Cited for Digitizing Supply Chains via Innovate Supplier Collaboration Platform for Construction’s Heavy Work


BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Command Alkon, the Leading Supplier Collaboration Platform for Construction’s Heavy Work, has won the Inbound Logistics magazine Top 100 Logistics IT Provider Award.

Each year, Inbound Logistics’ editors analyze the capabilities of logistics technology providers based on submitted questionnaires and other sources, then select 100 companies offering solutions designed to meet logistics managers’ supply chain needs. Command Alkon was chosen to receive this accolade for its supply chain solutions targeting the construction industry that help companies digitize their supply chains; improving productivity, increasing efficiencies and lowering costs.

“We are extremely pleased to be selected from the hundreds of nominations for this year’s Inbound Logistics list of top logistics software and technology providers," said Phil Ramsey, CEO at Command Alkon. "Our Supplier Collaboration Platform brings visibility to operations for real-time tracking of material shipments, enabling collaboration between trading partners while streamlining operations. New capabilities to trace in-transit material properties only serve to enrich the value of the platform through productivity gains and certainty of outcomes for heavy-civil and heavy-commercial construction projects.”

“When choosing the 2019 Top 100 Logistics IT Providers, Inbound Logistics editors looked at excellence in optimizing supply chain, logistics, and transportation operations. Strategically, editors make their selections based on how transformative solutions impact those business activities driving integration across internal and external business processes. Command Alkon was selected because its solutions solve specific logistics challenges, improve processes, and create a ripple effect of efficiencies across the entire enterprise value chain,” said Felecia Stratton, Editor, Inbound Logistics.

Command Alkon brings solutions that enable collaboration between Contractors, Project Owners and Jobsite Inspectors through to their Heavy Material Suppliers; Aggregate Suppliers, Ready-Mix Concrete and Asphalt Producers, and Bulk Material Haulers. Digitizing and automating processes across the heavy work supply chain opens the lines to break-through efficiency gains. Removing manual and paper-based processes eliminate the dependence on paper-tickets and frees up time for people to work on more valuable activities that lead to increased profitability.

Inbound Logistics’ editors place value on choosing providers whose solutions are central to solving transportation, logistics, and supply chain challenges, and whose customer successes are well-documented. This year’s Top 100 Logistics IT Providers include those serving Fortune 1000 companies, as well as small and medium-sized businesses. The Top 100 Logistics IT Providers list appears in all the April 2019 magazine editions and will be posted online.
