Kardinal

Kardinal develops route optimization technology for carriers, shippers, parcel networks and field service companies. Its engine plans vehicle routes under real operational constraints such as time windows, capacities, skills and dangerous goods, and is now offered as a self-serve API with typed SDKs, documentation and an MCP server so developers and AI agents can model problems directly. Beyond routing, the company handles territory sectorization, delivery slot planning and subcontractor pricing, delivered with its own modeling and integration team. Kardinal also publishes Laskar, a free mobile app that lets delivery drivers plan and optimize their own stops. Typical sectors include post and parcel, waste collection and fresh delivery.
