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.
