solution
AdaptiveBuyer is a powerful solution, combining the Adaptive Trading Engine and a customized Buyer interface to model your unique business environment. The AdaptiveBuyer interfaces with your enterprise resource planning, supply chain management, e-commerce, and sell-side systems. AdaptiveBuyer provides tools to quickly model any business environment and incorporate enterprise-wide business data from your supply chain and demand side systems. AdaptiveBuyer is customized to fit your individual business environment and vertical industry. AdaptiveBuyer provides a simple graphical interface that uses plain business language. Once the company inputs data, it can then solve for the optimal decision based on the business' primary needs: inventory turns, profit margins, return on assets, price, or any combination of variables. When the engine runs, it incorporates variables from a wide range of enterprise-wide factors and dynamic market conditions to arrive at the optimal trading recommendation.
