GAINS, an AI-powered supply chain performance optimization company, closed 2025 with its strongest quarter in company history, achieving 146% of Q4 plan and building significant momentum into 2026. Across manufacturing, distribution, and service-intensive supply chains, GAINS customers reduced inventory, improved service levels, strengthened working capital efficiency, and improved the reliability of their operating promises.

Why it matters

GAINS' mission is to drive rapid results and substantial improvements in the performance of its customers' supply chains. 2025 was a record year for GAINS because more customers delivered bigger, measurable outcomes, which showed up in improved service, reduced inventory, and increased reliability of decisions.

The details

Growth in 2025 came from new customers committing to measurable performance improvement, and existing customers expanding their footprint with GAINS due to the impact and proven outcomes from previous GAINS deployments. GAINS continued to invest in an AI foundation that integrates operations research, data science, decision science, and artificial intelligence into unified decision processes, rather than positioning AI as a standalone layer. GAINS' solutions like Lead Time Prediction, Supply Decision Automation, and Demand Prediction generated meaningful first-year outcomes for customers.

  • GAINS closed 2025 with its strongest quarter in company history.
  • Lead Time Prediction, released for general availability early in 2025, grew more than 600% within twelve months.

What they’re saying

“We are only successful because our customers are successful. Our mission is to drive rapid results and substantial improvements in the performance of our customers' supply chains. 2025 was a record year for GAINS because more customers delivered bigger, measurable outcomes. When they improve service, reduce inventory, and increase the reliability of their decisions, that performance shows up in results.”

— Dave Shrager, CEO of GAINS

“When companies anchor on decisions and measurable outcomes, everything changes. AI does not belong in a lab disconnected from operations. It belongs inside the decisions that shape service, inventory, and working capital. We bring together operations research, data science, decision science, and AI into disciplined decision processes that drive performance. That is the intersection where we operate, and that is why customers expand with us.”

— Dave Shrager, CEO of GAINS

“2025 validated our approach. Companies that embedded AI into real planning and design decisions saw tangible improvements in service reliability, inventory productivity, and financial performance. This is not about experimentation. It is about execution.”

— Dave Shrager, CEO of GAINS

What’s next

GAINS remains focused on enabling organizations to design and execute supply chain decisions that are measurable, repeatable, and aligned to business performance as volatility, variability, and complexity persist.

The takeaway

GAINS' approach of embedding operations research, data science, decision science, and AI directly into supply chain decisions, rather than positioning AI as a standalone layer, enabled its customers to achieve tangible improvements in service reliability, inventory productivity, and financial performance in 2025.
