GEODIS WILSON RECOGNIZED BY “INBOUND LOGISTICS” AS A WORLD-CLASS, CUSTOMER-FOCUSED LOGISTICS PROVIDER FOR 2010
Geodis Wilson was recently recognized as a Top 100 3PL Provider by Inbound Logistics. “Readers tell us they are required to meet more stringent levels of supply chain performance to keep their customers satisfied. Clearly, customer service is fundamental in measuring 3PL excellence. Geodis Wilson provides that level of customer service and that is why it has been recognized by Inbound Logistics editors as a 2010 Top 100 3PL Provider,” comments Felecia Stratton, Editor, Inbound Logistics.
“We are excited to have been chosen this year by Inbound Logistics as a top-tier supply chain solutions provider,” states John M. Gallahan, Regional Vice President – Americas, Geodis Wilson, “We are building a strong, customer-oriented organization both here in North America and throughout the world. As a result, we continue to win accolades from shippers, carriers as well as from the press for our innovative and award-winning service and solutions.”
TOP 100 SELECTION METHODOLOGY
Inbound Logistics’ Top 100 3PL Provider’s list serves as a qualitative assessment of the service providers that we feel are best equipped to meet and surpass readers’ evolving outsourcing needs. Distilling the Top 100 is never an easy task, and the process becomes increasingly difficult as more 3PLs enter the market and as service providers from other functional areas develop value-added logistics capabilities. Each year, Inbound Logistics editors select the best logistics solutions providers by carefully evaluating submitted information, conducting personal interviews and online research, and comparing that data to our readers’ burgeoning global supply chain and logistics challenges. Inbound Logistics editors selected this year’s class of Top 100 3PLs from a pool of several hundred companies. The service providers selected are companies that, in the opinion of the magaine’s experts, offer the diverse operational capabilities and experience to meet readers’ unique supply chain and logistics needs.
