UPS Supply Chain Solutions is Tops with Inbound Logistics Readers
No. 1 Third-Party Logistics Provider for Fourth Straight Year
ATLANTA, August 1, 2006 - The readers of Inbound Logistics once again have spoken: UPS Supply Chain Solutions is the No. 1 third-party logistics provider in the world.
The magazine, in its latest issue published this week, said UPS had captured the top spot for its 3PL Excellence Awards for the fourth consecutive year. Nearly 3,500 readers ranked more than 350 third-party logistics companies operating worldwide in the magazine's survey.
"This ranking is based on consistency of service, reliability and the 3PL's ability to establish good partnerships with its customers," according to Inbound Logistics editor Felecia Stratton. "What we liked about the reader comments was an emphasis on UPS transparently getting the job done so customers could focus on other areas of their business."
Voters in the Inbound Logistics survey represent wholesalers, distributors, retailers, service companies and the government and carry titles in corporate management, transportation logistics and supply chain management.
"We're grateful that four years of recognition validates that customers see great benefits from UPS's global transportation and supply chain capabilities, all tied together with the technology and visibility to truly coordinate the flow of commerce," said Bob Stoffel, UPS senior vice president, Supply Chain Group. "But it also challenges us for continuous improvement to sustain top performance."
UPS is the world's largest package delivery company and a global leader in supply chain services, offering an extensive range of options for synchronizing the movement of goods, information and funds. Headquartered in Atlanta, Ga., UPS serves more than 200 countries and territories worldwide.
