01— THE CHAIN, CONNECTED

27 tools. One workspace.
Every decision has a next step.

A location changes the route. A forecast changes the stock. A loading decision changes the dispatch. Optimal brings the tools for these connected decisions into one place.

01

Advanced COG

Centre-of-gravity network design: cluster demand, route on real roads, and place distribution centres.

02

Schedule Optimization

Turn an order list of process steps and shared resources into a feasible, makespan-minimizing schedule with a Gantt view.

03

Schedule Visualization

Paste any Task/Start/Finish/Resource schedule and view it as an interactive Gantt chart — no optimization, just visualization.

04

ABC Analysis

Classify items into A/B/C bands by their cumulative share of total value — the classic 80/20 inventory segmentation.

05

XYZ Analysis

Classify articles by demand variability (coefficient of variation) — X for stable, steady demand, Z for erratic, hard-to-forecast demand.

06

Inventory Optimization

Grid-search reorder policies against a demand series, simulate every candidate, and pick the lowest-cost one that still clears your service-level target — with the full period-by-period trace.

07

Demand Forecasting

Fit trend and seasonality on one SKU's demand history and project it forward, with confidence bounds around each forecasted point.

08

ARIMA Forecasting

Fit an AutoARIMA model to a single sequential time series and project it forward — no trend/seasonality controls, the model order is searched automatically.

09

Distance Calculation

Road distance, straight-line beeline, drive time, and routability for any two points — computed live via OSRM.

10

Distance Matrix

Full origin-destination distance and duration matrix across a list of named locations — computed live via OSRM.

11

Nearest Warehouses

Rank the N closest warehouses per customer within an optional radius — road distance or a fast beeline approximation, with unassigned customers flagged.

12

Location Planning

Pick which candidate warehouses to open and which customers each should serve — a capacitated facility-location heuristic weighing fixed, variable, transport, and penalty costs.

13

Network Design

Location Planning plus the factory-to-warehouse inbound echelon — trucked lanes priced by a degressive distance rate and stepwise utilization discount.

14

Network Design Plus

Network Design plus product-segment eligibility, wildcard transport-cost rules, stepwise warehouse cost functions, and network-level distance/service coverage limits.

15

Last Mile Stop Sequencing

Reorder a route's intermediate stops to minimize total driven distance — first and last stops stay fixed. A nearest-neighbor + 2-opt heuristic, computed per Path Id.

16

Milkrun Optimization

Cost-optimal depot-oriented pickup/delivery routing — decides which vehicles run, which orders they serve, in what sequence, and which orders are cheaper to outsource.

17

Transport Optimizer

Cost-optimal routing for independent pickup-and-delivery shipments — own fleet against outsourcing, vehicle assignment, and paired sequencing with precedence kept.

18

Isochrone Analysis

The area reachable from an origin within a travel-time budget — Road mode hulls real drive-time samples via OSRM, Beeline mode draws a fast avg-speed x time circle.

19

Isochrone Plus

Which administrative areas are reachable from an origin within a travel-time budget — an avg-speed/detour-factor radius test against each area's center point, not a routing call.

20

Area Mapper

Assign customer locations to user-defined geographic areas by point-in-polygon matching, then roll up counts and quantities by area — territory coverage without manual GIS work.

21

Packing 2D

Pack packages into containers by transport relation, first-fit-decreasing across bins — floor-space utilization by relation, by container type, and per container, plus what didn't fit.

22

3D Container Loading

3D bin-packing across trucks/containers — weight, rotation, stackability, and relation-eligibility rules, compared across Guillotine and Layer strategies side by side.

23

Flow Visualization

Turn a flow table into an interactive Sankey diagram — no solver, no assignments, just a fast way to see major routes, consolidation hubs, and bottlenecks in a network.

24

Matrix Creator

Turn historical shipment costs into a defensible weight/distance rate matrix for tendering, with degression controls and a per-shipment deviation check.

25

Warehouse Modeler

Model a warehouse as lines, racks and locations, then calculate travel distance, vertical movement and duration between every location and storage slot.

26

Geocoding

Convert structured addresses or free-text search strings into standardized, confidence-scored coordinates — a batch job with row-level status and CSV export.

27

Shipment Analyzer

Cost, transit-time, consolidation, and CO₂ analysis across your shipment legs — simulated freight cost against a benchmark tariff, plus optional consolidation into shared transports.
