Food Logistics Honors Company for its Inventory and Tracking Technology

Santa Monica, Calif., Dec. 14th, 2009 - CaseStack's advanced web-based technology is helping grocery suppliers weather the tough economic times by reducing overall cost, according to Food Logistics magazine, who listed the company in its annual top 100 technology providers.

The FL100, now in its sixth year, lists the finest technology solution providers for food and beverage suppliers. This year, the list focused on companies whose technology helps suppliers manage change through a difficult economy.

CaseStack's web-based visibility platform allows customers to view and manage inventory across numerous warehouse locations. After logging in online, suppliers can create orders, track existing ones, add special instructions and monitor individual SKUs, reducing overall inventory and making forecasting much easier.

"Being able to manage your inventory in real-time is a huge asset to any supplier because you are able to keep logistics costs and inventory levels down," said Dan Sanker, CEO and founder of CaseStack. "To be selected out of more than 140 submissions is a testament to our technical team. They see emerging trends before they happen and develop new solutions for our customers."

Sanker also added that CaseStack's technology is a perfect example of a sustainable answer to an industry need. By creating online technology to solve a physical problem, CaseStack helps its customers generate less supply chain waste and operate within a streamlined system.

"Just as with our consolidation program, CaseStack's technology aligns with our goal to collaborate across the supply chain and eliminate systemic waste," Sanker said. "By working together with retailers and suppliers, CaseStack's visibility platform provides a clear view of any customer's warehousing and transportation needs, and that significantly reduces the potential for expiring SKUs, late shipments and inflated inventory levels, all of which increase cost for the supplier, the retailer and the end consumer."
