Boston, MA – April 30, 2025 – Ab Ovo is pleased to announce the successful upgrade of Rand Logistics’ strategic capacity planning solution, leveraging the latest version of the DELMIA Quintiq software. This enhancement represents a significant step forward in optimizing fleet planning for Rand Logistics.
Karen Alongi, VP Financial Planning Analysis & Marketing, quoted: “Our partnership with Ab Ovo has been instrumental in upgrading our capacity outlook solution for efficiently optimizing our fleet operations and meeting customer demands. Their expertise and innovative solutions have significantly contributed to our success. We give Ab Ovo high marks for their technical capability with the DELMIA Quintiq Platform, project management (on time and on budget) and responsive customer service.”
Headquartered in Buffalo, New York, Rand Logistics is a leading provider of bulk shipping services and a valued Ab Ovo customer that operates a fleet of 28 dry bulk vessels across the Great Lakes. Rand Logistics has the largest and most diverse fleet on the Great Lakes.
To remain competitive, Rand Logistics sought to enhance its ability to assess fleet capacity against contracted customer demand for each season. The primary objectives were to maximize segment profitability, and set realistic service expectations. However, their existing scenario-planning process was time-intensive, limiting the company’s ability to make data-driven strategic decisions efficiently.
By implementing the DELMIA Quintiq Platform, Rand Logistics has significantly improved fleet utilization, aligning vessel deployment with operational constraints and optimal routing strategies.. Additionally, enhanced software performance allows for the creation and analysis of multiple planning scenarios, providing greater flexibility to adapt to dynamic market conditions and drive overall efficiency and profitability.
Ab Ovo was selected for this initiative based on their deep expertise in implementing DELMIA Quintiq solutions and strong performance results in solving complex planning challenges. With a proven history of delivering successful optimization solutions, Ab Ovo provided Rand Logistics with the confidence that their strategic objectives would be met effectively.
