EXTON, PA--(Marketwire - May 12, 2010) - Elemica, the industry-leading B2B supply chain network, announces that the company has been selected as a Top 100 Logistics IT Provider by Inbound Logistics magazine. Elemica was chosen out of more than 300 applicants as a leader in IT logistics. The annual list offers a compelling perspective into how the logistics IT industry is shaping up, such as an increased growth of on-demand Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions and more industry-specific and function-centric solutions. Elemica was chosen for their comprehensive supply chain solutions that replace manual processes, strategic sourcing capabilities that lower expenses for purchased goods, and for integration services that combine disparate systems into a single network across buyers, partners, and suppliers.
"We are honored to be named by Inbound Logistics as a Top Logistics IT Provider, and appreciate the recognition for helping our clients drive more value and efficiency out of their supply chain," said Mike McGuigan, CEO of Elemica. "This validates that the logistics services that we offer bring real value to the industries we serve by helping companies improve efficiencies and stay ahead of the competition."
"When choosing this year's Top 100 Logistics IT Providers, Inbound Logistics editors looked at excellence in solving transportation and logistics challenges, but at a higher, more strategic level," said Felecia Stratton, Editor, Inbound Logistics. "Selections were based on how transformative logistics IT solutions impact all business activities and drive integration across internal processes as well as external processes for vendors and customers. Elemica was selected because its solutions solve specific logistics challenges and improve processes, and create a ripple effect of efficiencies across the entire value chain. Inbound Logistics is proud to honor Elemica for innovative solutions empowering logistics and supply chain excellence."
Logistics IT covers supply chain management, supply chain optimization, transportation management, warehousing, freight payment, and global trade management systems. Editors from Inbound Logistics magazine, who select the Top 100, look for companies where logistics and supply chain solutions are core, and where customer successes are documented and publicized. The editors used questionnaires, online research, and shipper interviews to pare down and validate their selections.
