Built to do one thing.
Icepack was formed by people who wanted to do one thing: provide a high-quality optimisation engine for companies working in logistics.
That focus came from a realisation. Software providers in transport management carry many competing priorities. Their clients want custom integrations, dashboards, reports, tracking and data management, all of it outside the scheduling itself.
Our answer was a company that builds a single component, one that plugs into existing software stacks and logistics decision pipelines and answers scheduling problems quickly and reliably.
Research depth, applied to logistics.
Icepack's research and development team brings many years of experience in software development for transport logistics and in operations research.
Our core R&D members have worked across many domains. They have a deep understanding of the optimisation field, and of how to apply its techniques effectively to the kinds of problems found in logistics.
We hold PhDs in Operations Research, Machine Learning and Bioinformatics, and postgraduate degrees in Computer Science, Mathematical Statistics, Industrial Engineering and Applied Mathematics.
We are active in the academic societies local to our field, to stay in touch with current research and to give back what we learn from applying these techniques in the real world.
