The accretive acquisition furthers BigBear.ai’s commercial growth strategy with the addition of industry-leading modeling applications used by hundreds of global customers, including many Fortune 500 companies.

“ProModel’s solutions uncover new insights to improve quality and efficiency in manufacturing, distribution and many other industries, making them a great fit for our commercial strategy,” said BigBear.ai CEO Reggie Brothers.
