About

Kardinal is a route optimization API for developers and logistics teams that need to model real operations, not just sequence stops. It solves complex multi-stop, multi-vehicle routing under real-world constraints: time windows, capacities, multi-depot, multi-temperature fleets, pickup and delivery, skip handling and driver rules. In an open benchmark of 149 constraints, Kardinal expresses 93%, the widest coverage of the eleven engines tested. It re-optimizes live plans without rebuilding from scratch, and returns deterministic, reproducible results. Integrate it through a self-serve API with a developer console, strongly typed SDKs and clear docs. Pricing is public, per optimized stop and among the most competitive on the market, re-optimizations free within 24h, with a free tier to test on your own data, no sales call. Built to be called by AI agents too, via an MCP server and machine-readable documentation. Recognized in the 2026 Gartner Market Guide for Vehicle Routing and Scheduli

About

Plutou is the AI-native operations platform for collection operators: clothing donation bin networks, textile recyclers, charity and thrift collection programs, and textile bank operators. An agentic dispatcher plans the whole week of routes for every truck and driver, then keeps the plan current as the day changes. Locations keeps every bin and site in one place with its full history, so dispatchers decide quickly and next week's routes follow any change. The driver app shows each driver their stops: arrive, take a photo, mark it done. Completions and photos reach dispatch live, so the office sees every route and stop as it happens without calling drivers. Plutou replaces paper route sheets, spreadsheets and re-keying with a single system, so operators cut wasted runs, get to full bins before they overflow, and keep hosts and customers happy.
