Intelligence on every mile
Dynamic routing for a 5,000-vehicle national fleet.
NATIONAL LOGISTICS COMPANY · 200 CITIES // 22 WEEKS // BOLT GROUP
A $120 million annual fuel budget, 20% of it wasted on suboptimal routing. One in five deliveries missed its window. Routes were planned once daily and didn't adapt to traffic, weather, or closures. Fleet utilization sat at 64%. Every problem was a data problem in disguise.

Four moves, built to compound.
- 01
Real-time data fusion
Streaming platform ingests live traffic, weather, GPS telemetry, and delivery schedules into a single operational picture.
- 02
Optimization engine
Constraint-based model using genetic algorithms and reinforcement learning.
- 03
Dynamic re-routing
Continuous monitoring detects disruptions — accidents, weather, closures — and recalculates affected routes with driver notifications.
- 04
Fleet command center
Real-time tracking, performance metrics, fuel analytics, and predictive ETA across the entire national fleet.
- Principal-ledSenior engineers and architects on the keyboard from week one. No staffing pyramid, no handoffs to juniors mid-engagement.
- Production-firstEvery artefact ships behind a load balancer. We measure success in throughput, latency, and uptime — not slides.
- Outcome-boundScope, milestones, and acceptance criteria locked at kickoff. We commit to the metric that moves your P&L.

What shipped. In production.
"Logistics margin compounds with intelligence. Dynamic routing pays back in the first fuel cycle — and every cycle after."
Three shapes. One delivery standard.
Defined outcome. Fixed price.
We scope, build, and ship a discrete production system end-to-end. Best when the brief is sharp and the deadline is real.
Embedded pod. Monthly cadence.
A senior pod plugs into your team for a multi-quarter horizon. Roadmap evolves; the engineers stay constant.
Senior eyes. Surgical scope.
Architecture review, model audit, or technical due diligence. Days to weeks. Written recommendations, not slideware.
