I always assumed it was due to (a lack of) scale for most companies? 1% improvement in container planning for Maersk is hundreds of millions of dollars per year, so they can have an entire team dedicated to that. Meanwhile at the other end of the scale, 1% improvement of job scheduling at $DAYJOB probably wouldn't even pay for its own ongoing costs, let alone the costs of setting it up.
A 10% productivity gain is a lot for any company, regardless if they are operating a fleet of 50 or 50 000 vehicles.
However, the cost and risk to achieve that productivity gain is typically huge. Many Operations Research projects fail. And when they do, they are very expensive failures. "Managers getting fired" expensive.
With our technology, we're making OR projects easy and quick to put into production.
