Transportation Insight's VP Parcel Operations Named Supply Chain Pro to Know

HICKORY, N.C., Feb. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Transportation Insight, a leading global third-party logistics (3PL) provider, announces Vice President of Parcel Operations Todd Benge has been named a Provider Pro to Know by Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine. Benge was chosen because of his 30 years leadership experience with innovative transportation technology, data analysis tools and parcel program expertise.

"Todd brings an unrivaled track record of creating enterprise value for hundreds of North American Fortune 500 clients through advanced parcel analytics and optimization best practices," says Transportation Insight President and CEO Chris Baltz. "His small package expertise undergirds our integrated multi-modal Enterprise Logistics offering, helping clients increase efficiency and uncover strategic opportunities for enterprise improvement."

Leveraging parcel technology solutions that include audit, engineering and advanced analytics, Benge works with omni-channel B2C and B2B retailers to design customized shipping solutions that enhance their supply chain networks, mitigate risk, increase compliance, improve customer satisfaction and ensure excellent customer delivery experiences – all while helping clients with profitability and growth.  In one instance, Benge partnered with a North American retailer to streamline operations and reduce expenditures by $14.3 million.

"We work with clients to improve efficiencies, reliability and communications to meet customer expectations," says Benge. "Today, parcel shippers focus on quicker deliveries to their customers and believe the best way to achieve this is to improve time in transit.  Faster delivery, however, adds additional expense. The tools we've designed help our clients transform their multi-modal supply chains into adaptive powerhouses that create value. It is an honor for me, and for Transportation Insight, to be recognized for our innovations."

The Pros to Know Awards recognize supply chain executives, and manufacturing and non-manufacturing enterprises, that are leading initiatives to help prepare their companies' supply chains for the significant challenges of today's business climate. This year's list includes leaders from software firms and service providers, consultancies or academia, who helped their supply chain clients or the supply chain community at large prepare to meet these challenges, as well as a select number of Practitioner Pros, who do the same within their own companies.
