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.

"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."
