Supply chain design software vendor Optilogic today said it has acquired fellow software firm Insight Inc., a provider of supply chain optimization technology.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. But Ann Arbor, Michigan-based Optilogic raised $13 million in funding in 2023, and said it would use the new backing to expand go-to-market programs in consumer goods, retail, logistics, manufacturing, and distribution industries, and to further development of its Cosmic Frog supply chain design platform. The company says that software can help any enterprise with a physical supply chain get full visibility into the cost, service, and risk of different supply chain design scenarios.


Before founding Optilogic, the firm’s CEO Don Hicks was co-founder and CEO of Llamasoft, a supply chain software firm that sold off a majority stake to the private equity firm TPG Capital in 2017. Llamasoft was then acquired outright for $1.5 billion by Coupa Software in 2020. 

"We have the greatest respect for what the Insight team has accomplished and delivered over many years; they changed the industry for the better—permanently," Hicks said in a release. "We are honored to have been selected to carry Insight's legacy forward and serve their long-standing customers; we take the responsibility very seriously."

Founded in 1978, Manassas, Virginia-based Insight says it offers solutions for strategic supply chain design, network optimization, strategic sourcing/outsourcing, risk management, sustainability, mergers and acquisitions, optimal production plans and schedules, profit maximization, transportation procurement and operations, and facility operations analysis.

Robotics Roundtable: Automation drives forward

2024 has been a bumpy ride for many parts of the material handling equipment industry. It’s not necessarily that orders have been weak; it’s just that they aren’t up to the levels seen during the heyday of the pandemic-induced warehouse expansions. One of the brighter spots has been the robotics and automation sector, which has benefited from warehouse leaders’ continuing struggles with worker shortages and increased labor costs—both of which can be addressed through the judicious application of automated systems.

As we do every year, we recently gathered experts from the robotics and automation industry to weigh in on both the challenges facing the market and the opportunities that lie ahead. Here’s what they said.

Transportation challenges, solved

Sometimes, all you need is the right partner to solve your logistics problems.

In 2021, global paint supplier Sherwin Williams faced driver and hazardous material (hazmat) capacity constraints: There simply weren’t enough hazmat drivers available in its fleet to maintain the company’s 90% fleet utilization rate expectations for key partner store deliveries while also meeting growing demand for service. Those challenges threatened to become even more acute in the future, as a competing paint supply company began to scale back its operations in the Pacific Northwest, leaving Sherwin Williams with an opportunity to fill the gap.

Robotic revolution

Robots are revolutionizing factories, warehouses, and distribution centers (DCs) around the world, thanks largely to heavy investments in the technology between 2019 and 2021. And although investment has slowed since then, the long-term outlook calls for steady growth over the next four years. According to data from research and consulting firm Interact Analysis, revenues from shipments of industrial robots are forecast to grow nearly 4% per year, on average, between 2024 and 2028 (see Exhibit 1).

High-tech solution helps truckload carrier drive change

The trucking industry faces a range of challenges these days, particularly when it comes to load planning—a resource-intensive task that often results in suboptimal decisions, unnecessary empty miles, late deliveries, and inefficient asset utilization. What’s more, delays in decision-making due to a lack of real-time insights can hinder operational efficiency, making cost management a constant struggle.

Truckload carrier Paper Transport Inc. (PTI) experienced this firsthand when the company sought to expand its over the-road (OTR), intermodal, and brokerage offerings to include dedicated fleet services for high-volume shippers—adding a layer of complexity to the business. The additional personnel required for such a move would be extremely costly, leading PTI to investigate technology solutions that could help close the gap.
