What Galorath does

Galorath Incorporated, founded in 1979 and headquartered in Long Beach, California, is an employee-owned (ESOP) software company that builds the SEER platform, a parametric cost, schedule, and risk estimation engine spanning software, hardware, manufacturing, IT, and space domains. The platform operates as an estimation system of record situated between PLM (design intent) and ERP (execution actuals), serving 140+ global leaders across aerospace & defense, government, manufacturing, automotive, energy, life sciences, and financial services. Named customers include NASA, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Bell Helicopters, Boeing, General Dynamics, Booz Allen Hamilton, BHP, the U.S. Army and Navy, IRS, and SSA, with the F-35 and AIM-9X programs as referenced engagements.

The company offers SEER as a modular platform with domain-specific extensions (SEER-SEM, SEER-MFG, SEER-H, SEER-IT, SEER-3D, SEER for Space), and in October 2025 launched SEERai, the first estimation-centric agentic AI platform. SEERai is built on proprietary Instant RAG technology for secure, traceable retrieval, uses a multi-agent architecture coordinated through a Conversational Agent Architecture, and converts natural-language inputs into structured WBS and BOM elements. Supporting the platform is CostDB, a proprietary data asset containing thousands of validated data points from hundreds of thousands of historical projects, plus an Estimation-Centric AI (ECAI) framework emphasizing tenant isolation, encryption, and audit chains for federal defense deployments.

Galorath generates revenue through annual and multi-year subscriptions for SEER modules and SEERai, supplemented by four professional services lines: ProServices (implementation and training), AI Solutions Services (SEERai deployment, agent workflow integration, governance), Consulting Services (should-cost, price-to-win, estimation maturity), and Public Sector Services (GAO-aligned lifecycle cost estimates, PPBE support, DCAA/DCMA audit readiness). Pricing is quote-based with no public disclosure. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise field sales targeting government, defense, aerospace, and manufacturing organizations, with a consultation-driven buying motion and website-based consultation booking. The company holds an ISO 9001:2015 quality certification and, as of February 2026, CMMC Level 2 cybersecurity certification positioning it for sensitive Department of War and federal civilian work.

Core offering

Galorath develops and sells the SEER parametric cost, schedule, and risk estimation platform and the SEERai agentic AI orchestration layer, deployed across aerospace, defense, manufacturing, IT, space, and government programs. The platform sits between PLM and ERP systems, turning incomplete inputs (narratives, documents, requirements) into traceable, auditable cost and schedule baselines, and is sold via annual/multi-year subscriptions complemented by professional services for deployment, training, and consulting.

Product overview

Galorath delivers an AI-powered business operations platform for cost, schedule, and risk intelligence. The portfolio centers on two core products: SEER (the foundational parametric estimation engine trusted for 45+ years) and SEERai (the intelligent agentic AI orchestration layer launched in October 2025). SEER is offered as a modular platform with specialized domain-specific modules including SEER for Hardware, SEER for Software, SEER for Manufacturing, SEER for IT, and SEER for Space. SEERai integrates with and accelerates SEER workflows across all domains, enabling natural language-driven estimation, agent-powered workflows, and Instant RAG-based knowledge retrieval. The platform is complemented by professional services (ProServices, AI Solutions Services, Consulting Services, and Public Sector Services) that support implementation, training, and domain-specific advisory. The Estimation Intelligence approach combines SEER modeling discipline with SEERai AI support for governed, traceable commitments in high-accountability industries.
