OMAHA, Neb., Aug 03, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
For the fifth year in a row, Werner Enterprises has been named as one of Inbound
Logistics' Top 100 3PL Providers. The annual list selects companies
that are best equipped to offer the diverse operational capabilities and
experience necessary to meet and surpass customers' unique supply chain
and logistics needs. Inbound Logistics selected Werner
Enterprises as a 2011 Top 100 3PL Provider because of its successful
track record in satisfying customers' needs to cut total cost of
logistics ownership, while delivering the operational efficiency
required to be globally competitive.
"Werner Enterprises is extremely proud to have been recognized as a Top
100 3PL Provider by Inbound Logistics," said Derek Leathers,
president and chief operating officer of Werner Enterprises. "This award
further demonstrates our dedication and commitment to providing
best-in-class global transportation and logistics services for our
customers."
"One key driver in our selection process was how a logistics solutions
provider enables scalability for its customers. In today's economic
climate, it is required that a 3PL produce direct savings for customers
by optimizing a transport network, reducing an inventory-to-sales ratio,
or advancing the order-to-cash cycle," said Felicia Stratton, editor for Inbound
Logistics. "But it is just as important - in some cases more
important - for a logistics partner to act as a business change agent,
driving their customers' ability to match demand for their products more
closely to supply, aligning enterprise operational performance to the
larger economic trend. That is what Werner Enterprises does, and why we
are happy to recognize it as a 2011 Top 100 3PL."
