External manufacturing runs on capacity commitments made years ahead: biopharmas reserving it, CDMOs selling it. tulanā helps both sides plan capacity, portfolios, and inventory against thousands of scenarios instead of one forecast, with answers in minutes, not weeks.
Whether you run a sponsor's external network or a CDMO's sites, planning means thousands of interdependent decisions. The complexity grows exponentially, beyond what any human can grasp.
To answer complex questions that are very difficult to solve optimally with traditional planning methods:
Which products should sit with which CDMO to reach optimal service levels and minimize tech transfer risk?
How do I set production targets for the market entry of new drugs?
How do I steady my network against the impact of tariffs?
Complexity grows exponentially with network size and scenarios, making things difficult for humans.
Consider a "simple" planning problem: 5 products, 4 production sites, 120 planning periods, 5 scenarios, and 10 configurations. Even this modest setup creates over 120,000 decisions, each affecting the others.
A human planner, even with spreadsheets and experience, can only evaluate a handful of scenarios. Critical trade-offs are missed. Costs accumulate. Risks go undetected.
tulanā's optimization engine evaluates thousands of scenarios simultaneously, finding optimal decisions across hundreds of thousands of variables and constraints, in minutes, not months.

Our decision intelligence platform addresses the most complex challenges in pharmaceutical supply chain management.
Optimize your entire value chain with proactive resilience.
Plan your entire supply network over 5 to 10 year horizons. From API synthesis through formulation, packaging, and distribution, while accounting for demand uncertainty, new drug launches, regulatory approvals, and capacity investments.
Maximize throughput while maintaining compliance.
Determine optimal production quantities, batch sizes, and scheduling sequences across multiple facilities. Account for setup times, changeover costs, equipment qualifications, and cGMP requirements.
Reduce waste from expiry while ensuring availability.
Optimize safety stock levels, reorder points, and inventory positioning across your network. Balance service level targets against carrying costs while respecting shelf-life constraints and cold chain requirements.
Our platform captures the full complexity of pharmaceutical operations.
Bills of materials, API synthesis, and formulation variants.
Guarantee that your production is optimized end to end.
Manufacturing limits, tariffs, and trade regulations.
Be prepared for sudden shifts in global supply dynamics.
Process validation, equipment qualifications, and audits.
Ensure compliance is built into every decision.
Expiry windows, cold-chain segments, and lead times.
Rest assured that all constraints are modeled together.
We build software that augments human decision-making. Our optimization engine evaluates thousands of scenarios simultaneously, finding optimal decisions across hundreds of thousands of variables and constraints, in minutes, not months.
While advanced algorithms power our platform, it's the human expertise behind them that makes the difference.
Our modeling team brings world-class decision science knowledge. Our product team ensures interfaces match real decision workflows. Our architecture experts build reliable, scalable infrastructure.
The challenges of our era are no reason to despair. Only by embracing uncertainty, adapting to complexity, and building resilience, can organizations create lasting prosperity and protect our shared future.
क्षमा शोभती उस भुजंग को
जिसके पास गरल हो
उसको क्या जो दंतहीन
विषरहित, विनीत, सरल हो।
