The Research and Development Center «Applied Logistics» traces its history to 1998, according to the official website. Over more than two decades it has built a practice combining scientific-methodological research, regulatory and standards work, and commercial software development for product lifecycle management (PLM), integrated logistics support (ILS) and after-sales service of high-technology products. The organization describes itself as a recognized leader in the Russian market for the development and implementation of scientific-methodological, regulatory and software-technical solutions in lifecycle management of knowledge-intensive products, their integrated logistics support and after-sales service. It reports having carried out a significant volume of practical work and published a number of scientific works, and states that its clients include more than 300 enterprises producing high-technology products. Its specialists have accumulated experience in information support of the lifecycle of major aerospace and defense programs. These include the Tupolev Tu-204, Ansat, VRT500, SuperJet 100, MC-21, Mil Mi-38, Antonov An-148 and Ka-32A11BC aircraft and helicopters, as well as aircraft engines such as the PS-90 and PD-14. Solutions developed with the participation of the center's specialists are used in Russia, Serbia, Vietnam and other countries. Since 2013, the range of issues related to software development and implementation has been handled by a legal entity, reflecting a separation of the software business within the organization's structure. The company operates as a joint-stock company (АО) and maintains a portfolio of software products, several of which are included in the Unified Register of Russian Software. Its product family includes Technical Guide Builder, Technical Guide Web Server, Logistic Support Analysis Suite, Integrated Logistic Support Suite, PDM STEP Suite, Pragmatica and Mercury. Beyond software, the center is active in standardization. In November 2024, orders of Rosstandart approved 11 national standards, including GOST R 2.525-2024 Unified System for Design Documentation. Electronic product structure. Data format, and GOST R 2.621-2024. The organization also publishes methodological materials, an electronic journal titled «Technologies of PLM and ILS», and organizes conferences and seminars, while offering training through its training center.
