Customers include Van Moer Logistics, Bleckmann and Stow International. Network Venture Partners took a minority stake in August 2024 for an undisclosed amount. Optioryx sits in the imec.istart portfolio, was named Supply Chain Start-Up of the Year in 2023 by Supply Chain Masters and PICS Belgium, and works with Deloitte, Zetes and Socius24.

- Honored to add a legend like Mark Soetens to the team. Welcome!
- A med tech distribution center's (well-known) WMS already handled the clustering and the pick sequence. But routes were created based on static business rules and the classic pick snake sequence. Now they run Optioryx optimization in the background of their WMS, clustering orders onto each trolley and solving 3D packing to fit different box sizes on multiple different trolley shelves. Swipe through to see what changed on the trolleys and routes. More on how it works 👉 https://bit.ly/4yuhecS
- A new success! A medical technology distribution center increases picking productivity by 27% with Pulse. 30,000 order lines a day, picked by 60 pickers.

Those pick routes took way longer than they needed to. Pulse now runs on top of their existing WMS, clustering orders onto each trolley, while apply 3D packing to fit different box sizes on multiple different trolley

- A warehouse slotting plan should not be optimizing just one thing. It balances walk distance against congestion, stackability and replenishment effort, inside the compliance rules. Focusing too much on walk distance is wrong in peak for some warehouses, because concentrating high-velocity SKUs reduces pick distance but increases congestion. Two things worth doing before peak volumes come in: • Raise the importance of congestion (relative to walk distance) in your slotting plan. Accept a slightly longer distance to have
