Signed supply chain optimization.
Every cuOpt route plan gets signed on-chain. NVIDIA's GPU optimization engine plus Hive's post-quantum receipt rail. Court-admissible, checkable, and ready for regulators from the moment the solver returns.
Supply chain AI without receipts is a liability waiting for a subpoena.
Optimization is now non-deterministic, GPU-bound, and changes every release. Yet the receipts shippers, insurers, customs officers, and ESG auditors want are still PDFs. HiveLogistics replaces "the dispatcher's word" with a signed record you can check later, made the instant cuOpt returns a solution.
Regulatory audit-readiness
Hours-of-service violations, ELD records, and the routing decisions behind them stay auditable for years. When an inspector asks "why did this driver take this route on Oct 4th?", a signed cuOpt receipt answers it in seconds: solver version, constraints, and chosen path, every byte checked and signed.
Insurance subrogation
After a loss, carriers reconstruct routes to apportion blame. HiveLogistics gives insurers a deterministic chain of custody from purchase order to delivery: the route plan, the inputs that produced it, the operator who approved it, and the chain anchor that proves none of those were edited after the fact.
Customs & CBP attestation
Cross-border freight has to declare its planned and actual route at every checkpoint. Signed cuOpt receipts work with the C-TPAT and CBP ACE programs as trade-data records a machine can check. They are admissible under 19 CFR §163 record-keeping and the FRE 902(13) and (14) self-authenticating rules.
ESG reporting that holds up
Scope 3 emissions claims now need receipts the same way SOX needs audited books. Every signed route includes the chosen distance, the distance avoided compared to an unoptimized baseline, and the kg-CO2e saved. It publishes as a checkable record your auditor can review against the GLEC framework.
Four steps. Roughly the time it takes cuOpt to solve.
The route gets computed on NVIDIA infrastructure. The proof gets computed on Hive infrastructure. Neither side has to trust the other on faith. The signature does the trusting.
Submit a route problem.
Post a standard cuOpt JSON: TSP, capacitated VRP, pickup-and-delivery, or generic MIP/LP. We sign the request payload before it leaves your environment, so the inputs are locked in forever.
cuOpt solves on H100.
NVIDIA Cloud Functions sends your problem to a managed cuOpt endpoint backed by H100 GPUs. The solver returns the optimal solution, or the best one it can find, along with a repeatable objective value.
Hive signs everything.
The solution, inputs, solver binary hash, GPU class, and start and finish timestamps all get locked into a single receipt and signed with ML-DSA-65 (NIST FIPS 204). The signing key can't be exported.
Anchored on Base, forever.
The receipt hash gets anchored on Base 8453 within the next block. Anyone can check the receipt offline at any time. No Hive servers required, no chain of custody to defend.
Try a 50-stop VRP.
Push 50 random stops, three vehicles, and capacity + time-window constraints to a cuOpt solver. Get back a signed solution with route legs, total distance, total drive time, and a receipt URL you can hand to a regulator.
Pay for what you sign, not for seats.

Three verticals where a signed route is worth more than a fast one.
HiveLogistics does not care which solver you use. The receipt is what matters. In these three areas, the receipt is currently the difference between "we delivered" and "we can prove we delivered."
Last-mile delivery & gig fleets
For DSPs, gig delivery, and on-demand grocery, every batch of routes gets signed before it hits the driver app. Disputes over missed deliveries, geofence violations, or hours-of-service questions get resolved against a single receipt instead of three dashboards that disagree with each other.
- Hours-of-service compliance, signed per route
- Geofence + ELD telemetry receipts
- Customer SLA attestation (delivery windows)
- Subrogation-ready replay for missed scans
Cold-chain & pharma distribution
Vaccine, biologic, and specialty pharmacy routes carry FDA track-and-trace obligations under DSCSA, plus payer-specific custody requirements. Signed cuOpt solutions work with temperature loggers and chain-of-custody scans to produce a single signed record for each shipment.
- DSCSA Title II track & trace receipts
- Temperature-excursion attestation
- HIPAA-safe handling of patient stops
- FDA inspection-ready archive (10 years)
Bulk freight, intermodal & customs
Container, drayage, and cross-border freight leave almost no room for documentation gaps. Signed route plans tie together CBP ACE filings, FMCSA carrier identity, GLEC emissions, and the actual planned route. That is one receipt per consignment, checkable at any time.
- CBP ACE-compatible attestation packets
- C-TPAT-aligned route & carrier evidence
- GLEC-framework emissions receipts
- FMCSA + SCAC-bound did:hive identity
Optimal, Routific, Wise Systems are routing tools. HiveLogistics is a routing tool with a receipt.
We don't claim to out-solve cuOpt. We use it. What none of the incumbents do is co-sign their output so it holds up to a regulator, an insurer, or a litigator.

Eight questions every logistics buyer asks before signing.
Does HiveLogistics replace my TMS?
No. HiveLogistics sits next to your TMS the way an auditor sits next to your books. We take in the same route problems your TMS sends to its solver and produce a signed, anchored receipt. Your TMS keeps dispatching. The first integrations ship with McLeod, Manhattan Active, Project44, and Samsara feeds.
Why NVIDIA cuOpt instead of OR-Tools or a custom solver?
cuOpt is the only commercial GPU-accelerated VRP/MIP solver with a managed cloud surface (NVCF). For 5,000-stop problems, it routinely returns solutions 10 to 100 times faster than CPU baselines. Solver choice isn't about ideology. When a regional DSP needs a new wave plan in 30 seconds, solves that finish in under a second matter. cuOpt is also open source on GitHub, so the binary you sign against is the same binary anyone can check.
What exactly is in a HiveLogistics receipt?
A receipt contains: (1) a SHA3-256 hash of the input cuOpt problem JSON, (2) a SHA3-256 hash of the returned solution, (3) the solver version, GPU class, and NVCF function ID, (4) start/finish timestamps in monotonic + wall-clock form, (5) the operator's did:hive signature, (6) the Base 8453 transaction hash of the anchor, and (7) the ML-DSA-65 signature over all of the above. A reference parser ships in our open-source verifier.
Can a HiveLogistics receipt be used as evidence in court?
Yes. That is exactly what we built it for. Receipts are produced as FRE 902(13) records (regularly conducted activity certified by a qualified person) and FRE 902(14) records (generated by a process that produces accurate results, with a certification from the maker of the process), both self-authenticating. We provide the standing certification language and a court-grade exhibit packet on every receipt at the Operator tier and above.
What happens if cuOpt or NVCF is down?
The platform falls back to a feasibility-only CPU solver and clearly marks the receipt with solver:fallback. You never get a silent downgrade. Every receipt states, signed, which solver produced it, so a court or auditor always knows what they are looking at. SLA credits apply under the Operator tier MSA.
How do you handle PII in last-mile delivery stops?
Delivery addresses get hashed and signed, and the plain text stays inside your tenant boundary. Receipts ship with a fingerprint over the stop list, so you can later prove that a specific delivery was in the original plan without showing the rest. The same methods we use in HiveWallet apply here.
How does ESG reporting work?
Every signed route includes the chosen distance, the distance avoided compared to an unoptimized baseline (say, naive nearest-neighbor or an operator-submitted comparison), and the kg-CO2e difference, computed under the GLEC framework with your fleet's published emission factors. The receipt exports as a CSRD-compatible XBRL file for European reporting.
What does the Gumroad SKU lineup look like?
Five SKUs, matching the Hive Civilization 5-verb model: Make ($199 DIY template), Hire ($5 single signed route), Rent ($999 a month for 50 routes a day), Lease ($9,999 a year for unlimited routes), and Buy ($49,999 white-label deployment). See logistics_gumroad_skus.md for the full proposal.
