Logistics
Tariffs, hazmat constraints, and customs rules expressed in physical units, governed centrally, executable at the warehouse edge.
The problem
Pricing, routing, and compliance logic is hardcoded inside legacy TMS and WMS platforms. A new carrier tariff takes months to implement, and auditing a compliance rule means digging through application code.
A pricing analyst or compliance officer submits a ticket. Developers navigate decades of technical debt to find where the old rule was buried. A tiered discount takes six weeks.
When rules are translated into general-purpose code, physical units become bare numbers. A weight meant in kilograms gets processed as pounds, and no one notices until a vehicle exceeds its load limit.
When customs flags a shipment, operations knows the system rejected it but cannot see which threshold was triggered. "Computer says no" is not an answer for a delayed container.
Introducing Lemma
Separate operational logic from core TMS and WMS codebases. Govern centrally, execute wherever cargo moves.
Define rules explicitly in kilograms, meters, EUR. The engine enforces constraints natively. A dimension in centimeters can never be processed as inches.
When a surcharge is applied or a shipment is routed, the exact step-by-step reasoning is available. A customs broker sees which rule triggered and why.
Lightweight enough to run on handheld scanners, IoT devices, or local warehouse servers. Deterministic in microseconds, no cloud round-trip required.
