Use Cases Mentioning Descartes

energyConstraint-based decision optimization

Mixed-integer vessel routing optimization for global shipping fleet

An optimization system chooses which ships should carry which cargo requests and in what sequence, so the fleet moves more cargo with less waiting and lower fuel spend.

transportationoptimization + real-time decision support

Real-time P&D route optimization and dispatch orchestration at Southwestern Motor Transport

SMT uses HaulSuite RouteMax to plan pickup-and-delivery routes, adjust them with live information, and keep drivers and dispatchers synchronized through a mobile app.

transportationstate monitoring and event-driven decision support

Real-time delivery communication and exception visibility

As trucks make deliveries, the system shares live updates so teams and customers know what is happening without waiting for phone calls.

transportationcombinatorial optimization and decision support

AI-driven LTL pickup and delivery route optimization at Southeastern Freight Lines

Software helps SEFL planners build better truck routes faster, so deliveries meet customer needs while using fewer trucks and fewer miles.
