Gists world-first in dynamic multi-nodal transport

retailers picked up the prize for Supply Chain Technology at the
Retail Week Supply Chain Awards 2011.

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."
