Logistics Plus Receives 2019 Supply & Demand Chain Executive SDCE 100 Top Supply Chain Projects Award
Recognition earned for increasing supply chain visibility and improving routing reliability for a Fortune 100 global manufacturer.
ERIE, PA. (June 25, 2019) – Logistics Plus Inc., a leading worldwide provider of transportation, logistics and supply chain solutions, is proud to announce it has been selected by Supply & Demand Chain Executive, the executive’s user manual for successful supply and demand chain transformation, as a recipient of a 2019 “SDCE 100” Top Supply Chain Projects Award. This is the third time in the past four years that Logistics Plus has been honored with an award.
The SDCE 100 is an annual list of 100 great supply chain projects. These projects can serve as a map for supply chain executives who are looking for new opportunities to drive improvement in their own operations, and they show how supply chain solution and service providers help their customers and clients achieve supply chain excellence and prepare their supply chains for success.
The supply chain project submitted by Logistics Plus that earned this year’s recognition involved the successful implementation of new supply chain processes for a Fortune 100 aerospace manufacturer that increased supply chain visibility, improved routing reliability, and increased network velocity by almost five days. In less than 30 days, Logistics Plus worked with its client to map out and isolate individual supply chain processes. Local teams were created to coordinate routings between suppliers and carriers, and to capture important data points for continuous improvement. As a result, the customer can now view business intelligence through live dashboards that show aggregate trends to help identify the root causes of delays in transportation.
“Every year our list of submissions for the SDCE 100 continues to grow as more companies rely on the expertise of supply management for innovative decision-making. Our winners raise the bar for what is achievable in the supply chain,” says John R. Yuva, editor for Supply & Demand Chain Executive. “With a variety of company sizes and industry sectors represented, our Top 100 are leading examples for how to approach and solve supply chain challenges. Congratulations to our 2019 winners and the projects that delivered greater operational efficiencies and bottom-line results across the supply chain.”
“Logistics is in our DNA, and these are the sorts of things we do for our customers every day,” said Jim Berlin, founder and CEO of Logistics Plus. “I am very proud of our award-winning solutions team. Thank you to Supply & Demand Chain Executive for recognizing us, once again, with one of their top supply chain awards.”

Logistics Plus is pleased to announce a new feature for its eShipPlus™ transportation management system. Beginning Monday, June 24th, Logistics Plus customers and users of eShipPlus will be able to view instant low-costshippers’ interest cargo insurance options as part of every less-than-truckload (LTL) freight quote. It is not uncommon to find that the included carrier liability coverage is less than the actual value of the goods being shipped, so having visibility to liability limits and access to low-cost cargo insurance will provide extraordinary value to shippers (see article “Carrier Liability and Cargo Insurance – What’s the Difference?“).
To see the new shippers’ interest cargo insurance options (brokered by Marsh USA), eShipPlus users will just need to provide the value of each item in their shipment when performing a quote using the Estimate LTL Rate or Rate And Schedule menu options (see box below).
eShipPlus will then include the estimated maximum carrier liability limits plus a shippers’ interest cargo quote for each available LTL carrier as part of the Rate Selection results.
This is the area where the LTL carrier’s estimated maximum liability limits will be provided. The liability limit will depend upon whether you are shipping new or used goods. This is an estimate only based on the shipment weight and freight classification and is often subject to deductibles, rules, and exceptions.
This is the area where the shippers’ interest insurance quote will be provided. Per industry standards, this quote covers the full value of the shipment, the transportation cost, plus 10%. Cargo insurance is not subject to a deductible and will cover the full value of the amount insured (click Detail[+] to see the footnote, value of coverage, and terms and conditions).
Click [+] next to the total quote amount to see line item details, including the new shippers’ interest insurance option included in your freight quote.
As always, current, new, or prospective eShipPlus customers and users that have questions regarding carrier liability limits or cargo insurance can contact the Logistics Plus North American Division (NAD) freight experts at nadops@logisticsplus.com or complete our online Contact Us form by clicking the button below.
Pennsylvania House Resolution 395 was unanimously passed (with 200 Yea votes) officially honoring June 28th as National Logistics Day. National Logistics Day is a new annual day to recognize and appreciate the importance of the logistics industry in both our national and global economies.
Proudly representing Logistics Plus at the Pennsylvania State Capitol Complex were Scott Frederick, Gretchen Blough, Adam Mook, and Josh Nkomo. Representative Robert E. Merski presented the resolution with his co-sponsors, Representatives Ryan Bizzarro and Patrick Harkins, at his side.
“Successful companies share at least one important trait – they all manage to get their product to the market smoothly, efficiently and on time,” Merski said. “Regardless of the means used to store, ship and deliver goods, it’s clear our modern economy cannot function without logistics. I’m delighted the House unanimously adopted my resolution recognizing the vital role logistics plays, and I’m equally pleased that representatives of Erie-based Logistics Plus – a state-of-the art provider of logistics worldwide – could be here to see the resolution adopted.”
Bizzarro agreed, saying, “Companies like Logistics Plus play a key role, not only in helping businesses throughout the world efficiently deliver their products, but in keeping our regional economy thriving. We’re so glad to support the efforts of this key area employer as it works to champion the cause of recognizing ‘National Logistics Day.”
Harkins said that he understands from personal experience the importance of efficient delivery of goods. “While working as a driver for United Parcel Service for 25 years, I came to understand the vital importance of coordinated, efficient delivery of goods and the impact its success or failure can have – not just on a company but on its consumers, its employees, their families and the entire community. I’d glad to see the importance of logistics recognized today.”
