Gist's industry-leading supply chain and people programmes have
been recognised by reaching the final short-list in both the CILT
and IGD Awards 2010.
Retail Week Awards
Gist's innovative and value-adding approach to the EAT supply
chain has been recognised by being short-listed as
the Supply Chain Project of the Year in
The Retail Week Supply Chain Awards 2011.
Alongside the team at EAT, Gist has addressed a range of
existing challenges and has transformed the supply chain by
consolidating a range of disparate supply chains
into a single logistics operation,
optimising and reducing transport routes, improving safety for
drivers and store employees, and dramatically reducing store
complaints.
In addition, Gist has been shortlisted for Supply
Chain Technology for the
development of GistDXS, a world-first in dynamic multi-nodal
transport planning that is used for optimising transport for a
number of food retailers.
These Retail Week Supply Chain Awards are dedicated to the
retail supply chain and are judged by the industry's leading
experts.
The winners of the awards will be announced at London's
Grosvenor House Hotel on September 7.
