Optilogic's connector to Claude is now generally available to supply chain teams and their leaders.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — September 24, 2026 — Optilogic, a leader in supply chain design and optimization, now puts its actionable supply chain intelligence directly inside Claude, so the answer shows up where business questions increasingly begin.
Available through the Claude connectors directory, the connector lets executives and the entire supply chain team ask Claude a question in plain language and get a plan they can trust, grounded in their real network data and built on the end-to-end supply chain expertise of Ada, Optilogic’s agentic AI system for supply chain modeling, not generic assumptions.
The launch marks an important expansion of Optilogic’s platform strategy. Rather than requiring decision-makers to enter a specialized modeling application, Optilogic can deliver its supply chain intelligence through the AI tools executives and their teams already use.
That distinction is becoming more consequential as tariffs, sourcing constraints, demand changes and capacity disruptions force companies to reconsider supply chain decisions more frequently. This new operating environment rewards teams built to make decisions continuously rather than once a quarter. The Claude connector extends that capability to the moment a question first gets asked.
"The future of supply chain optimization is here,” said Don Hicks, CEO of Optilogic. “Claude plus Ada gives our customers and the industry abilities that we couldn't have dreamt just a few years ago: the full power of advanced frontier LLMs, leveraging the complete stack of engines, data, and deep domain knowledge, to solve supply chain problems that have never been solvable before. Productivity plus power is a massive advantage for the supply chain community."
Optilogic’s connector to Claude works across web, desktop, and mobile, and any user can find Optilogic in the Claude connectors directory and connect it in minutes, with no setup required on Optilogic's side.
The connector isn't just for the C-suite. For business users and modelers, it means faster time to value: streamlining model building, running what-if scenarios, and getting answers without waiting. Claude and Ada work the same way for whoever's asking; executive, analyst, or modeler. And because the connector is built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard for connecting AI assistants to enterprise systems, any AI assistant can connect.
Senior Supply Chain Design Engineer at Lineage Derrick Muilenburg said, “Asking Claude to build a network model on its own was clunky. It spent a lot of time guessing what data was required and how it all related. Having Ada as an authoritative expert is like having an experienced modeler sitting next to you. Claude consults with Ada and the result is substantial increase in quality and decrease in time to completion.”
The launch reflects a broader position Optilogic is staking out in the market: that artificial intelligence is no longer a differentiator on its own, but infrastructure that belongs inside the platform, doing the work. Optilogic pairs that AI with mathematical optimization and simulation on a single, always-on technology core. An architecture the company built years ago is now at the forefront as the answer to a constantly-changing supply chain.
The Optilogic Claude connector is available today and anyone can get started with a free Optilogic account.
