Optimal Dynamics

Optimal Dynamics is an AI-powered software solution that aims to revolutionize decision-making in the trucking industry. According to the vendor, this innovative product combines artificial intelligence with transportation management systems (TMS) to optimize load planning, driver assignment, and other operational decisions. Optimal Dynamics is designed to cater to trucking companies of all sizes, from small enterprises to large corporations, and is utilized by professionals in trucking and logistics, freight carriers, dispatchers, load planners, operations managers, and supply chain professionals.

Key Features

Load Planning: Optimal Dynamics' AI platform enables load planners to optimize their freight network by simulating the impact of changes to operations and performance in a high-fidelity, digital twin sandbox environment. Load planners can use the platform to analyze and optimize their fleet and assets while maintaining network balance.

Dynamic Load Acceptance: The vendor claims that Optimal Dynamics' AI platform provides dynamic load acceptance capabilities, allowing carriers to make real-time load and dispatch decisions based on data-driven insights. The system aims to reduce errors and eliminate decisions based on intuition by providing load planners with real-time load options that best suit their business.

Bidding Evaluation: According to the vendor, Optimal Dynamics' AI platform allows analysts to evaluate different combinations of customer bids and identify the most favorable plan. Analysts can gain insights into the downstream impact of each bidding decision, enabling them to make informed choices that optimize revenue and profitability.

Driver-Load Matching: Optimal Dynamics' AI platform helps dispatchers save time and make confident decisions by matching drivers with loads in real-time. Dispatchers can rely on the system to assign drivers to loads optimally, ensuring efficient resource utilization and maximizing operational efficiency.

Planning Visibility: According to the vendor, Optimal Dynamics' AI platform provides load planners and executives with enhanced visibility for future planning. The platform offers three times the planning visibility compared to standard load matching systems, enabling better long-term strategic decision-making.

AI Integration with TMS: The vendor states that Optimal Dynamics integrates AI with transportation management systems (TMS) to enhance decision-making capabilities. The AI engine utilizes TMS data to run simulations and provide concrete answers for load acceptance and driver assignment decisions.

Real-time Data Exchange: Optimal Dynamics facilitates real-time data exchange, enabling trucking companies to utilize their data with advanced technology. The automatic exchange of data reduces manual errors, saves time, and decreases operational costs.

Certified Integrations with TMS: Optimal Dynamics offers certified integrations with popular transportation management systems (TMS) such as McLeod and TMW (Trimble), according to the vendor. These integrations expedite deployment and simplify change management when adding AI functionality to existing tech stacks.
