Enterprise Logistics Provider Transportation Insight Breaks into Top 10 of NC's Top 100 Private Companies
Company Growth Surges with Innovative Supply Chain and Big Data Solutions as Seen in Leading Business Publication
HICKORY, N.C., Oct. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Transportation Insight, a leading global third-party logistics (3PL) provider, continues its bold move up the list of North Carolina's largest privately-held companies, landing at seventh in Business North Carolina magazine's list of Top 100 Private Companies for 2014. Marking the 3PL's tenth appearance on the prestigious list, Transportation Insight's placement this year is an increase of ten positions from 2013, the most dramatic rise of any company on the list.
"It truly is an honor for Transportation Insight to be recognized as one of the 10 largest private companies in North Carolina," says Transportation Insight President and CEO Chris Baltz. "Our enterprise logistics business model brings a co-managed, continuous improvement approach to supply chain optimization that does not disrupt our clients' internal resources and strengthens their existing infrastructure with innovative technology solutions and business process improvements – a different way of thinking in our industry."
Transportation Insight has been nationally recognized for its ability to help clients solve their complex, global supply chain challenges through sophisticated analytics. With Insight Fusion®, the 3PL's proprietary Big Data solution, clients interact with customized analyses to forecast product needs and quickly adapt supply chain strategies to meet dynamic customer requirements. The web-based business intelligence portal fuses data from numerous sources to provide proactive problem solving capabilities for the supply chain and the enterprise. Extended LEAN®, the company's proprietary continuous improvement methodology for the supply chain, accelerates business growth by streamlining networks and creating significant enterprise value.
Transportation Insight's inclusion as a Top 10 company on the notable list of Top 100 NC Private Companies is further evidence of the lead logistics provider's commitment to deliver on its Vision 20/20 growth plans, a strategic blueprint launched in early 2014 to triple the size of its business by January 1, 2020.
"What really sets Transportation Insight apart in the logistics industry is our tremendous intellectual capital and our forward-thinking clients," Baltz says. "Business models can be replicated, but our strength and core advantage is that our people execute better than the competition, and we enable our clients to do the same by leveraging our supply chain tools, technology and expertise. By continuously improving, our clients and our enterprise grow faster than the competition."
Transportation Insight joins other respected North Carolina-based companies such as Belk, S&D Coffee and Remington Outdoor Company to make the list of Top 100 Private Companies.
