Ann Arbor, MI—Dec. 4, 2023 — Food Logistics, the only publication exclusively covering the movement of product through the global cold food supply chain, and Supply & Demand Chain Executive, the only publication covering the entire global supply chain, selected Optilogic as one of this year’s Top Tech Startups, which spotlights top software and technology startups in the supply chain and logistics space.
