Our take
Market volatility and overburdening are continual problems in the freight industry. Now that the boom in e-commerce has home-deliveries on the rise, costly and inefficient ‘last-mile’ journeys are increasing too. Optimal Dynamics is 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.
Optimal Dynamics' plans going forward include continual development into their software, such as through an integration partnership with McLeod software that will help expedite deployment periods and its 2023 Bid solution for truckload carriers. It is also doubling its workforce to keep up with the rapid growth the company is experiencing.
