MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ryder System, Inc. (NYSE: R), a leader in supply chain, dedicated transportation, and fleet management solutions, has been named one of Food Logistics’ Top Third-Party Logistics & Cold Storage Providers for the 12th consecutive year. The award honors leading third-party logistics (3PLs) and cold storage providers operating within the cold food and beverage industry.
“3PLs and cold storage providers remain a key puzzle piece to building and nurturing partnerships, cultivating resilience, and helping companies in the cold food space overcome supply chain disruptions,” says Marina Mayer, editor-in-chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive.
Ryder is at the forefront of emerging technologies with cloud- and mobile-based solutions that bolster supply chains, resulting in accelerated time-to-market for food and beverage customers, including the top 10 Fortune 500 companies. The company’s industry-leading solutions include dedicated and multiclient warehousing, automation, LEAN process engineering, facility design, labor hiring and management, and collaborative visibility tools such as RyderShare™.
RyderShare™ is the only digital platform from a 3PL that provides real-time visibility on all goods moving across the supply chain. For food and beverage companies that rely on precise temperature control and timely deliveries, the platform’s end-to-end supply chain visibility, exception management, and predictive analytics helps mitigate costly delays and drive efficiencies. In addition, with the recent acquisition of Impact Fulfillment Services (IFS), Ryder has expanded its services with added co-packaging and co-manufacturing capabilities and supply chain, primarily supporting consumer packaged goods (CPG) businesses.
“As pioneers in supply chain innovation, Ryder is committed to transforming the landscape to ensure companies in the food and beverage industry can effectively meet the challenges associated with food storage and distribution, in both ambient and cold chain environments,” adds Darin Cooprider, senior vice president of consumer-packaged goods for Ryder. “Utilizing advanced automation across our dedicated warehousing, multi-client warehousing, and co-packing operations, along with collaborative platforms such as RyderShare, we are setting new benchmarks in the industry.”
