The AIM platform
AIM is a powerful decision-support platform for infrastructure owners and operators. It helps you model, compare and optimise investment strategies across complex asset networks, balancing performance, cost, risk and regulatory priorities.
Built specifically for capital-intensive sectors like water, energy and transport, AIM works at the asset level to enable you to make fully justifiable, risk-informed decisions.
It’s fast, flexible, and highly configurable, giving consulting firms and infrastructure owners the tools to shape strategies that meet both business and regulatory objectives.
“AIM has changed the game for us, providing clarity and confidence in our investment decisions. The ability to see the predicted outcomes of our strategies has been invaluable, allowing us to navigate complex regulatory and operational landscapes with ease.”
Sam McGauley
RIIO-GD2 Mains Renewal Investment Lead, Cadent
What makes AIM the optimum solution for planning infrastructure asset investment?
Infrastructure decisions are too important to be driven by guesswork or generalisations. AIM gives you the speed, detail and clarity to plan with precision.
Asset-level precision
AIM’s bottom-up design enables investment decisions at the level of individual assets. This level of granularity means every intervention is based on actual need and value rather than averages or assumptions. It’s the difference between broad strategy and actionable planning.
Speed and scalability
Powered by Gurobi, AIM runs complex optimisation models at scale, simulating millions of scenarios across vast networks in just minutes. That speed means faster insight, quicker iterations, and better responsiveness to regulatory and operational change.
Integrated risk and value framework
AIM brings risk, value and performance into a single, configurable framework. It links asset failure probabilities to financial, societal and environmental outcomes, giving you a transparent and justifiable basis for every investment decision.
Flexible and adaptable SaaS model
Delivered as a cloud-based platform, AIM supports collaboration, rapid updates and a low-maintenance footprint. It integrates easily with your data environment and evolves with your business; no on-premise installs, no clunky upgrade cycles.
How AIM compares with other asset management tools.
Most asset management tools stop at tracking, reporting, or forecasting maintenance and investment based on fixed asset lives. AIM goes further, optimising investment value, modelling risk, and justifying decisions at the asset level across entire networks.
More scalable
AIM handles networks with millions of assets while maintaining full investment granularity.
Faster optimisation
Our best-in-class solver lets AIM run complex investment scenarios in minutes, rather than days.
More transparent and configurable
You control your risk models, valuation frameworks and decision rules, with no vendor lock-in or hidden logic.
Gurobi. Supporting AIM’s exceptional asset investment planning.
AIM’s unique asset investment planning capability incorporates the world’s most powerful mathematical optimisation engine – Gurobi.
Gurobi is the industry benchmark for solving complex optimisation problems at speed and scale, and its seamless integration into AIM provides users with the same underlying technology trusted by some of the most demanding data-driven organisations in the world.
AIM’s advanced analytics engine simulates millions of potential investment scenarios in minutes, accounting for constraints, risk factors, performance goals and regulatory requirements – all at the level of individual assets. It then leans on the Gurobi engine to select the optimal scenario.
The result is faster insight, more confident decision-making, and the ability to adapt strategies quickly as conditions change.
AIM makes asset management and investment decisions easier, whichever your sector.
For gas network operators and consulting partners, AIM gives you the ability to model complex investment scenarios at the asset level, whether you’re planning mains replacement, leak mitigation, or resilience strategies.
It helps align spending with regulatory expectations and shareholder value, supporting smarter decisions about where and when to invest. With built-in risk and performance modelling, AIM enables transparent, justifiable planning across your entire network.
AIM helps water companies and sector consultants make confident, value-based decisions about when and where to invest, optimising asset performance while staying within regulatory and environmental constraints.
It enables detailed scenario modelling across treatment works, networks and reservoirs, helping you balance long-term cost, risk and service delivery. The result: smarter capital planning that stands up to scrutiny and adapts to change.
AIM supports capital planning across two key areas of transport infrastructure: rail and light transit systems, and highways and road networks. In both, operators and consultants face growing demands to maintain service, reduce risk, and deliver long-term value against a backdrop of ageing assets and regulatory scrutiny.
AIM combines asset-level modelling with powerful scenario analysis to help teams prioritise investment, justify funding, and meet performance targets with confidence.
AIM is used in a range of capital-intensive sectors beyond water, gas and transport, including local authorities, multi-utility infrastructure, and global concession operators.
Wherever long-life assets require careful, justifiable investment, AIM helps consultants and asset owners to model risk, optimise value, and build defensible strategies. Its flexibility and configurability make it a powerful tool for any sector needing to balance performance, cost and compliance.
Unleash the full capabilities of your consulting partners.
AIM is built to support the way infrastructure owners and consulting partners work together.
For asset owners, it provides transparency, control and confidence, giving your teams and advisors a powerful, shared environment in which to explore scenarios and build optimised strategies.
For consultants, it offers a direct, hands-on way to deliver high-value insight, grounded in real data, real constraints, and a fully configurable optimisation model.
AIM enables a delivery model where owners stay in control and consultants bring expertise, while Probit supports both parties with advanced tooling, technical backup and continuous platform evolution.
Direct support for you and your teamfrom Probit.
Although AIM is designed for self-sufficiency, we offer targeted support services to help consulting firms and their infrastructure clients to get the most from the platform, particularly during implementation and for more complex modelling challenges. You can read more about these on our Support Services page.
