Top Logistics Provider
Every year, Inbound Logistics recognizes 100 logistics IT companies that support and enable logistics excellence. Inbound Logistics’ editors selected this year's list from more than 300 companies through a comprehensive process of evaluating questionnaires, conducting research and soliciting reader feedback. ILOG was selected because the company’s solutions reflect leadership and address industry needs for simplicity, return on investment (ROI) and efficient implementation.

“Solution providers such as ILOG empower logistics and supply chain management, continuing to offer innovative and practical solutions in the face of fast-changing challenges,” said Felecia Stratton, editor of Inbound Logistics. “During 2008, ILOG consistently provided the kinds of technology solutions Inbound Logistics’ readers need to successfully manage their global enterprises. As shippers, carriers and third-party logistics (3PLs) providers increase their use of logistics IT, ILOG continues to be flexible and responsive, anticipating customers' evolving needs. That's why Inbound Logistics’ editors have recognized ILOG as one of 2008's Top 100 Logistics IT providers.”

Food Logistics identified ILOG as a top 100 technology and solution provider to the food industry.
