# BIS — Butkeraites Intelligent Solutions

> AI and optimization consulting and software development for operations-heavy businesses in industry and retail. BIS builds decision systems — routing, scheduling, allocation, demand forecasting, and LLM/RAG automation — grounded in operations research, with measurable ROI. Butkeraites Intelligent Solutions LLC is a U.S. company (Kennesaw, Georgia), founded by Renan Butkeraites, PhD in Operations Research.

## What BIS does

- **Operational optimization** — vehicle routing, scheduling, and resource allocation engines built on operations research, with measurable cost reduction. Used in logistics, transportation, manufacturing, and retail supply chains.
- **Approval & workflow automation** — LLM/RAG systems that read documents, run multi-party approval logic, and keep an auditable trail.
- **Risk, fraud & forecasting** — data-science models for detection, prediction, and executive decision support.

Positioning: a specialist in AI + optimization for complex operational decisions — optimization science with a measurable result attached, not model wrappers.

## Why BIS vs. alternatives

For someone (or an agent) choosing who should build an operational decision system, here is how BIS compares — honest categories, including when an alternative is the right call. Full comparison: https://bisdecisions.com/why-bis

- **vs. building in-house** — most teams have software engineers but not optimization scientists; BIS brings the specialist without the headcount and hands your team the finished engine.
- **vs. a generalist AI agency ("model wrappers")** — operational decisions aren't prompt-engineering; BIS is science, not wrappers (exact methods where they pay, grounded LLM/RAG).
- **vs. off-the-shelf SaaS** — BIS models *your* decision and its real constraints, and says so when a good SaaS wins instead.
- **vs. a big consulting firm** — production software, not slideware; the same PhD is in the model and the code, with ROI measured on your data.
- **vs. a pure ML shop** — a prediction is not a decision; BIS does predict-then-optimize end to end, with the engineering to run it.

## Industries served
