SWARM handles complex processes with many elements, a high number of combinations or permutations, frequent disruptions, or a mix of these characteristics. Yet customers do not need data science, machine learning knowledge, or a degree in math to use the software. By utilizing a range of modern algorithms to solve combinatorial problems, and combining this with machine learning, SWARM can optimize across a specific time period, such as a financial quarter or a growing season, and integrate with other aspects of the supply chain to provide a holistic solution.
SWARM is a containerized application that runs on Microsoft Azure Kubernetes, storing data in Microsoft SQL Server, with the capability for both scale-up and scale-out to support organizations of all sizes.
