Haladir is a San Francisco AI product lab (YC W26) building the decisional AI layer for logistics. It pairs formal optimization solvers with large language models so software can reason through hard constraints - routing, scheduling, labor and inventory allocation - and produce verifiable, optimal decisions instead of confident guesses. Its Nomos framework sits on top of existing WMS, TMS and OMS systems, unifies their data into one operational graph, and drives decisions through operator review, direct integration, or AI agents.
