3rdwave's Awards and Acknowledgements
Inbound Logistics' Top 100 Logistics IT Companies

Inbound Logistics Magazine again nominated Blinco Systems as one of The Top 100 Logistics IT Companies in the US and North America.

To quote the magazine: "Inbound Logistics editors selected this year's Top 100 Logistics IT Providers from a universe of more than 300 companies, using questionnaires, personal interviews, and research. Editors sought to match the capabilities of those selected for our Top 100 to the range of our readers' needs - considering the rader range of company sizes and/or logistics' network complexity."

"Many of the companies in this year's Top 100 Logistics IT Providers list have expanded their offerings and enriched functionality. Other providers have gone away and some new companies have been added. The companies chosen also reflect readers' needs; they are looking for fast ROI, quick implementation, simplicity, and a dual emphasis on best-of-breed for some, and end-to-end, all-encompassing solutions for others."
