Who We Are

We are a research team. Experts with Ph.D. degrees in Mathematics and Engineering, with strong research backgrounds while holding faculty positions at various universities, work as our consultants. We are always searching around the world for experts who can help us with their expertise or provide us with software packages for further development and marketing. Feel free to contact us if you can help.

What We Do

Our software products are the outcome of years of research in Engineering Design and Optimization. We are determined to provide our customers with high-quality, unique, and useful software packages. Our development work never stops. Members of our team are assigned specific tasks and enjoy the freedom of working from their homes at remote locations. This is how our overhead costs are kept to a minimum — and how you get our software packages at affordable prices.

Our History

We started distributing our software packages from Florida in 1995. We moved our distribution point to Georgia in 1999, and in 2020 we relocated to California, where we distribute VIP-PLANOPT today.

Our Product

The first product we released was a general-purpose facility layout optimization software named PLANOPT — now VIP-PLANOPT. It was released with a challenge to researchers in the field: come forward with an algorithm that can beat it. No other software has yet been shown to produce better (lower-cost) layouts.
