PINC Solutions is selected FL100 Software and Technology Provider by Food Logistics Magazine (1888PressRelease) Leading Business Magazine for the Food and Grocery Industry Segments Releases Annual Listing of Top Software and Technology Providers. Alameda, CA - Food Logistics, the only publication dedicated exclusively to the grocery and foodservice distribution supply chain, last month announced the eighth-annual listing of the FL100. Food Logistics Magazine selected PINC Solutions as a top 100 software and technology provider for the fourth consecutive year. Each year, the editors of Food Logistics recognize 100 software and technology providers that better enable grocery and foodservice distributors and manufacturers to realize their business goals. In 2011, the publication focused on solution providers that are helping their customers differentiate themselves in the marketplace, while simultaneously facilitating improved safety and traceability throughout the supply chain. "With the passage of the FDA's landmark Food Safety and Modernization Act, the entire food and beverage sector is under increased pressure to improve safety and traceability throughout the supply chain. In addition, the ongoing globalization of food supply chains demands closer collaboration with suppliers and enhanced visibility from farm to fork," notes Lara L. Sowinski, editor-in-chief at Food Logistics. "Technology is a powerful tool that can ensure compliance, mitigate risk, and serve as a market differentiator in today's highly competitive environment." "We would like to thank our customers for this recognition," commented Ken Colby, PINC Solutions' CEO. "Food safety and security has been a recurring agenda item for government regulators trying to build greater transparency and accountability into an increasingly global supply chain. As companies source and transport food products from farther afield the potential for contamination, security breaches, and shrinkage increases. As a consequence, our customers, such as Kraft Foods and Nestle, are becoming much more vigilant about how they track and monitor assets - especially in the yards."
