The dispatcher’s toolkit is evolving — and the smartest carriers are already adapting. While many fleets still rely on manual processes and gut instinct for critical decisions, forward-thinking operations are embracing decision automation to transform how they plan, dispatch, and optimize their networks. ✅ Turn guesswork into data-driven load assignments ✅ Stay agile when disruptions hit your operation ✅ Break down silos for true automated network-wide optimization In a recent white paper, “The Newest Addition to The Dispatcher’s Toolkit,” we explore how Decision Automation is giving carriers a competitive edge in today’s challenging freight environment.

Sometimes the biggest breakthrough comes from asking the right question. Rather than focusing on doing more, D.M. Bowman, Inc. asked the question, “How do we do better?” Instead of adding headcount or expanding manually, they took a step back to examine their entire approach to load planning and network optimization. As VP of Operations Mark S. explained to Forbes: “We needed to be smarter about how we evaluated our network, the business that we’re doing, versus business that may not fit the network.” By implementing Optimal Dynamics’ Decision Automation Platform, D.M. Bowman turned data into a competitive advantage, replacing guesswork with intelligence and manual processes with automated optimization. This is a strategic transformation where they can now accomplish with one person what was previously spread across multiple divisions. Read the article to learn how D.M. Bowman is setting the standard for strategic operations: https://lnkd.in/gSz_EtkT #dmbowman #forbes #ai #artificialintelligence #artificialdecisionintelligence #decisionintelligence #decisionautomation #trucking #transportation #supplychain #logistics #freight #freighttech

In this clip from TPM Today, Optimal Dynamics CEO Daniel Powell breaks down why the common idea of “human-in-the-loop” is flawed — and why true optimization can’t happen until automation comes first. 1. Automate decisions. 2. THEN optimize. 3. Not the other way around. If we’re building tech to support the same old manual decisions, we’re not actually evolving.
