InTek Freight & Logistics has been named a winner of the Top Software & Tech Award by Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive. The award spotlights new-to-market software and technology solutions in the supply chain space. The company was recognized for its new data warehouse reporting and market data tool called InTek InTelligence - an add-on for MercuryGate TMS (transportation management system) users.
"We're tremendously excited to receive this honor," said Shelli Austin, InTek President. "It's a testament to our incredible Technology team, who are always looking at ways to enhance the user experience for our TMS customers, with InTek InTelligence a prime example of how they've done just that."
InTek InTelligence acts as a repository of historical information over the long-term - directly integrating with MercuryGate's award-winning platform. Using this tool, companies can combine that data with current information and external market rate figures to perform deep analysis of their shipping trends and costs over any length of time for fully informed decision-making. They can then post them via continually updating dashboards and share both internally and with partners.
“From robotics and warehouse automation to procurement and ERP software, WMS, TMS and supply chain visibility solutions, the supply chain software and technology sector continues to boom.” said Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive. "These solutions (and many more) are designed to streamline, optimize and innovate the supply chain and logistics space, and do so by incorporating emerging technologies and a path to efficiency."
The 2023 Top Software & Tech award featured two main categories - Small Business and Enterprise - then five sub-categories within each of those: Procurement/ERP Software, WMS/TMS Software (for which InTek was recognized), Warehouse Automation, Robotics, and Supply Chain Visibility Solutions. Fifty-six percent of submissions focused on new-to-market solutions with the remaining 44% regarding an enhancement to existing technology.
"Winning this award shows that we value innovation," said Rick LaGore, InTek CEO. "When we see a way to improve service, our team creates a solution, whether it be for a particular shipping challenge or to strengthen our technology offerings. We thank our employees, our customers, and these excellent publications for the honor."
InTek received this award from Food Logistics in 2022 as well, which at that time honored software and technology providers that ensure a safe, efficient and reliable global cold food and beverage supply chain.
