HICKORY, N.C., Sept. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Transportation Insight, a multi-modal Enterprise Logistics Provider has again been selected as a leading 3PL & Cold Storage Provider, according to Food Logistics magazine. Transportation Insight was chosen for the breadth and depth of its portfolio of services. Its supply chain solutions encompass robust technology, big data, supply chain analytics and proprietary continuous improvement methodologies that drive optimization to reduce cycle times, improve inventory turns and minimize landed cost. Transportation Insight makes its sixth consecutive appearance on this prestigious list.

Our skilled logistics professionals act as expertise multipliers, partnering with businesses to align their supply chains with strategic business goals that create long-term value and increase profitability," says Transportation Insight President and CEO Chris Baltz. "Increased competition from local to global suppliers, the need to get products to store shelves faster and fresher, and a growing transportation spend for last mile deliveries challenges food producers to seek transportation partners that excel in temperature-controlled distribution. Transportation Insight continues to meet that need across the cold storage supply chain with our integrated carrier sourcing, business intelligence, transportation management technology and freight bill audit and payment solutions that bring increased visibility and efficiencies."

Logistics experts support clients in their day-to-day business while looking for opportunities to reduce cost-to-serve and improve customer satisfaction.
