Shipwell, an industry leader in cloud-based shipping and logistics, has been named a winner of Supply & Demand Chain Executive’s Green Supply Chain Award for the second year in a row. The award recognizes companies making sustainability a core part of their supply chain strategy and achieving measurable goals within their operations.
“We’re honored to be recognized again for our fully connected and cloud-based innovations that help our customers minimize their environmental impact,” said Shipwell CEO and Co-Founder Greg Price. “The EPA has said that organizations’ supply chains often account for more than 90 percent of their greenhouse gas emissions, and we remain committed to giving customers ways to save money and reduce their carbon footprint.”
Shipwell helps customers improve their impact on the global climate and become EPA SmartWay-certified by improving route efficiency, highlighting methods for improving operations and reducing waste. From the first to the final mile, Shipwell’s customers get accurate information and guidance on the optimal number of vehicles required and the most efficient route to be taken.
A software provider for protein trading and logistics estimated it avoided more than 1 million pounds of food waste and reduced shipping costs by 16.4 percent in six months after moving away from manual processes and bringing their supply chain operations onto Shipwell’s platform.
Shipwell’s platform centralizes supply chain data and leverages automation to replace manual tasks and reduce operating expenses. Its single-screen event dashboard, Compass Dashboard, utilizes AI to provide logistics managers with real-time tracking data into their shipments and the ability to proactively address issues before or during their shipments’ lifecycle. This dashboard provides an all-in-one way for shippers to gain visibility into potential obstacles and avoid delays that can negatively affect their supply chains.
“Several industry experts and market research reports show how Shipwell—regardless of the pandemic, shortages, natural disasters and other supply chain disruptions—maintains sustainability as a top priority in the supply chain. Whether it’s a new solution, a new program or just simply a new way of doing business, these winners showcased heightened attention to social responsibility and environmental governance,” said Marina Mayer, editor-in-chief of Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Food Logistics. “Regardless of the challenges faced by the supply chain industry, a sustainable supply chain continues to win in the end.”
