Leading innovator provides real-time-visibility enabled supply

honoring best practices in logistics.
BERKELEY, CA, July 9, 2009 – PINC Solutions, the leading innovator in real-time
visibility enabled supply chain management solutions, today announces that its
customer, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, has been awarded the 2009 Logistics Best
Practices Gold Award for the company’s yard management project using a system
provided by PINC.
The winning case study of the trailer tracking project was featured as the cover
story for the June issue of Logistics Management Magazine. “K-C transformed managing
semi-trailers and yard jockey services at a 1,200-acre site with manual processes
from a labor intensive, inefficient and costly process using paper logs, old data,
unknown asset locations and lack of actionable information into a modern, Web-based
management process to achieve real-time asset visibility and significant cost
savings,” noted the judges of the award.
“We are very excited to see Kimberly-Clark being honored for its achievement in
using technology to improve operational efficiencies,” said Michelle Kiang, Vice
President of Marketing of PINC Solutions. “By working in partnership with our
customers, we have developed a unique technology platform that has proven to help
the users improve their supply chain visibility and optimize their yard and
transportation operations. Our customers see immediate returns on their investment
by reducing costs and improving productivity.”
This award followed other recognitions won by PINC and its customers in the supply
chain and logistics industry. Most recently, PINC was named among the 2009 top 100
technology solution and service providers by both Inbound Logistics and Supply and
Demand Chain Executive Magazines.
