The Name

The highest point in an orbit.
The view that changes everything.

Definition
apogee
/ˈæp.ə.dʒiː/  ·  noun
The point in the orbit of a celestial body or spacecraft at which it is farthest from the Earth. The highest point; the peak — and the launchpad for the next one.
From Greek apogaion, from apo- "away from" + gaia "earth."
Why the Name

In orbital mechanics, the apogee is the moment of maximum altitude. It's the point where you've pushed far enough from the surface to see the whole picture — coastlines, continents, the full curvature of what lies below.

That's what we believe technology should do for supply chains.

Most companies are stuck at ground level — buried in spreadsheets, exception emails, and manual handoffs between systems that don't talk to each other. They can see the shipment in front of them, but not the pattern. The operation, but not the architecture. The symptom, but not the structure.

We named our company Apogee because we believe the hardest problems in supply chain can only be solved from altitude. Not by abstracting away complexity, but by rising high enough to see it whole — then building the technology to manage it systematically.

Every orbit has an apogee. Every supply chain has a ceiling. We exist to push past it.

The Metaphor

Perigee

The lowest point. Where gravity is strongest and the pull of daily operations keeps you close to the surface. Reactive. Manual. Tactical. Most supply chain technology lives here — solving the problem right in front of you.

Apogee

The highest point. Where you've built enough velocity to see the full system. Proactive. Automated. Structural. This is where technology stops being a tool and becomes an operating system — where decades of operational knowledge become encoded intelligence.

We didn't name our company after the starting point. We named it after where we're going.

If you're ready to see your supply chain from a different altitude, we should talk.
