Custom deployment

A routing system shaped to your operation, running in about 90 days.

The routing core is patented and already in production. What gets built for you is everything around it: your scopes of work, your service levels, your customer commitments, and the judgment your dispatchers already carry in their heads.

What's built, and what's yours

We are not writing a routing engine in 90 days. We are fitting one that already runs.

A bespoke build usually starts at zero, which is why it takes a year. Ours starts at the center of this diagram. The further out you go, the more of it is specific to you. What never changes is our concentration on routes as the core of success. Routes: that's what we'll always do and what we'll always deliver — Intelligently Automated Streaming Logistics driving your business.

    The routing core

    Streaming Logistics — three patents covering live vehicle dispatch, mobile warehousing, and the workflow intelligence on top. It runs today. You are not paying to invent it, and you are not waiting on it.

  • Built for you

    Your scopes of work

    What each contract actually obligates you to do, priced and sequenced the way you already sell it. The routing model gets your work types, not a generic stop.

  • Built for you

    Service levels and customers

    Response windows, penalty clauses, priority accounts, the customer who gets called first no matter what the math says. Your SLAs become constraints the engine optimizes against rather than a spreadsheet someone checks afterward.

  • Built for you

    Your team's judgment

    The outer ring is the hardest and the most valuable. Your dispatchers know which yard is impossible after 4pm and which driver you send to a difficult account. We sit with them, write that down, and encode it. Software that ignores this gets overridden until people stop using it.

Why the timeline holds

Speed comes from the engine, not from cutting corners.

Compressing a normal build is expensive and usually bad. You either strip scope or add engineers, and adding engineers to a late project makes it later. That is the trade every development shop is making when it quotes you an aggressive date.

We are not making that trade. Routing, dispatch, and optimization already exist as product. Ninety days is what it takes to understand your operation and configure the platform to it, which is a different kind of work than writing an optimizer from scratch — and a far more predictable one.

What the core already does:

  • Flow Streaming vehicle dispatch. Routes adjust as the day moves instead of being locked at 6am.
  • Flex Mobile warehouse. Inventory and capacity that travel with the vehicle.
  • Intelligence AI workflows. The layer that reads your operation and acts inside it.

A typical deployment

Four phases. You are running live dispatch before it ends.

Weeks 1–2

Discovery

We map the operation with your people — work types, SLAs, assets, the exceptions nobody documented. This produces the written scope everything else is measured against.

Weeks 3–6

Configuration

The routing model gets built to that scope. Integrations to the systems you already run. Your data cleaned enough to dispatch on.

Weeks 7–10

Parallel run

The system dispatches alongside your current process. You compare both every morning and we tune against real days, not a demo dataset. No cutover risk.

Weeks 11–13

Live

Your dispatchers run on it. We stay in the room through the first full cycle, then move to ongoing support.

Ninety days is our target for a typical deployment and what most operations should plan around. Integration count, data condition, and how many service lines share a fleet all move it.

What moves the number

No two of these look alike, which is why there is no price on this page.

Two companies with the same truck count and the same revenue can need deployments that differ by a factor of three. These are the things we look at on the first call.

Systems we have to talk to

Your TMS, billing, telematics, customer portals. Each integration is real work, and some vendors make it harder than others.

Condition of your data

Address history, asset records, job history. Clean data shortens everything. Messy data is normal and we plan for it.

Service lines on one fleet

A single line of work is straightforward. Four lines competing for the same trucks is a harder optimization and a longer configuration.

How your SLAs are written

Simple response windows are easy. Tiered penalties, customer-specific commitments, and contractual exceptions take longer to encode correctly.

Geography and density

Dense metro work, long rural runs, and multi-market operations each behave differently and get configured differently.

Replace or add

Sitting underneath a platform you intend to keep is a different job than becoming the system your dispatchers open first.

How fast you want to hand over

Some operators want automated dispatch on day one. Others want their people in control for two quarters. Both are fine, and they scope differently.

Who is available

The deployment moves at the speed of access to the people who actually know how the operation runs. This is the most common thing that slips a timeline.

How pricing works

We scope it with you, then quote it.

We would rather tell you the structure and get the number right than publish a figure that is wrong for your operation in either direction. Here is how an engagement is put together.

  1. A scoped discovery phase. Paid, fixed, and credited toward the deployment if you move forward. You end it owning a written scope of work whether you continue with us or not.
  2. A fixed deployment fee. Priced against that scope, with a fixed timeline and a written change-order process so surprises get handled instead of argued about.
  3. An ongoing platform license. The routing intelligence runs every day after go-live. That is where the value sits, and it is priced to the size of the operation it is running.

Bring the first call whatever you have — route history, contracts, a spreadsheet, a complaint. We can usually tell you inside an hour whether this is worth either of our time.

Show us a week of your dispatch.

Thirty minutes, your data, no deck. You will leave knowing what a deployment would involve and roughly what it would cost.
