What is LINDO Systems (by LINDO Systems Inc.)?

Speed and ease-of-use have made the LINDO Systems leading software tools for building and solving optimization models. These linear, nonlinear and integer programming solvers have been used by thousands of companies worldwide to maximize profit and minimize cost on decisions involving production planning, transportation, finance, portfolio allocation, capital budgeting, blending, scheduling, inventory, resource allocation and more.

Optimization helps you find the answer that yields the BEST result - the one that attains the highest profit, output, or happiness, or the one that achieves the lowest cost, waste, or discomfort. Often these problems involve making the most efficient use of your resources, including money, time, machinery, staff, inventory, and more. Optimization problems are often classified as linear or nonlinear, depending on whether the relationships in the problem are linear with respect to the variables.

LINDO Systems have developed three systems to solve linear programming models:

  • LINDO API creates optimization applications. It allows you to plug the power of the LINDO solver right into customized applications that you have written. More ...
  • LINGO is a comprehensive tool designed to help you build and solve linear, optimization models quickly, easily, and efficiently. More ...
  • What's Best! lets you build linear, nonlinear, and integer models in Excel. Models are easy to build and understand using standard spreadsheet equations. More ...
