What is Harumi?

Harumi is a platform that combines AI + Operations Research to help companies make complex decisions in an automated way. 

With it, you can:

• model production, logistics, inventory, workforce, and demand problems;

• simulate different scenarios;

• find optimal configurations based on constraints, costs, and objectives;

• generate optimized recommendations in seconds.

The key distinction is that any team, even without specialists in Operations Research, can create and adjust optimization models intuitively with the support of Harumi AI.

What does an optimization consulting firm do?

Optimization consultancies bring a human and specialized perspective to operational problems.
In general, the process involves:

• an initial diagnosis;

• interviews and information gathering;

• manual data analysis;

• structured recommendations;

• supervised implementation;

• periodic reviews depending on scope.

Consulting is ideal when a company needs strategic guidance, organizational restructuring, or in-person support to transform processes.

Direct comparison: Harumi vs Consulting Firms

Project and Implementation speed

• Harumi: adjustments and modeling can be done instantly, with optimizations in minutes.

• Consulting: diagnosis and execution can take weeks or months.

Cost and predictability

• Harumi: lower cost, predictable subscription that scales as you consume the infrastructure to execute optimization models.

• Consulting: variable costs per hour/project, usually really expensive.

Autonomy and internal control

• Harumi: the company controls the models, data, and simulations. It's easy to adjust the models with AI support, increase their complexity, and deploy them without the need of IT experts

• Consulting: high dependence on external providers to sustain the project and update business rules.

Consistency and repeatability

• Harumi: templates of optimization models are available on the platform and used by our AI to accelerate the math modeling process.

• Consulting: each analysis is unique and may depend on the consultant involved to create something from zero.

Transparency

• Harumi: documentation, mathematical model, constraints, and rules remain accessible.

• Consulting: methodology is often less visible to the internal team.

Continuous optimization

• Harumi: allows daily, weekly, or on-demand optimization forever.

• Consulting: generally offers one-off optimization before you transition to run the model inside your own company.

When is Harumi the best choice?

Harumi AI stands out especially when the company:

• needs recurring optimization (production, routing, inventory, etc.);

• wants to reduce dependence on external consultants;

• seeks quick responses to market changes;

• plans to expand operations with consistency and standardization;

• wants to turn optimization into an internal, continuous, strategic process.

For businesses dealing with many variables, constraints, and possible scenarios, the platform delivers much more agility and predictability.

Harumi Consulting Add-ons

In addition to the platform, Harumi also offers optional consulting services at accessible prices. Companies can rely on expert support for onboarding, model validation, and the creation of more advanced or custom models. These add-ons provide strategic guidance when needed—without the high cost or long-term dependency of traditional consulting.

Conclusion

In a market that demands speed, precision, and the ability to adapt continuously, Harumi stands out as the most effective solution for companies that want to go beyond one-off analyses and truly scale their operations.
Consulting firms can support specific initiatives, but Harumi’s strength lies in turning optimization into an internal, continuous, and sustainable capability.

For organizations seeking real cost reduction, operational predictability, and smarter decision-making, Harumi is no longer just an alternative, it’s the natural choice.
