GoodShip is the first all-in-one platform for freight orchestration and procurement. Our innovative software helps shippers optimize their freight spend and service outcomes, while enhancing collaboration among internal teams and carrier partners. Our platform brings together disparate data sources (e.g., tender data, real-time location, contract awards, market benchmarks) to offer shippers a comprehensive view of their transportation network. With our advanced recommendation engine, users can identify the highest impact opportunities to save money, improve on-time service, and reduce reliance on the spot market. More than just analytics, GoodShip provides actionable insights directly within the platform. Transportation teams can easily take corrective actions, such as renegotiating contract rates, initiating performance alerts, or running off-cycle and network-wide bids with best-in-class, purpose-built procurement tools. These capabilities give shippers the agility and resilience to optimize their networks amidst volatile market conditions and shifting carrier performance.

Optimal Dynamics introduces next-generation artificial intelligence to enable logistics companies to better plan, optimize and automate strategic, tactical and real-time operational decisions. Based on 40 years of extensive research & development at Princeton University in conjunction with decades of real-world application, CORE.ai reimagines how private fleets, dedicated capacity and for-hire carriers think about planning and operating their truckload assets, drivers and brokerage arms where applicable. Our platform enables users to ask hyper-detailed strategic "what if" questions via a simulation-based environment. We then leverage those outputs to maximize network profitability, increase asset revenue/utilization, reduce unnecessary cost and mitigate risk, all while keeping drivers moving in the most efficient manner.  Optimization is nothing new, but it’s extremely difficult to get right. Through the use of High-Dimensional AI, CORE.ai has been proven to achieve outsized impacts for our customers.

Web development has advanced in leaps and bounds in the last decade, but front-end testing has not. Testing sucks. It’s the part that every developer dreads. It’s often harder to write a passing test than an actual feature. We want to spend our time building cool things, and we need tools that match how we build modern applications. Therefore we built a revolutionary new testing tool from the ground up. We have created a product that we love and actually use ourselves. Our team is highly experienced and passionate about solving problems. We’re lucky enough to have some of the best minds in the industry. Being open source, Cypress is evolving faster and better than if we worked on it alone. Now developers can ship their software faster and more consistently, with confidence. We believe testing needs a lot of love, and we are here to foster a tool, a service, and a community that can teach and benefit everyone.
