The constraint
Commercial · capacity and routing
Routing and capacity problems are old and well understood, and still solved badly in practice, because the binding constraint is not the algorithm. It is that the data describing where things actually are arrives late, from three systems that disagree with each other. Fixing the inputs generally moves the numbers further than improving the optimiser.

Where it starts
Most work in logistics begins one of two ways.
Discovery
Consultancy & diagnostics
Consultancy. We work with your teams to understand the data you hold, the processes running on top of it and where optimisation is genuinely available, then say plainly what is worth building and what is not.

Engineering & delivery
Building. A senior-led team takes a decision, yours or one that came out of Discovery, through architecture, delivery and release, then stays with the system as load, scope and the business around it grow.
