LLamasoft Reports Significant Revenue and Customer Growth in First Half of 2019
LLamasoft, the leading provider of enterprise supply chain design and decision-making solutions, announces strong growth results, posting more than a 30 percent increase in year-over-year software subscription revenues, bolstered by the addition of 33 new customers in the first half this year.
The company is also announcing continued progress on its goal to positively impact 100 million lives by 2022. Through partnerships with humanitarian organizations, governments and other innovative companies, LLamasoft solutions have been used to design, build and operate optimized supply networks for life-saving medical supplies in multiple countries in Africa. Innovations have included the use of alternative delivery methods including drone delivery that have positively impacted an estimated 3.75 million lives in the first half of 2019 and enhancing traditional medical supply networks and broadening the reach of these health systems.
The company was awarded a Michigan Business Development Program performance-based grant of over half-a-million dollars that complements its private investment of $10.7 million into the expansion of its Ann Arbor, Michigan global headquarters. This investment supports LLamasoft's business growth plans, which includes hiring additional software developers, data scientists, engineers, customer success and sales representatives to accelerate execution on the company's product roadmap and expand support for additional customers. LLamasoft is on target to grow the global employee count by more than 20 percent into 2020.
