Mathematical optimization, built on experience and shaped by your challenges.
We develop mathematical optimization software and help organizations put it to work. Our tools connect model development, solver access, and deployment, supporting the path from a mathematical formulation to an application people can use.
We want to make mathematical optimization easier to build, maintain, and use.
We care about algebraic modeling and the people who rely on it. Our work combines software development with practical experience in customer optimization projects.
Long-term compatibility with customer model code is central to how we develop our software, helping protect the work invested in optimization models.
We extend our tools as modeling, solver technology, and deployment needs evolve, keeping maintainability in focus.
We help customers through technical support, training, and consulting, connecting software capabilities with the needs of their applications.
An optimization ecosystem, backed by people who understand the models behind it.
With offices in the United States and Germany, we serve businesses, universities, research institutions, and governments. GAMS is used in areas including energy, agriculture, manufacturing, and economic modeling.
Express optimization problems with the GAMS Language or work directly in Python with GAMSPy.
Explore the GAMS ecosystemAccess a broad range of solvers and use GAMS Engine for centralized execution and GAMS MIRO for interactive decision applications.
See customer applicationsDraw on our experience to develop, improve, and deploy optimization workflows that fit your organization.
