Kuebix Wins SDCE Green Award for 2nd Consecutive Year

Kuebix Recognized for Helping Customers Meet Green Sustainability Goals

Kuebix Wins SDCE Green Award for 2nd Consecutive Year

December 10, 2018 (Maynard, MA) - Kuebix, creator of a transportation management system that delivers true freight intelligence, announces winning the Supply & Demand Chain Executive Green Supply Chain Award for 2018. This annual award recognizes companies making green or sustainability a core part of their supply chain strategy and are working to achieve measurable sustainability goals within the global supply chain. The awards also recognize providers of supply chain solutions and services assisting their customers in achieving measurable sustainability goals.

Shippers leveraging Kuebix TMS find more efficient ways to ship their products. Efficiency isn't only measured in time and money savings, however, but green savings as well. Users can consolidate orders onto larger truckloads with the help of order and route optimization and can make strategic decisions about which carrier to choose when comparing multiple rates. Dock Scheduling and inbound programs help to keep operations flowing at the dock. Kuebix Community Load Match is helping shippers get spot quotes and match available truckload capacity with freight. These aspects of Kuebix TMS minimize empty trucks on the road, shorten routes, and decrease idling in the yard, meaning less fuel is used.


"At Kuebix, we believe that shipping can be made highly efficient with the help of technology," said Dan Clark, Founder and President, Kuebix. "Our customers are saving valuable time, money, and contributing positively to environmental initiatives. We're proud to be helping many of our customers meet their sustainability goals and are honored to be recognized with the SDCE Green Award for a second time!"

"This year's award recipients place a critical emphasis on green initiatives within their companies and supply chains," says John R. Yuva, editor for Supply & Demand Chain Executive. "Entries provide examples of innovative approaches and impressive metrics of sustainability programs. We congratulate this year's honorees for their commitment to sustainability and recognize their tremendous achievements. Our honorees serve as role models for supply chains globally to expand their reach and impact of green leadership."

This year's 10th-annual Green Supply Chain Awards recognize small, mid-size and large enterprises that leveraged green practices and solutions to further drive sustainable improvements in the supply chain. Winners are listed in the December 2018 issue of Supply & Demand Chain Executive.
