One system, two missions

Commercial freight teams need efficiency and margin protection. Humanitarian relief teams need speed and adaptability under chaos. Gallatin was built to serve both, because the underlying logistics problem is the same: get the right goods to the right place when conditions resist you.

Commercial Freight

Route optimization built for carriers who run every day

Regional freight carriers, distribution center operators, and third-party logistics teams face a version of the same challenge every morning: plans made overnight degrade the moment trucks leave the yard. Traffic incidents, facility delays, and last-minute customer changes force dispatchers to rebuild routes manually, burning time and adding empty miles.

Gallatin eliminates that daily rebuild. The dispatch engine re-scores your routes continuously against live traffic, facility status, and driver hours data. Your dispatchers spend their time managing the genuine exceptions, not rebuilding plans that slipped.

  • Reduced empty miles through continuous route consolidation
  • Fewer late deliveries when conditions change mid-route
  • Dispatcher focus on exceptions, not routine re-planning
  • Integration with your existing TMS in days, not months

In our early-access pilot program, a regional carrier running the Chicago-Milwaukee corridor reduced empty miles by 19% across a 90-day period after routing through Gallatin.

Crisis logistics requires a different kind of optimization

When a flood closes a road, an aid convoy cannot wait two hours for a dispatcher to manually rebuild routes across three implementing partners. The calculus also shifts: a missed commercial delivery costs money. A missed aid delivery costs more.

Gallatin's crisis escalation mode activates a different objective function. Delivery time windows expand, inventory pools are shared across partner organizations, and P0 routes are locked from automatic changes unless you explicitly authorize them. The engine still optimizes, but it optimizes for coverage and speed, not margin.

  • Crisis mode activation in under 60 seconds
  • Shared inventory visibility across multiple partner organizations
  • Road closure and access restriction feed integration
  • Humanitarian data exchange connectivity (UN OCHA, HDX)

During a 2025 flood response pilot, a relief logistics team coordinated delivery to 12 distribution points across affected areas with a 4-person logistics cell using Gallatin's crisis escalation mode.

The underlying math is the same, the constraints are different

Freight optimization and humanitarian logistics share a mathematical core: a vehicle routing problem with time windows, capacity constraints, and real-time disruption. The difference is which constraints matter most and how you weight competing objectives.

Building one engine that handles both missions means every improvement to the routing algorithm benefits both customer types. Commercial customers fund the infrastructure that makes crisis mode possible. Relief operations stress-test the engine in ways no commercial simulation can replicate.

Commercial Freight Humanitarian Relief
Primary objective Minimize cost and empty miles Maximize coverage and speed
Time window tolerance Narrow Flexible in crisis
Inventory ownership Single organization Shared across partners
Route lock rules Standard priority logic P0 human authorization only
Data sources ERP, TMS, traffic OCHA, HDX, road access feeds

Where Gallatin operates

Regional distribution networks

Mid-size carriers running 20 to 200 vehicles across a multi-state territory. High daily dispatch volume, multiple distribution center handoffs, and customers demanding tighter delivery windows.

Third-party logistics operators

3PL teams managing freight for multiple shipper clients simultaneously, where inventory visibility across accounts and route consolidation opportunities compound daily.

International NGO logistics

Large relief organizations coordinating aid delivery across multiple implementing partners in high-stress environments, where shared inventory visibility and real-time rerouting are operationally critical.
