KBX Logistics and Optimal Dynamics partner revolutionizing freight planning automation

KBX Logistics™, a Koch company and global transportation leader, has partnered with Optimal Dynamics to modernize its dedicated fleet operations. This strategic collaboration marks a significant advancement in KBX’s journey toward digital transformation, dramatically reducing manual processes and positioning the company for greater efficiency and profitability.

"Since the start of KBX Logistics, we’ve sought a solution capable of automating our complex and highly manual dedicated fleet freight planning operations," said Tracy Reiss, Sr. Vice President of Transportation at KBX Logistics. "Optimal Dynamics provides not just advanced automation but also critical capabilities around data quality and assurance, addressing key gaps we identified. Their platform represents the future – system-to-system communication allowing for dynamically assigned optimized freight.”

Optimal Dynamics' powerful automation platform integrates directly with KBX's proprietary Transportation Management System (TMS), seamlessly handling everything from year-out strategic planning to real-time operational decisions. Each day, the engine runs hundreds of simulations evaluating millions of potential decisions to dynamically assign the right loads to the dedicated fleet and efficiently construct driver tours. This process significantly enhances service quality, maximizes fleet utilization, and reduces operational costs.

"KBX Logistics operates one of the industry’s largest dedicated transportation networks, and Optimal Dynamics is uniquely equipped to automate and optimize it at scale," said Daniel Powell, CEO of Optimal Dynamics. "Our solution not only shows KBX how to efficiently run their fleets, but how to strategically model them. With deep expertise in network optimization and decades of direct experience in transportation and logistics, Optimal Dynamics is delivering a smarter, holistic approach to fleet operations."

KBX will also leverage Optimal Dynamics' scenario modeling and analysis capabilities to strategically guide business decisions, from fleet expansions to network strategy and contract negotiations, further strengthening network resilience and adaptability in an evolving market.
