Gists world-first in dynamic multi-nodal transport planning used for optimising transport for a number of food retailers picked up the prize for Supply Chain Technology at the Retail Week Supply Chain Awards 2011.

With entries from major retailers and their principal supplier partners, all demonstrating industry-leading innovation and expertise, the judges worked tirelessly to choose the eventual winners. Congratulations to all who collected an award last night.

Editor of Retail Week, Tim Danaher opened proceedings by congratulating the shortlist:

"An efficient supply chain is vital to retail success and these awards have highlighted the important but often unsung role that supply chain professionals play"

Martin Gwynn, Gist Chief Executive, said: "GistDXS is a unique, world-leading product designed for optimising supply chain efficiency. It allows us to drive a better utilisation across the network, optimise vehicle fill and reduce food miles. This allows Gist, and therefore also our customers, to reduce cost and carbon footprint whilst improving services.

We believe this is a truly world-leading system and we are thrilled to be recognised through winning the Retail Week Supply Chain Award."
