+The nonlinear solver is restricted to the use of successive linear programming

*The sum of the number of rows (constraints) and columns (variables) is restricted to 5000 for linear and mixed-integer problems, and is restricted to 200 for quadratic and general nonlinear problems. In addition, the number of nonlinear tokens (measure of the complexity for nonlinear expressions) is restricted to 1000 and the number of user functions (black box optimization) is restricted to 1

^The constraint programming solver Kalis is restricted to 50 variables and 50 constraints.

How it works


Build

Data scientists, operations researchers, and business users formulate real world problem(s) as mathematical optimization models – starting with “why” to ensure the models they’re building align with the business outcomes they’re seeking to optimize.

Solve and validate

Using Xpress’ suite of commercial optimization solvers, users quickly solve the model(s) then seamlessly integrate results into a user-friendly web-based UI for validating results, testing edge cases, and developing commercial applications.

Deploy and monitor

Deploy the models into a secure production environment with rich visualizations and workflows to support decision making. Monitor ongoing usage while data scientists and operations research experts move to the next optimization modeling project.

“FICO® Xpress plays a critical role in DoorDash’s central real-time Dasher dispatch system. It solves our large-scale MIP problem optimally in seconds and has been completely reliable since implementation.”

Who we help

check
Operations researchers

FICO® Xpress provides a commercial suite of optimization solvers designed to support advanced modeling and large-scale optimization to meet the needs of today's operations research professionals. 

 

With superior callback functionality, users can embed custom heuristics, enforce lazy constraints, modify branching strategies, monitor node-level performance metrics during branch-and-bound, and many more. The result is further performance and efficiency gains that are necessary to solve the world’s largest, most challenging problems.

Data scientists

FICO® Xpress equips users with APIs into their preferred programming language (e.g., Python, R, Java, etc.) to seamlessly integrate optimization into machine learning pipelines and broader MLOps architectures. Forecasts, predictions, and regression coefficients from machine learning models can be directly embedded within optimization models, enabling true prescriptive analytics on top of predictive insights. Xpress allows data scientists to turn ML-driven insights into optimal decisions with full control and transparency.

 

FICO® Xpress supports robust and stochastic optimization methodologies, allowing data scientists to incorporate the uncertainty from forecasts and predictions into their optimization models. The result is a more robust decision engine capable of providing optimal decisions under a variety of user-defined scenarios. 

check
Business analysts

Through FICO® Xpress Insight, business analysts can configure intuitive user interfaces on top of robust optimization models, allowing stakeholders to explore trade-offs, run what-if scenarios, and visualize optimal decisions on business data in real-time. 

 

FICO® Xpress Insight bridges the gap between advanced optimization algorithms and making business decisions.
