Our take
Market volatility and overburdening are continual problems in the freight industry. Now that the boom in eCommerce has home-deliveries on the rise, costly and inefficient ‘last-mile’ journeys are increasing too. So, Optimal Dynamics has stepped in, looking to revolutionize freight through high-dimensional artificial intelligence.
CORE.ai, Optimal Dynamics' proprietary software-as-service product, helps shippers optimize logistics using flexible, open API protocol to create probabilistic profit-maximizing strategies. This software gives them a material competitive edge in this respect, as it tackles the kind of growing uncertainty and complexity the industry is grappling with.
With record growth, doubled revenue and customers, and a $40M Series C behind it, Optimal Dynamics sure is hitting its stride. This funding sets the company up to expand its platform and grow its team even further, putting Optimal Dynamics in a strong position to shape the future of the logistics industry.
