Trade Tech, a global logistics IT provider and supplier of cloud-based solutions for the transportation industry, has been recognized by Inbound Logistics magazine as a Top 100 Logistics IT Provider. 
    The annual Top 100 list is compiled each April by editors of Inbound Logistics to recognize excellence among IT companies that provide logistics solutions and services. Editors used questionnaires, personal interviews and other research to pare down a field of 300 companies to the top 100 that are leading the way in 2012. Key selection criteria included user simplicity, ROI, ease of implementation and the impact of IT solutions on business activities and processes, both internal and external.
    “Trade Tech was selected for its consistent ability to deliver innovative solutions that empower logistics and supply chain
excellence,” says Felecia Stratton, Inbound Logistics’ editor.
    “Its solutions work tactically to master supply chain transactions as well as strategically to drive the enterprise to more closely match demand to supply.” Stratton says that the Top 100 Logistics IT Providers “empower expansion into global markets and continue to offer innovative and practical solutions in the face of global economic uncertainty in some regions, and global economic opportunity in other regions.”
    Companies on the list, including Trade Tech, “consistently provide the kinds of technology solutions Inbound Logistics readers need to successfully manage their global enterprises, positioning them for global growth as well as enhancing their ability to compete,” Stratton says. “As shippers, carriers, and 3PLs rely more heavily on the latest and most innovative logistics IT solutions, Trade Tech continues to be flexible and responsive, anticipating customers' evolving needs.”
    “We are honored to have made Inbound Logistics’ Top 100 Logistics IT Provider list,” says Bryn Heimbeck, Trade Tech’s CEO.  “I believe it is due to our leading the way in cloud computing, which is revolutionizing the way the transportation and logistics industry does business. We have been committed to the concept of a global solution leveraging the Internet from day one.  We have been continuously impressed with the economics of this strategy and, in particular, in the way that it allows small and mid-sized players to level the field and compete head on with the large players and their
large budgets.”
    Heimbeck also notes that this award comes at an important time in the evolution of Trade Tech’s business. “We are celebrating our 15-year anniversary in 2012,” he says.
