Following the news of our most recent round of funding, I wanted to share some insights into our plans and what lies ahead regarding capital needs and revenue.
Founded in 2021 by life science industry veterans with over 25 years of experience, PLAIO emerged to address the need for a market leader supporting pharma planning. We set out to build the best planning solution in the world—something intuitive, flexible, and tailored specifically for the pharma industry. Drawing from years of hands-on involvement in pharma supply chains, our founders knew it was the right time to revolutionize the space using modern technology and innovative ideas.
PLAIO integrates Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) with Demand, Supply, Procurement and Shop-floor planning powered by advanced AI. The built in AI Coplanner allows users to efficiently conduct scenario analyses, streamline operations, and boost efficiency, all within a user-friendly interface that minimizes the need for customization.
Our client portfolio has grown by 200% in the last year, including global leaders such as Covis Pharma and Alvotech. Backed by strategic investors such as Iðunn and Frumtak Ventures, we are rapidly expanding our footprint across Europe and the U.S., solidifying our position as a leader in AI-driven pharma solutions.
While many solution providers are scrambling to integrate AI into their legacy products, often adding superficial features, PLAIO has built native AI functionality into its core from the ground up. This isn’t about following trends but delivering real value to our customers.
When we presented our vision at LogiPharma in Europe in 2024, the feedback was clear: our approach to AI is far more advanced than other vendors, and it resonates strongly with both our current customers and potential clients we’ve engaged with.
We are focusing on significant upgrades to PLAIO’s AI Coplanner. While it already automates planning and provides predictive insights, we’re enhancing its scenario analysis and introducing real-time adaptive learning. These improvements will give users even greater control and precision, allowing them to optimize planning and operations more efficiently.
Our vision is clear: AI is a tool to support planners, not replace them. While some fear AI could take over jobs, we aim to empower users with the best possible technology. PLAIO’s AI Coplanner extends the planner’s expertise, enabling them to make more informed decisions without losing control of the process.
So, to summarize our vision:
PLAIO’s mission is to streamline pharma supply chains to ensure patients receive the medicines they need. Our AI-driven tools are designed to help planners stay ahead, giving them the resources to optimize processes while maintaining complete control. With simplicity, ambition, and growth at our core, we are committed to leading the next wave of AI innovation in pharma.
When looking at our expansion plans, the U.S. and Europe remain key markets for us, and both are territories with vast untapped potential. Pharma is a global market, broken down into regions that many have their own specific focus or speciality. We plan to adapt to each territory slowly, configuring the Platform to serve the whole spectrum, from generic drug manufacturing to clinical trials - catering to the various players in each field. Our focus has always been on the mid-market in pharma, companies that range from 30 employees up to 10,000. These companies are very monogamous when it comes to sales and operation processes and have a dire need to upgrade to scale effectively.
Through our outreach program, PLAIO is actively seeking new partnerships in the pharmaceutical industry via conferences, targeted workshops, and personalized customer visits. We are committed to demonstrating the full potential of our platform directly to decision-makers and end-users. After just a few minutes of hands-on experience with PLAIO, users can immediately grasp its power, accuracy, and intuitive design. Our focus is to engage potential partners where they can see firsthand how our AI-driven solutions outperform legacy systems, offering both ease of integration and real, tangible value.
As PLAIO grows, we remain committed to leading the next wave of AI-driven solutions in the pharmaceutical industry. With our solid foundation, innovative AI capabilities, and focus on empowering planners, we’re set to revolutionize pharma planning across key global markets. The journey ahead is exciting, and we’re ready to shape the future of pharma supply chains with cutting-edge technology that delivers real value to our partners and clients.
