Predictive routing engine cuts delivery cost by 22%
A live AI routing and cargo balancing platform deployed across 340 trucks and 12 distribution hubs.

- +22%
- Time to live
- 14 weeks to deployment
- Engagement
- Rent-performance SaaS
The challenge
Meridian was losing margin to fuel volatility, empty backhauls and manual dispatch decisions across a growing fleet.
Our approach
Fourtell absorbed the full build cost of a predictive routing engine trained on 3 years of Meridian's telemetry, integrated to their TMS in 14 weeks, and deployed it as a dedicated SaaS instance under a fixed monthly fee.
The outcome
- 22% improvement in operating margin within two quarters
- 31% reduction in empty backhaul miles
- $4.1M annualized fuel and labor savings
