PINC Solutions is Selected FL100 Software and Technology Provider by Food
Logistics Magazine
Leading Business Magazine for the Food and Grocery Industry Segments
Releases Annual Listing of Top Software and Technology Providers.
Alameda, CA, January 18, 2012 -- Food Logistics, the only publication
dedicated exclusively to the grocery and foodservice distribution supply
chain, last month announced the eighth-annual listing of the FL100. Food
Logistics Magazine selected PINC Solutions as a top 100 software and
technology provider for the fourth consecutive year.
Each year, the editors of Food Logistics recognize 100 software and
technology providers that better enable grocery and foodservice
distributors and manufacturers to realize their business goals. In 2011,
the publication focused on solution providers that are helping their
customers differentiate themselves in the marketplace, while
simultaneously facilitating improved safety and traceability throughout
the supply chain.
“With the passage of the FDA’s landmark Food Safety and Modernization
Act, the entire food and beverage sector is under increased pressure to
improve safety and traceability throughout the supply chain. In addition,
the ongoing globalization of food supply chains demands closer
collaboration with suppliers and enhanced visibility from farm to fork,”
notes Lara L. Sowinski, editor-in-chief at Food Logistics. “Technology is
a powerful tool that can ensure compliance, mitigate risk, and serve as a
market differentiator in today’s highly competitive environment.”
“We would like to thank our customers for this recognition,” commented
Ken Colby, PINC Solutions’ CEO. “Food safety and security has been a
recurring agenda item for government regulators trying to build greater
transparency and accountability into an increasingly global supply chain.
As companies source and transport food products from farther afield the
potential for contamination, security breaches, and shrinkage increases.
As a consequence, our customers, such as Kraft Foods and Nestle, are
becoming much more vigilant about how they track and monitor assets –
especially in the yards.“
