The Company Profile
XVI St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, 21st – 23rd June, 2012
• Intelligent Platforms and Solutions is a software engineering
company, established in May 2011, Skolkovo resident and recipient of a $
1 million grant + $ 250 K from a private investor.
• Technological Edge: world-class expertise in multi-agent technology,
which is an innovative solution that enhances the power of computing by
using the “computing as interaction” principle.
• Commercial potential: The multi-agent technology enables the creation
of new software applications for real-time management of resources in
logistics, agile manufacturing, emergency services, communications, etc.
• Products:
Intelligent Resource Management Systems for
– Transport and Logistics
– Agile Manufacturing
– Emergency Services
The Software Development Toolkit (“production line”) that enables
scalability and reduced product delivery time
3. The World Market: New Challenges 2
XVI St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, 21st – 23rd June, 2012
The current size of the world market of Transportation Management
Systems (TMS) is estimated at $ 1.2 billion
The existing TMS are standard batch-based resource planners. They do not
meet the challenges of complexity, real-time management and fast
reaction to events
4. The World Market: New Challenges 3
XVI St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, 21st – 23rd June, 2012
Multi-agent technologies do meet the challenges of complexity and real-time
management, but today they are too expensive, unscalable and long to deliver
The problem of cost-effectiveness delays the multi-agent revolution in IT

Smart Logistics Software Development Kit (SL-SDK)
• Supports the whole life cycle of design, implementation and
deployment of multi-agent applications
• Enables the creation of tested and validated libraries of reusable
components including those developed specifically for logistics-
related applications;
• Implements model-driven engineering of applications, automated
software code generation and support for model and program
code consistency;
• Features increased reliability, fault tolerance and performance of
applications;
• Reduces application development time and costs as well as risks
associated with new developments.

The Russian Market: Tabula Rasa
XVI St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, 21st – 23rd June, 2012
• Of the 1800+ transportation companies in Russia only 10% use
specialized TMS; the majority rely on simple resource accounting
software and create transportation plans manually. 10-15 people work
on scheduling and planning.
• Small transportation companies and individual truck owners constitute
50% of available resources in the Russian industry. Having no
connection to any management system, these trucks are employed in
ad-hoc manner and are unable to react promptly to shifting market
demand.

Who needs our product and why
XVI St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, 21st – 23rd June, 2012
• Large and medium logistics and transportation companies will value
the ITMS for its capacity to solve complex resource planning tasks, react
to unpredictable events and mobilize additional resources in the open
market. These functions are currently either unavailable or require a
workforce of 10-15 people.
• Small transportation companies will benefit from using ITMS in the on-
demand (SaaS) mode due to its ability to integrate them into larger
markets.
• Internet retail trade companies that run express delivery in big cities will
need the system’s capacity of reacting to unpredictable events (orders,
traffic jams, cancellations, etc.) and adaptive planning.
• At the design stage IPS works with three leading companies in logistics
and retail trade that serve as sources of requirement specifications and
test grounds for prototypes

9. Value Proposition 8
XVI St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, 21st – 23rd June, 2012
Mission
To turn the innovative multi-agent technologies into a set of user-friendly,
cost-effective, scalable products.
Goal
To provide companies in transport and logistics with a powerful solution
for planning, optimizing, and pooling together their resources
Key Advantage
World-class competence in agent technologies combined with detailed
knowledge of client companies needs (bottlenecks in the industry)
Two key elements: product and technology
• The product, ITMS is a powerful tool for optimization and saving costs
in transportation and logistics
• The technology, Smart Logistics Software Development Kit, is a
“production line” for making the products price-competitive at the world
market and easy-to-install.
