Case Study: Cencora achieves always-on supply chain design with Optilogic

Cencora moves from five-year studies to monthly supply chain design with Optilogic

Cencora, a global pharmaceutical solutions organization, faced the challenge of an obsolete, static supply chain design process. Their traditional approach of infrequent, high-effort studies could not keep pace with rapidly changing market conditions like shifting tariffs and demand surges. To move from this "one-and-done" model to a more agile strategy, they partnered with vendor Optilogic to implement its supply chain design platform and strategic consulting services.

The solution implemented by Optilogic provided a persistent design framework and AI-powered platform that automated data cleansing and model building. This enabled Cencora to compress its planning cycles from five-year studies to monthly or even weekly updates, creating an "always-on" capability. As a result, Cencora's internal team gained full ownership of the model and the ability to run scenarios independently, breaking the cycle of relying on consultants for every new question and ensuring knowledge transfer was complete.
