You’ve got an operational optimization problem. It might be routing, scheduling, allocation, or several other problems in the logistics space. You may be building a model right now, or maybe you’re just starting the research phase. Regardless of how far along you are, the next steps are almost always the same: build a prototype, prove the value, integrate with existing systems, and continually monitor and iterate.
With Nextmv, you don’t need to have a big budget, a dedicated team, or even a specific solver in mind to create a proof of concept (POC), get your optimization project off the ground, and demonstrate compelling business value.
Get to a viable model quickly
Building the first iteration of a model doesn’t have to happen from scratch in a silo. With Nextmv, you can, bring your own work-in-progress (or complete) model, get started with a prebuilt model (and customize it), ensure the model meets your business rules, and create a decision service in a matter of days, not weeks or months.
Use prebuilt models for common use cases
Get started with a prebuilt model for your use case that you can completely customize. Choose from popular modeling tools and solvers such as AMPL, HiGHS, OR-Tools, and Pyomo. See a complete list of our community apps.
Bring and run your own model
Already have a work-in-progress model? Paste your model into one of our templates built for specific languages (e.g., Python) and tech (e.g., OR-Tools). Here’s an example using our Python SDK where you can drop in your model code and instantly take advantage of logging and custom output:
Run your model from the Nextmv UI or via an API
Once your model is on the Nextmv platform, you can run it with the click of a button or a simple API call. You can now use your custom model as an automated decision service.
Choose from a library of modeling tools and solvers
We offer integrations with optimization tech that you know and love. See the ever-growing list of integrations. Explore multiple solvers and use the one that’s best for your use case.
Demonstrate the value of your optimization model
Build advocacy for OR in your organization by showing stakeholders and business teams how the decision model directly impacts the metrics that matter.
Create shareable reports
When it comes time to demonstrate the value of the model, you can share results without worrying about formatting, downloading, and emailing files. It’s easy to communicate how model changes impact KPIs with accessible and interactive visualizations.
Add custom statistics to every run
Do more than show solution value. Easily create custom statistics that allow you to measure changes in KPIs that are specific to your use case (e.g., number of unplanned stops, number of activated vehicles).
Iterate and collaborate on remote infrastructure
When you only make changes locally, it can be challenging to share updates, data, and test results with teammates.
Build a team
Ensure members of your team have the access they need to safely contribute and review.
Easily import and reuse datasets
Upload data sets directly to Nextmv to ensure that your team has access to the same files for running and testing your model.
Perform experiments in a shared space
Test changes to your model in a safe, repeatable way. Understand how adding or changing constraints impacts the performance of your model. Use acceptance tests, scenario tests, and more to measure the impacts to KPIs.
Find the best run with ensembling
Make multiple runs in the cloud instead of slowing down your local machine. Configure run groups that use various model iterations and options (e.g., constraints and solvers), create all of the runs at once, and automatically select the best run based on a rule you’ve defined (e.g., no unplanned stops).
Expand the impact of your decision models
Set yourself up for successful scaling. Now that you’ve proven the value of your first decision model, you can incorporate OR into more areas without re-architecting.
Scale with managed infrastructure
Don’t worry about provisioning more resources as your volume increases (e.g., new geographical regions), as you expand into new use cases, or perform bursts of experiments. Your infrastructure will auto-scale with you.
Build decision pipelines
Create workflows for your models that allow you to scale with confidence and give you insight into each step of your pipeline – from preparing input data to running the model and returning results. This experience is available as an experimental feature today and coming soon to the Nextmv UI.
Get started today
Innovative approaches start small. You don’t have to have a massive problem to solve or a designated team of operations researchers to start making a big impact at your organization. Prototyping with Nextmv is a low investment way to build confidence in your model, experiment, and collaborate. Sign up for a free account and bring your optimization project to life.
