What Agillence does

Agillence, Inc. is a privately-held SaaS company founded in 2003 and headquartered in Southfield, Michigan, that builds optimization software for complex automotive logistics networks. The company's core product platform comprises three modules: ALLO (Agillence Lean Logistics Optimizer) for designing and planning high-frequency lean logistics networks using crossdocks and milkruns, with simultaneous optimization of network design, order frequency, routing, 3D stowage, and packaging; ALMS (Agillence Logistics Management System), a hybrid TMS+WMS for execution management of routes, shipments, and freight payment; and ASCD (Agillence Supply Chain Designer) for upper-echelon network and multi-stop route territory design. Underlying technology is proprietary optimization software that translates Toyota Production System / lean logistics philosophy into mathematical models, delivered via a web-based SaaS architecture on a private cloud with SOC 2 Type 2 certification and a 99.5% uptime SLA.

The company sells exclusively to enterprise customers in the automotive value chain - large OEMs (Toyota, Nissan, Rivian, Stellantis), Tier 1 suppliers (Lear), and 3PLs (Penske Logistics) - through a direct field sales motion supplemented by strategic channel partnerships (ICL, Cleo, Penske). Revenue is generated via multi-year SaaS subscriptions with custom contract terms; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Agillence operates with 51-100 employees, has no disclosed external funding, and has accumulated over 20 years of deployment experience in world-class manufacturing environments. The company's expansion strategy, evidenced by recent wins with Rivian (2025), Toyota Motor Europe (2026), ICL (2026), and Stellantis (2026), is oriented toward deepening penetration of the global automotive OEM and Tier 1 base, extending into finished vehicle logistics, and entering the EV OEM segment.
