Optilogic Launches Claude Connector for Supply Chain Optimization

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 24, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Optilogic, a leader in supply chain design and optimization, has launched a new connector that integrates its platform with Claude, a popular AI assistant. This integration allows supply chain teams to ask Claude questions in plain language and receive actionable plans based on their real network data and the expertise of Ada, Optilogic’s agentic AI system for supply chain modeling. The connector is now available through the Claude Connectors Directory, making it accessible to executives and the entire supply chain team.
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. This 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 connector works across web, desktop, and mobile platforms, allowing users to connect it in minutes with no setup required on Optilogic's side. Derrick Muilenburg, a senior supply chain design engineer at Lineage, noted that the integration has improved the quality and speed of network model building.
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 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 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.
