Optimal is the world's first platform for the full spectrum of common decision-making needs. Optimal Applications find the single best decision — across procurement, scheduling, routing, pricing and more — with AI-Enabled Decision Optimization.
Every important decision deserves an optimal answer.
Artificial intelligence and decision optimization have joined forces in Optimal, the world's first platform for the full spectrum of common decision-making needs. Optimal Decision Optimization delivers savings, fast and easy.
Selectable AI models do tasks and solve problems.
Powerful mathematics generate optimized, executable solutions.
Rich-featured interface with database enables easy operation.
Utilities provide direct connectivity to data sources and IT systems.
Optimal transfers relevant data from existing sources directly into its database, performs the AI processing or optimization, then outputs solutions as directed — finding the best answer to most any question in business, government, or personal use.
Talk to us about Optimal Decision OptimizationOptimal uses AI where it helps — and corrects it with mathematical optimization so the answer is proven, not guessed.
Optimization is about goals (usually min cost or max profit), variables (what can change), and constraints (the rules). We map yours.
A tailored optimization engine — augmented by AI where it helps, corrected by math where it matters — searches every valid choice and returns the single best.
Savings — or profit improvement — show up on the P&L. Answers your team already understand are stored in the interface.
If it can be measured, it can be optimized. These common decisions are where Optimal customers see savings first.
Buy at minimum cost the right things at the right quantities, prices, and times.
Every shift, machine, and person — assigned optimally.
Lowest-cost delivery across fleets, lanes, and modes.
The mix that maximizes margin, not just revenue.
Stock at ideal inventory levels, by location, applying complex BOMs rules including disassembly and reassembly steps.
Where to source, produce, warehouse, and ship from.
Manages AI Prompts for many decision-making needs — including search management, logic-based selection, workflow operations, and more.
Generates optimal answers using both artificial intelligence and optimization mathematics. Specific tables hold your problem data alongside comprehensive mathematical models; solutions are stored in tables for convenient transfer to other IT systems.
The easiest way to learn about Optimal Decision Optimization. Search Manager uses artificial intelligence to simplify routine, repetitive, and ad hoc AI searches — typically job-related news about companies, products, and people. Prompts are stored as records in data tables and executed with your selected AI program and grounding sources. Results are kept with the publication, article title, date, summary, classification, and link.

Optimal mathematics optimize larger and more complex problems than possible with other means.
The Optimal interface facilitates data management and integration with other IT systems.
Optimal Applications work as standalone applications, integrated with other IT systems, or embedded technology in third-party software.
These results and quotes reflect typical experiences with Optimal Applications. Figures are aggregate — no specific customer is named.
Millions in savings across multiple plants and hundreds of SKUs — annual subscription cost paid back in a few days.
“Our planners were able to use Optimal to identify purchases and inventory utilization that would otherwise never have been tried.”
Increased load utilization of over 100 trucks to nearly 100%.
“Optimized in minutes routes from multiple source locations to multiple destination locations that previously were unsatisfactory after days of work.”
Maximized yield with an enterprise model of purchases against over 1,000 SKUs sold.
“Stopped were arguments based on gut feel; optimization settles it. Plus, unfilled orders fell by two-thirds.”
“We couldn't believe the savings, but in all reviews the optimizations were confirmed as correct.”
“We had a recipe for a simple food product using cheap ingredients, but I agreed to the Savings Analysis. The BOM savings were a multiple of that targeted, while meeting the same label and quality!”
“The program is easy to use. Import utilities enabled rapid database construction. Optimization savings followed.”
“The API and spreadsheet data-exchange utilities enabled leveraging data in other IT systems and returning optimized solutions to those systems for execution.”
Move the slider, pick a decision area, and see a defensible estimate — based on savings rates Optimal customers actually achieve. No email required.
Most business decisions are based on guessing. Even spreadsheets are a form of what-if guessing. With Optimal, you do the thinking and Optimal does the math.
The Savings Challenge: put your toughest decision in front of Optimal and see what a proven-optimal answer is worth.
