About Us
Pleased to meet you!Ab Ovo Manifest – AI Powerhouse
It is our mission to help supply chain and logistics companies to be more efficient and sustainable by enabling them to make better decisions through smart digitization. We add value through AI-driven transformation and provide solutions that digitize processes and extract actionable insight from data.
As leaders in mathematical optimization, we have come to rely more and more on Artificial Intelligence because of the value it adds in a world of increasing complexity, uncertainty, and change. And to successfully unlock the potential of AI, we know the importance of combining analytical proficiency with in-depth domain expertise.
We love supply chain and logistics and have a deeply rooted connection with the industry. This is why we attract top talent from operations research and mathematics faculties, as well as seasoned domain experts from the field’s leading companies. We typically work in small but well-equipped, autonomous teams empowering them to make decisions swiftly and think and act customer-centric. We nurture innovative and business-minded thinking and cherish the devotion and passion of our highly skilled employees.
#AbOvo
Despite our local roots, we have a global footprint and work cross-border in a truly international environment. Our approach is no-nonsense, hands-on, and result-oriented. Our operating model consists of five clear steps (1) prove value with rapid prototyping, (2) design sharp algorithms, (3) craft software that does the job, (4) deliver platforms designed to scale and (5) guide organizations to enact change and realize business value.
Thanks to the combination of talented colleagues, strong industry ties & down-to-earth approach, Ab Ovo is the right partner for any supply chain and logistics organization aiming to harness the power of AI.

Our Promise
Going Beyond Complexity
The Ab Ovo logo represents a reliable (blue color) and innovative (orange color) company. We play a pivotal role in the supply chain and logistics industry and serve clients and partners with innovative solutions and services across the globe.
In the logo an infinity symbol is used to represent a strong supply chain as well as the link to our company values: ALWAYS SMART, ALWAYS HANDS-ON and ALWAYS TOGETHER.
Infinity matches with our company name. Ab Ovo stands for ‘from the beginning till the end’.
The business we serve are continuously transforming and Ab Ovo is here to stay to help organizations bring clarity in complex business processes. The more complex, the better it gets. We don’t let you down. Never.
Infinity also represents the never-ending development journey. It can either be seen as a journey by road, rail, air, water or production lane. But the journey is always dynamic and data-driven. Both elements together bring complexity, but strongly depend on one another to work in an efficient, optimized way.
Ab Ovo goes beyond complexity to help companies become more efficient and sustainable.
