Bachoco, Partners with Optilogic to Optimize its Logistical Efficiencies

The leading supply chain design software innovator, Optilogic, today announced a strategic partnership with Bachoco (IBA:US), a top poultry producer in Mexico since 1952 that began trading on the Mexican Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange in 1997. Doing so will transform Bachoco's supply chain, thereby reducing costs and optimizing operations in an increasingly challenging logistical environment.

With over 34,000 employees and a thousand facilities across North America, the leading poultry company needed a better solution to help navigate its logistical complexities, ensuring excellence in delivering fresh, quality products to its wide customer base. After consulting with Supply Chain Design Expert Carlos Portillo Peña of CPP Consulting, Bachoco decided to leverage Optilogic's supply chain design solution, Cosmic Frog.


As the first design solution to solve routing at scale and automatically apply transportation routes to a network design for reduced cost and environmental impact, Cosmic Frog helps companies deliver improved efficiency and customer service.

"We are thrilled to have found such a robust and innovative solution to improve our inventory management, optimize distribution routes, reduce transportation costs, and keep complying with government regulations," said a Bachoco representative. "We have such a diverse range of products and materials, a vast distribution network, and multiple countries with different governmental regulations to navigate, and Cosmic Frog can do it all."

The partnership further demonstrates the importance of supply chain design for businesses with complex supply chains and high variability and is a testament to Bachoco's commitment to innovation and logistical efficiency.

"We are honored that Bachoco is joining the ranks of many other companies that have moved to Optilogic supply chain design," said Optilogic senior vice president Oscar Torres. "We are confident that by using Cosmic Frog, Bachoco will quickly enhance its ability to provide best-in-class, fresh, quality products to customers across North America."
