100, an annual listing of technology solution providers that help food, beverage and consumer packaged goods companies gain a competitive advantage by transforming their supply chains.
The magazine’s editorial staff selected this year’s list from end user and solution provider nominations based on how nominated companies’ offerings help food service companies address their logistics challenges. This is the fourth annual Food Logistics 100 list.
“Inclusion on this list highlights our expertise in addressing the food service industry’s most challenging business issues,” said Vicki Griffith, marketing director, Food & Beverage, Lawson Software. “It also validates Lawson’s leadership in helping food and beverage companies cost-effectively manage complex global supply chains.”
Lawson is included on the 2007 Food Logistics 100 list because it provides a variety of supply chain products and services. For example, the Lawson M3 Supply Chain Management suite helps companies collaborate throughout the supply chain, while helping manage the complexities of working globally. It combines sophisticated planning and optimization tools with advanced procurement applications and comprehensive fulfillment options. The Lawson M3 Supply Chain Management suite also gives users tools that can help them gain a competitive advantage through optimized use of resources and inventories – in a manner designed to be simpler to use.
In addition, Lawson QuickStep Food and Beverage, a pre-configured, industry-specific ERP application package, helps food and beverage companies cut traditional ERP implementation times by more than 50 percent, which ultimately helps reduce implementation costs and speed time-to-value.
The full 2007 Food Logistics 100 list was featured in the November/December 2007 issue of Food Logistics magazine and at www.foodlogistics.com.
