Clarity and Control for Complex Systems Engineering Programs

The SEER® platform helps systems engineering teams model cost, schedule, and risk from concept through integration. With parametric depth and AI-enabled support, SEER improves visibility, accelerates trade-off analysis, and supports decision-making across multi-domain, system-of-systems programs.

How SEER Supports Estimation in Complex Engineering Environments

System-of-systems programs introduce layers of cost, risk, and architectural uncertainty. The SEER® platform helps engineering teams analyze alternatives, structure estimates, and model outcomes across interdependent components and domains.
From sizing individual subsystems to evaluating reuse strategies, SEER delivers parametric clarity and now includes support from SEERai™, enabling natural-language inputs, early trade-off modeling, and faster alignment across teams.

"The secret sauce that has been underutilized." SEER drives cost-centric behaviors across organizations, standing out as a leading-edge solution. The software's ability to create equations allows users to evaluate part/assembly topology and project costs based on specific ground rules and assumptions. The results? Significant hard and soft savings across the board."

"SEER Cost Analysis Platform provides a robust estimating tool for manufacturing. We are in the aerospace industry and the ability to estimate the standard hour content and apply learning curves is very critical. SEER accomplishes this very efficiently. It is the most complete estimating package that i have been exposed to. It was very easy to install and begin estimating quickly. The customer support is the best i have experienced with any software package."

“We have been using SEER MFG, and the 3D platform for composite, sheet metal, wiring harnesses, machining and others since at least 2012. What we like is the coverage of multiple manufacturing processes, the ease to customize, and the excellent service support from Galorath. Since introducing the 3D platform, we have gained a lot of speed, providing a different estimation, and it is even easier to use. We recommend 100% the use of this software for cost estimation.”

“Knowledge bases based on historical NASA, AF, and Commercial Satellite contractors that are easy to use and select from program office technical parameters. It is easy to incorporate into the Automated Cost & Integrating tool to include other program costs and complete what-ifs for almost any scenario. Outstanding to say based on the industry average and have any challenges have to answer why it is more or less than the industry.”
