Calculating distance and duration for route optimization problems

There are many ways to think about calculating distance and duration between points or indices. From Euclidean to Haversine to OSRM, RoutingKit, Google Maps, and beyond, we have a look.

Solving a routing problem in 10 lines of code

We're making it easy for every developer to translate business logic into code — no PhD required. Get started with our 10-line routing app.

Do things that scale with decision science

A look at the value decision science delivers when shifting from operations that don’t scale to operations that do.

To Infinity and Beyond - Launching Nextmv Cloud

We're pleased to announce that we're launching Nextmv Cloud and API, making it easier to get started with Nextmv for routing operations.

TSP, PDTSP, CVRP, CVRPTW, oh my! The alphabet soup of route optimization

Our quarantined world is even more on-demand than it used to be. We order groceries, gadgets and green goddess salad, and they all show up at our doors within minutes.

What's new at Nextmv? Solver and data integrations, simulating scenarios, and ML+OR

Join us for a tour of the newest features and get a sneak peek of what’s to come. See how our decision science platform helps teams launch and scale optimization projects faster and with more confidence.

Nextmv ML/OR connectors: A price optimization example with Gurobipy, Gurobi ML, and Gurobipy Pandas

A look at how Nextmv’s ML/OR connectors better optimize the plans generated by decision models through streamlining the incorporation of machine learning outputs such as forecasts. Plus, avocados are involved.

Combining machine learning (ML) and operations research (OR) through horizontal computing

In the on-demand logistics space, ML and OR are colliding more frequently with practitioners generating demand forecasts that feed into shift scheduling models that feed into vehicle routing models. How can we benefit from their combined value more often?

What is switchback testing for decision models?

Switchback testing is a key part of the DecisionOps workflow. Get a quick primer on what it is and when to use it in this 2-minute video.

Exploring sample decision apps with a free Nextmv account

Dive into sample routing and scheduling apps in the Nextmv console that are preloaded with runs and experiments. Interact with live dashboards and explore the full functionality of these decision apps.

Decision diagrams in operations research, optimization, vehicle routing, and beyond

In the beginning there was linear programming. It spawned decades of similarly-shaped solver offshoots. Decision diagrams break with this classic paradigm and offer new opportunities to solve common optimization problems.

Bridging the divide between optimization and production infrastructure

With Nextmv, getting a decision model into production is just like deploying any other software. Build custom models and create a unique endpoint for your model that can easily integrate into your other services.

Tools for benchmarking and testing in the optimization space

Which solver or algorithm performs better for your use case? How does your model perform under stress? See a preview of how the Nextmv platform can streamline benchmarking instances, testing scenarios, and more.

Decision model, meet production

Nextmv is removing the roadblocks for going from optimization problem definition to production environment. This makes optimization easier for operations researchers and more accessible to developers. See what this looks like and watch a demo.

Going from manual to automated decision-making

What does it mean to go from manual to automated decision-making? Why make the switch? We explore this topic and show you how.

Decisions as code: Systems thinking, operations research, and computer science

From vehicle routing problems (VRPs) to scheduling staff and workers, there is a multitude of decisions ripe for automation. In this talk, Carolyn Mooney, CEO of Nextmv, talks about her vision for shifting from traditional decision workflows to decision automation where any developer can work with decisions as code.
