Kardinal Factory
We build on Kardinal, so your team doesn't have to.
Our team models, deploys and runs optimization with large carriers, shippers and parcel networks.
Before you get in touch
Most teams don’t need us.
Start here
The API, the documentation and the starter kit are built so that one engineer can reach production in a few days.
Talk to us when
- You have no engineering bandwidth
- You have no in-house optimization experience
- Your problem doesn’t fit a standard model
Model, Deploy or Build: work with us the way your problem needs.
Model the problem
When your problem doesn't fit a standard model. We do the modeling (constraints, objectives, data, trade-offs) and hand you a specification your engineers can implement, benchmarked on your own data.
Deploy into your operations
When you want Kardinal live in production, fast. We handle data mapping, API integration and constraint tuning alongside your team, until the first optimization runs inside your product.
Build the application
When you need the system, not just the API. With our own agentic tooling, we design and deliver the full application on top of Kardinal. You own the code.
Proven in production, self-serve or through Factory

Optimization for every kind of operation.
Factory is Kardinal's expert team for complex optimization. One team, three missions: deploying our products in your operations, solving cases that fall outside the standard, and building custom applications for your problem.
Our products cover standard route and territory optimization. Factory steps in when your case falls outside that standard: we run tailored studies and design the optimization that fits your constraints.
Route optimization, territory design and mobile apps for the field, set up for your operational reality. When optimization gets complex, our experts take it on with you.
We study your operation, design the right approach, and deliver the solution your operations need, working alongside your teams.
Yes. We combine our optimization expertise with agentic AI to design and deliver applications built specifically for your problem.
