What Unisoma does

UniSoma is a Brazilian artificial-intelligence and advanced-analytics firm founded in 1984 that designs and operates mathematical optimization, predictive modeling, and machine-learning solutions for large enterprise clients. The company is organized into three business units: Supply Chain Solutions (covering demand forecasting, S&OP, production scheduling, logistics network design, and inventory optimization), Educational Intelligence Solutions (academic planning, scheduling, faculty allocation, and student retention), and UniSoma Labs, an innovation arm that delivers co-created custom data-science, machine-learning, and prototyping engagements using a four-phase methodology (Exploration, Investigation, Construction, Monitoring). Core proprietary technology includes the Prognos collaborative demand forecasting platform (a 100% web-hosted SaaS product with automated model selection, seasonality/trend analysis, collaborative workflow governance, and hierarchical commercial-structure support) and tailored optimization models embedded directly in client operations, such as a real-time continuous-casting optimization running at ArcelorMittal Tubarão and the Optimus Crop Plan agricultural planning system developed for Bayer. UniSoma serves marquee Brazilian enterprise customers across steel (ArcelorMittal, Gerdau), agriculture and agribusiness (Bayer, Syngenta, Tereos, Coamo, LDC, Caramuru, Raízen, Aurora, Eldorado Brasil), pharmaceuticals (Cimed), medical distribution (Viveo), telecommunications (Claro), logistics (Rumo), meat processing (Marfrig), appliances (Midea Carrier), education (Cogna/Kroton), footwear (Grendene), automotive rental (Unidas), consumer goods (Alpargatas), and energy (Energisa). Revenue is generated through a combination of subscription-based Prognos licensing and project-based custom analytics/consulting engagements sold via direct enterprise field sales, with quote-based pricing, multi-year contract cadences, and an ISO/IEC 27001 information-security posture; all leads initiate through the company website's 'Vamos conversar' contact form and there are no third-party distribution channels. The firm is headquartered in Campinas, São Paulo, with 11–50 employees and reports 200+ success cases over its 40-plus-year operating history.
