Austin, Texas – December 16, 2009 – TAKE Supply Chain (formerly ClearOrbit), the innovator of software solutions to power demand-driven value networks, has – for the third consecutive year – been selected by Food Logistics for the magazine’s annual FL100 list. Food Logistics’ editorial staff named TAKE Supply Chain a top technology provider based on the company’s track record of expertise in helping food, beverage and consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies gain competitive advantages through their logistics processes. TAKE’s work with customers Welch’s, Blue Bell Creameries and Darigold in improving supply chain operations and inventory management contributed to their successful nomination.
The goal of the FL100 is to highlight a broad range of technology solutions and services targeted at the food/CPG industry, addressing the needs of large and mid-sized companies that make up the food supply chain. The theme for this year’s list was
Managing Change Through Hard Times with Technology.
“The FL100 listing provides a guide for decision-making grocery and foodservice distribution and manufacturing executives,” explains Katherine Doherty, editor-in-chief of Food Logistics magazine. “These companies rely on technology to better manage their supply chains and help weather the financial storm. FL100 recipients have demonstrated that they can meet our readers’ specific needs.”
“For the past 15 years, we’ve helped CPG companies manage the complexity and requirements of their supply chains,” said Warren Sumner, chief operations officer and general manager, TAKE Supply Chain enterprise software group. “We’re honored to again receive recognition for delivering solutions that create competitive advantages for our customers by improving performance across their logistics operations.”
