Profile

Simulations Plus, Inc.SLPInformation Technology

Sells model-informed drug development software and specialist consulting through Software and Services segments. Revenue is concentrated in the Americas, with EMEA and Asia Pacific customers, and the business depends on biopharma R&D spending, regulated drug-development workflows, and competition from scientific software providers, CROs, in-house teams, academia, and open-source tools.

Builds model-informed drug development tools used across discovery, clinical research, trial operations, regulatory work, and commercialization. Software centers on GastroPlus, ADMET Predictor, and MonolixSuite, while Services covers PKPD, PBPK, QSP/QST, and regulatory strategy consulting.

Commercial activity is concentrated in the Americas, with additional EMEA and Asia Pacific customers. The company is headquartered in Research Triangle Park, operates with a remote-work model, and has added clinical-training and QSP capabilities through acquisitions.

Execution depends on scientific credibility, product renewal, expert consulting capacity, and biopharma client spending. Competition includes specialist software vendors, CROs, in-house client teams, academic and government groups, open-source alternatives, and fast-moving AI/ML tools.
