About GAINS

GAINS is on a mission to make supply chains smarter, faster, and self-improving, powered by AI. Our Decision Engineering & Orchestration (DEO) platform does not just support decisions, it drives them by aligning strategy, planning, and execution across every level of the supply chain. We serve inventory-intensive industries where the stakes are high and the complexity is real, helping customers move from reactive, spreadsheet-driven planning to continuously learning, AI-led operations that deliver measurable results fast. At GAINS, we call it Moving Forward Faster, and it is not a tagline, it is how we are redefining what is possible in supply chain decision-making.

On Time Edge and GAINS bring advanced Supply Chain optimization within reach for more manufacturers.

On Time Edge and GAINS bring advanced Supply Chain optimization within reach for more manufacturers. Partnership combines advanced supply chain planning with deep integration and domain expertise, making optimization practical for mid-market manufacturers and more effective at enterprise scale. DENVER and ATLANTA, May 19, 2026 - On Time Edge and GAINSystems have formed a strategic partnership to expand access to advanced supply chain planning and optimization. Manufacturers continue to invest in planning systems, but many struggle to translate those capabilities into consistent operational and financial results. By combining GAINS' decision engineering platform with On Time Edge's deep expertise in supply chain, production planning, and manufacturing systems, the partnership helps organizations turn complex planning strategies into measurable business performance - making these capabilities more accessible to mid-market manufacturers while strengthening outcomes at enterprise scale. GAINS and On Time Edge support manufacturers seeking to improve service, cost, and inventory performance across increasingly complex supply chains. Despite continued investment in supply chain management (SCM), planning platforms, and manufacturing systems, a gap persists between supply chain planning and real-world operations. In practice, this gap shows up as: * Underutilized advanced planning tools * Disconnected supply chain decisions and production realities * Technically integrated but operationally misaligned systems * Limited specialized expertise across planning, scheduling, and execution GAINS provides the planning and optimization layer - modeling scenarios, balancing trade-offs, and generating economically sound decisions across inventory, demand, and replenishment. On Time Edge brings deep expertise in supply chain, production planning, and manufacturing systems, integrating and operationalizing these capabilities across complex manufacturing environments. The result is planning that is integrated, aligned with manufacturing operations, and capable of delivering measurable business outcomes. Both organizations have experience supporting global manufacturers across supply chain planning, production scheduling, and manufacturing systems, including complex multi-site and multi-industry environments. "Manufacturers don't struggle because they lack technology - they struggle because planning, scheduling, and manufacturing systems aren't aligned in a way that reflects how operations actually run day to day," said Brian Vogel, CEO of On Time Edge. "Our focus is bringing the right combination of expertise and integration capability to ensure supply chain decisions are more consistently executed and sustained in the real world." "Advanced planning has become more accessible, but realizing its full value still depends on how effectively those decisions connect to real-world supply chain operations," said Dave Shrager, CEO of GAINSystems. "This partnership helps organizations translate planning decisions into more consistent operational performance." This collaboration helps manufacturing organizations improve service, cost, and inventory performance by better aligning supply chain planning with production execution, including: * Practical access to advanced supply chain optimization for mid-market manufacturers without large internal teams * Closer alignment between supply chain planning decisions and production scheduling constraints * More reliable service performance, including on-time-in-full (OTIF) delivery * Reduced inventory and working capital through better-coordinated planning and execution decisions * Greater consistency between supply chain strategy and day-to-day operational performance About On Time Edge Accelerate digital transformation with On Time Edge for an agile, accurate supply chain and manufacturing operations excellence.
