# Optym > Optym builds AI-powered optimization and decision intelligence software for freight transportation. Its platforms plan and execute freight movement across full truckload, less-than-truckload (LTL), and rail, helping carriers cut cost per mile, raise asset and driver utilization, and hold service commitments. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Dallas, TX, with 300+ employees worldwide, Optym optimizes 345,000 shipments and routes 56,000+ drivers every day. Every Optym platform runs on the Optym Optimization Engine, one engine that reads constraints, trade-offs, service promises, assets, and live disruptions, then keeps the plan optimal as the network moves. Solutions are organized by mode: Optym Truckload for full truckload fleets, Optym LTL for less-than-truckload carriers, and Optym Rail for railroads, with Prysm handling document extraction across the intake workflow. Within each mode, a solution page may cover several named modules; modules do not have their own pages. Customers include Estes, Saia, Southeastern Freight Lines, Roadrunner, TForce Freight, and Southwestern Motor Transport, half of the top 10 US LTL carriers, and 70% of Class I railroads. ## Platform - [Optimization Engine](https://www.optym.com/optimization-engine): How the shared Optym Optimization Engine works. Live signals from every connected system feed an engine that evaluates millions of candidate plans per solve, simulates changes before committing, keeps ranked recommendations current, resolves exceptions with AI agents, and makes every recommendation traceable. Replans in under 60 seconds after a disruption and optimizes continuously, 24/7. ## Full Truckload - [Optym Truckload](https://www.optym.com/truckload): AI-powered planning and dispatching platform built for full truckload fleets. Connects to the carrier's existing TMS, pulls in loads, drivers, and GPS locations, and optimizes against configurable parameters such as driver preferences, hours of service, and driver pay. Two solutions: Network Intelligence for strategic decisions and Asset Optimization for real-time planning and execution. Results include up to 75% reduction in planners' time, 25% fewer deadhead miles, and 5% higher profitability, backed by a 3x ROI guarantee. - [Network Intelligence](https://www.optym.com/truckload/network-intelligence): Freight pricing and market intelligence for truckload carriers. Analyzes past and forecasted freight flows to guide bid decisions, rate and pricing strategy, lane planning, and market expansion for stronger margins, higher utilization, and fewer empty miles. Modules: Bid Optimization, Market Exploration, Lane Discovery, and Price Optimization. - [Asset Optimization](https://www.optym.com/truckload/asset-optimization): Real-time planning and execution that matches drivers to loads and optimizes every load, driver, and mile to improve fleet utilization. Modules: Load Planning, Load Sourcing, Fuel Optimization, and Load Consolidation. - [Truckload ROI Calculator](https://www.optym.com/truckload/roi-calculator): Interactive tool that puts a number on a fleet's empty miles. Looks up the fleet and estimates what better planning is worth across reduced deadhead, planner time, additional loads captured, and fuel savings, benchmarked on ATRI and live fuel data. ## Less-Than-Truckload - [Optym LTL](https://www.optym.com/ltl): The LTL platform optimizes every aspect of the operation, from designing the network to execution on the day of operation. Five connected solutions: Network Planning, Linehaul Operations, P&D Operations, Dock Operations, and Customer Experience. - [Network Planning](https://www.optym.com/ltl/network-planning): Strategic and tactical network design for LTL carriers. The Linehaul Planning module uses simulation-driven algorithms to evaluate millions of possible load plans, shipment routings, and purchased transportation options and recommend the most cost-effective network. The Driver Planning module turns freight demand into optimized driver and trailer schedules that reduce empty miles, improve utilization, and position the right resources across the network. - [Linehaul Operations](https://www.optym.com/ltl/linehaul-operations): Dynamic linehaul planning, optimization, and execution on the day of operations. Leverages live operational data to continuously optimize load plans, shipment priorities, and dispatch decisions in real time, lowering linehaul cost, reducing service violations, and speeding deviation management. - [P&D Operations](https://www.optym.com/ltl/pd-operations): End-to-end pickup and delivery planning, management, and execution built to win first and last mile. Covers inbound planning, dispatching, a driver mobile app, customer management, and compliance and reporting. Reduces routes and route miles by at least 5%, cuts planning time by 75%, and drives missed appointments toward zero. - [Dock Operations](https://www.optym.com/ltl/dock-operations): Optimization for LTL cross-dock operations. Automates door and dockworker assignments and integrates workflows for supervisors, workers, and jockeys to shorten cross-dock time, reduce handlings and breakages, and keep linehaul departures on time. Modules: Dock Planning, Dock Execution, Live Supervision, and Compliance and Reporting. - [Customer Experience](https://www.optym.com/ltl/customer-experience): Self-service appointment scheduling, live shipment visibility, and delivery tracking for shippers and consignees, powered by the same operational data running the carrier's network. Modules: Appointment Scheduling and Track and Trace. ## Rail - [Optym Rail](https://www.optym.com/rail): The Rail suite optimizes how railroads plan, move, and maintain. Five solutions: Service Design, Network Planning, Locomotive Operations, Track Maintenance Planning, and Mechanical Operations. Built on 25+ years of rail optimization research, serving 70% of Class I railroads, with $500M+ in savings delivered and 25%+ increases in network capacity. - [Service Design](https://www.optym.com/rail/service-design): Designs the train service plan on a digital twin of the railroad. Matches supply to demand, generates executable train schedules, and builds maintenance windows into the plan from day one. Modules: Block Design and Train Design. - [Network Planning](https://www.optym.com/rail/network-planning): A network-wide, conflict-free movement plan refreshed continuously from real-time train positions and network constraints. Optimizes meet-pass decisions across the network so the plan evolves as trains move and conditions change. Modules: Movement Planning and Electronic Train Graph. - [Locomotive Operations](https://www.optym.com/rail/locomotive-operations): Manages locomotives end to end on one platform, putting the right power on the right train to raise utilization, lower fleet operating cost, and keep trains from waiting on power.
