AUSTIN, Texas, USA (May 30, 2006) — Fortigo, Inc., logistics cost management (LCM) experts, announced today that it has been selected as a Top 100 Logistics IT Provider for 2006 by Inbound Logistics magazine for the second year in a row.
The annual Top 100 Logistics IT Providers are selected from over 500 applicant companies. "As supply chains become increasingly complex, and as shippers continue to source from a variety of places, it becomes essential to leverage technology to bring more strategic value to enterprise logistics," stated Dr. George Kontoravdis, founder and president of Fortigo.
"So shippers should be looking at new logistics IT alternatives, and specifically solutions such as Fortigo that supply strategic logistics technology without burdening constrained IT resources," added Kontoravdis.
"Given the dynamic change facing leading global enterprises, it's hard to imagine how logistics IT solutions providers are able to continue to offer new and exciting solutions enabling logistics excellence. During 2006 Fortigo has been a consistent leader by providing the kinds of solutions
INBOUND LOGISTICS readers need to successfully navigate this change. It's tough to keep up with customer demands in any environment, but given the speed with which change occurred in 2006, it is a testament to Fortigo’s ability to be flexible and responsive, anticipating customers'
evolving needs. For that reason, INBOUND LOGISTICS editors have recognized Fortigo as one of this year's Top 100 Logistics IT companies.
