Testimonials
The optimization engine helps me every day to dispatch our customer orders. On top of saving me a lot of time that I can dedicate to other high-value-added tasks, it is really exciting to discover each day how the routes can be optimized and to contribute to bringing sustainable solutions for construction site soils.
Optiretail designs an optimal Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) supply chain, minimizing the total project cost from sourcing to delivery. This powerful digital solution based on LocalSolver allows ENGIE to reduce the cost of LNG distribution by up to 15% and foster the development of new uses for LNG.
I have worked with LocalSolver to solve several large-scale optimization projects in highly dynamic environments. LocalSolver has proven instrumental in finding high-quality solutions within minutes to satisfy the needs for dynamic re-planning. I have found that the unique expressiveness of LocalSolver’s modeling API and the highly knowledgeable support team make LocalSolver my go-to choice for complex optimization problems.
To carry out our project of solving a Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP), we were looking for a powerful optimization solver. We came across LocalSolver, which could handle large-scale problems and find high-quality solutions. It is our pleasure to work with the team of LocalSolver optimization experts on the project.
The innovating features of LocalSolver and its unique modeling formalism have allowed us to solve numerous problems on which we could not find satisfying solutions with MIP solvers. LocalSolver’s performance greatly surpasses our expectations on the TSP, matching, and facility location problems we’re working on. In one year, we have optimized €160 million with an average gain of 12%. The reactive and precise support given by Nikolas has dramatically helped us move forward quickly on our projects.
This journey started more than two years ago. Because of the excellent support provided by the LocalSolver team, PosAm has managed to win the project in a very competitive international tender where many of the big names of supply chain optimization participated. Thank you again for all the effort that makes LocalSolver such a technically brilliant product and for the excellent level of support.
LAC (Logistics & Automation Consulting) has found more than an ally in its partner LocalSolver, the world’s best-performing optimization engine for solving complex problems. LAC took full advantage of the capabilities of LocalSolver, to develop custom solutions tailored around the customer’s problem, offering real bespoke software delivering high-performance results. Finally, InTime was born from this partnership, LAC software for the optimized planning of truckloads and deliveries, generating savings of up to 20% of the direct costs of the activity for its users.
