When planning routes for vehicles, it’s reasonable to think you want to incorporate map or traffic data. But it’s not always needed and is often an investment if you decide to pursue it. We look at how to decide.

How do logistics and automation intertwine? What are common misconceptions about decision automation? How do efficiency and sustainability power the circular economy? We asked startup founders these questions and more.

Our first major version has landed – merging tools for building, testing, deploying, and managing decision models into one platform. Ship more models, rapidly iterate and improve, and make greater operational impacts with Nextmv.

We explore continuous improvement for a Google OR-Tools decision model using testing techniques at each stage of the development lifecycle and GitHub.

It’s time to understand the behavioral impacts of a new decision model under real-world conditions compared to a production model. Switchback testing enables this, helping build confidence in a new model’s rollout in a safe and measured way.
