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
