INSIGHT software was an early leader in supply chain optimization and the first to offer an end-to-end detailed network optimization tool. The company was one of the first to deploy MIP solvers in daily and weekly planning applications and pioneered integrated transportation routing algorithms with network design. Its flagship solution, SAILS, introduced supply chain vulnerability analysis long before supply chain risk mitigation became ubiquitous.
Integrity and intense competence were the persistent hallmarks of INSIGHT’s solution and staff.
INSIGHT Co-founder and CEO Jeff Karrenbauer will continue to provide wisdom and guidance in the path forward. “I want to thank all of INSIGHT’s employees and the customers we’ve served over many years. It’s time to pass the torch to the next generation in supply chain design. I’m confident that INSIGHT’s customers will be in good hands with Optilogic under Don Hicks’ leadership.”
“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,” said Optilogic CEO Don Hicks. “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.”
