All solutionsCustom models

Got a problem that doesn't fit a template?

Meado Custom Models are custom optimisation models we design, build and ship for your routing, scheduling and allocation problems - tuned to your constraints, and to run in your production environment.

Why a custom model

Off-the-shelf software solves the average problem.

Yours probably isn't average. This is built to fit the operation you run. We design and build a bespoke optimisation model against your real constraints, running on the best commercial solvers in the market.

Meado Custom Models

Built for your operation

A model designed around your constraints, proven on your data, and yours to run.

  • Modelled around your exact constraints
  • Built for the problem you actually have
  • Validated against your own historical data
  • Evolves as your operation changes
Off-the-shelf software

Built for the average operation

A generic template, not actually able to solve your problem.

  • Forces your operation into its template
  • Covers the common case, not your edge cases
  • Configured, not proven
  • Falls behind as your operation changes

You don't have to start from a blank page.

Every model we build starts from a problem shape we have solved before, then gets pulled apart and rebuilt around your constraints. You get a proven starting point that we then fit to your operation.

Starting point 01 of 05

Routing

Which vehicle visits which stop, and in what order, so the fleet covers the work at the lowest cost.

Classic problems
The travelling salesman problem and capacitated vehicle routing.
Constraints we handle
Time windows, driver breaks, multiple depots, multiple trips, pickups and deliveries, and travel times that change during the day.
Where it's used
Delivery fleets, inventory routing, choosing depots and routes together, and warehouse picking paths.
What it's worth

A model built for your business. We design and build a bespoke optimisation model against your real constraints, running on the best commercial solvers in the market.

How it works

From your problem to a model that solves it.

Every model starts from your brief and ships once it's proven on your data.

01

Brief

Tell us the about your routing, scheduling or allocation problem.

02

Model built

We design and build an optimisation model around your real constraints. It runs on a commercial solver that large companies around the world use for the same kind of work.

03

Validated

Tested and verified against your real data

04

Deployed

Shipped to run on your infrastructure or ours, and integrated into the systems you already use.
