COMPANY

An applied AI research lab for logistics.

Operators, engineers, and analysts studying where innovation changes what is possible for drivers, for the companies that move the freight, and for the communities it runs through.

01Our thesis

Supply chains run on fragmented data. The hardest problems are not a shortage of trucks, docks, or software, but a shortage of evidence about what actually works. We supply that evidence from inside the operation: we test findings with partner carriers where the work runs, and build the AI systems that act on it.

For drivers

Long-haul freight, home every night.

For carriers

Lower cost per mile, higher utilization, coordinated backhauls.

For communities

Fewer empty miles and fewer trucks on the same roads.

02How we work
01 · STUDY

We run independent research on the operational data operators already hold, and publish what we find. The research stands on its own.

02 · PROVE

We test findings with partner carriers, on their real lane and dispatch data and alongside their planners and dispatchers, to see whether they hold on the ground.

03 · BUILD

Not every improvement needs software. When one does, it becomes a product we stand behind. The research and the working system are the deliverable, never a slide deck.

03Why it matters

Freight is the first area we quantified, because the numbers are large and nobody had put them together. Here is what that work found:

1 in 6
miles run empty (16.7%, 2024)
$27–54B
lost to deadhead each year
$18.7B
lost to driver turnover, modeled

The same pattern holds everywhere we look: idle capacity, avoidable turnover, and demand mispriced against what the operation can actually do. It is as true of a fulfillment center as it is of a lane network, and in both the losses are well known while the evidence on what fixes them is not. We quantify where the leakage is, problem by problem, then test the fix with the operators who live it and build the systems that close it.

04Why operators call us

We have run these networks. Anyone can analyze one from the outside; we have carried the pager for fulfillment and freight operations at national scale, and it shows in what we choose to measure.

Every claim resolves to a dollar

We do not sell vague efficiency. We quantify the liability and the recovery in numbers a CFO or an investment committee can act on, built from benchmarks anyone can audit.

We use data you already own

The answers are sitting in your TMS, ELD, and HR systems. Nothing to install, nothing to rip out, and no year-long integration before the first finding.

We speak your language

Deadhead, HOS, length of haul, lane density. We arrive as peers who have run the operation, not outsiders learning it on your time.

05What the team covers

Four disciplines in one small team, which is why the work moves from analysis to the floor without a handoff gap.

Operations & supply chain

Running large-scale logistics and fulfillment: network and lane design, dock and yard flow, frontline scheduling, and the cost models underneath all three.

Data science & applied AI

Turning operational exhaust from TMS, ELD, WMS, and HR systems into forecasting, optimization, and decision models that hold up against a real operation.

Product & platform engineering

Distributed systems, data pipelines, and analytics products built to enterprise reliability standards, so a finding can become software people depend on.

Commercial & capital strategy

Complex enterprise deals, operational due diligence, and value creation planning, framing every finding in terms an investment committee can act on.

06Our values
Independent

The research stands on its own and we publish it openly. Findings come before any product we might sell.

Evidence-led

We combine logistics expertise with data science to understand the problem before we build anything.

Field-tested

We work from inside the operation, not above it. Our team sits with planners, dispatchers, and floor leads, and every claim is tested against a real operation.

Operators, not theorists

We have run these networks ourselves. You start with a bounded study, not a statement of work, and what you get back is a decision you can act on rather than a deck.

Work with us

Bring us a network, a dataset, or a question. We are looking for regional carriers on 550–600 mile lanes to test coordinated relays with us. Software follows when the evidence earns it.
