The AI-Powered Platform for Cost, Schedule, and Risk Intelligence
For more than 45 years, Galorath has equipped teams to plan with confidence, model with accuracy, and act with speed. The Galorath platform combines trusted SEER® logic, intelligent SEERai™ workflows and expert services to deliver real-world outcomes across complex, mission-critical programs.
From Estimation Pioneers to Platform Innovators
Galorath was founded in 1979 with a clear mission: bring clarity and structure to the complex world of project estimation. What began as a consulting practice evolved into a modeling platform trusted across government and industry for cost, schedule and risk planning.
That foundation remains, but the world has changed. So have we.
Galorath now delivers an AI-powered business operations platform. SEER® continues to serve as the analytical core for complex program modeling. SEERai™, our intelligent orchestration layer, enables real-time workflows, scenario planning, and traceable WBS alignment. Together, they deliver a platform built for fast, defensible decisions across the full project lifecycle.
Across aerospace, defense, IT, and manufacturing, we blend analytical rigor with automation, transparency and scale to help mission-critical programs move with confidence.
Two foundational principles guide our every step:
User-Centric Design: Every feature & function should be intuitive and user-friendly.
Continual Improvement: Each version of our product must surpass its predecessor.
