FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
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 Proclaims June 28th as National Logistics Day
New holiday created to recognize and appreciate the importance of the Logistics Industry.
ERIE, PA (June 6, 2019) – Logistics Plus Inc., a leading worldwide provider of transportation, logistics and supply chain solutions, has partnered with the Registrar at National Day Calendar to proudly proclaim June 28th as National Logistics Day™ – a new annual day to recognize and appreciate the importance of the logistics industry in both our national and global economies.
THE HISTORY OF LOGISTICS
Almost 750 years ago, on June 28th* of 1271 (*quite possibly, but maybe not) the logistics industry first started to take shape when Marco Polo journeyed to China on the “Silk Road” and kept a detailed written record, paving the way for future traders and merchants traveling between Europe and China. In 1896, the first “horseless carriage” semi-truck was invented, improving how goods moved across our country. The first air cargo flight took place in 1910 between Dayton and Columbus, increasing the speed with which goods could be delivered in the U.S. In 1956, the first container ship sailed from the port of New Jersey to Texas, forever changing how goods would move around the world. Logistics connects the world and always will.
Today, logistics accounts for nearly 8% of everything we make and sell in the United States. That includes packaging, warehousing, shipping, and more. The third-party logistics (3PL) industry – those that help businesses efficiently manage logistics across their supply chains (from 3PLs to truckers to warehouse managers) – represents an $800 billion industry on its own.
HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL LOGISTICS DAY
Visit NationalLogisticsDay.com to read interesting facts about the logistics industry; grab a copy of the official holiday logo; or download a complimentary copy of the new Logistics Careers Plus More For Dummies® eBook written by Daniel Stanton, aka Mr. Supply Chain, and presented by Logistics Plus.

Logistics Plus Sponsors Best of Varsity Cup 2019 Presented by Erie Times-News/GoErie.com
It is the third-consecutive year that Logistics Plus has been a marquee sponsor.
ERIE, PA (May 14, 2019) – Logistics Plus Inc., a leading worldwide provider of transportation, logistics and supply chain solutions, is proud to announce that, for the third consecutive year, it is sponsoring the Best of Varsity Cup presented by Erie Times-News/GoErie.com. The event is to celebrate and honor the accomplishments of the 2018-2019 All-Area high school student athletes and top performers from 45 high schools across 8 Counties in 24 sports.
The 2019 awards banquet, which takes place next month on Wednesday, June 26th at the Bayfront Convention Center in Erie, PA, is a way to say thank you to the thousands of outstanding high school athletes, coaches and fans who allow Erie Times-News/GoErie.com to share their stories, performances and passions. Awards will be presented to the Outstanding Player of the Year in each sport, as well as Male Athlete of the Year, Female Athlete of the Year and Coach of the Year. Best of Varsity Cup athletes are invited to attend for free and the event is open to family, friends and the general public.
As a primary sponsor, Logistics Plus is also proud to welcome Pro Football Hall of Fame legend and former Buffalo Bills quarterback, Jim Kelly, as the guest speaker for this year’s Best of Varsity Cup awards dinner. Kelly originally was scheduled to attend the 2018 Varsity Cup, but because of a recurrence of cancer and his continuing recovery last spring the Times-News was unable to have Kelly serve as the main speaker. Pittsburgh Steelers great Hines Ward served as the speaker last year in Kelly’s absence.
“All of us at Logistics Plus are proud to be associated with the Best of Varsity Cup for a third consecutive year,” said Jim Berlin, founder and CEO of Logistics Plus. “The dedication, hard-work, and passion for excellence shown by these young athletes are traits that we all admire and share here at Logistics Plus.” Berlin added, “As a lifelong Bills fan, I am also very excited that Jim Kelly will be our special guest for the dinner this year.”
