Logistics professionals acclaim CLEOR and FREQUENTIEL as KINGS of the Supply Chain 2010
On 19 January 2010, at the Buddha Bar in Paris, in front of more than 600 Logistics professionals, CLEOR and FREQUENTIEL were awarded the KING OF SUPPLY CHAIN 2010 trophy from Supply Chain Magazine. This project, designed in partnership with TOSHIBA TEC for RFID printers and PSION TEKLOGIX for WORKABOUT PRO RFID PDAs, received an overwhelming number of votes from the professionals themselves as part of a large forum. The project finally beat the 24 competing proposals vying in technicality and originality. The proven practical advantages of a very promising technology in the supply chain therefore made all the difference in the eyes of the decision-makers.

With 1.25 million square feet of storage in 39 depots across the country, 3663 is a major player in the food service industry. It has over 6,300 employees and a modern fleet of 1,000 vehicles delivering to a customer base of 50,000 organisations in the food, catering and leisure sectors. The company has 3 divisions dealing with ‘Frozen, Fresh and Chilled’, ‘Multi-temperature’ and ‘Logistics’.
To remain competitive in a tough marketplace, the management team at 3663’s Logistics Division decided to change its processes and supporting IT infrastructure to help boost profit margins. This was particularly important as the manual ‘pick and stick’ labelling system that had been running at its logistics depots did not make the best use of time and labour and could be prone to errors without the use of the robust manual processes that 3663 employed. This meant the depots were not operating as efficiently as they could if given the latest technology.
