The eyefortransport 3PL Awards

Each year the eyefortransport 3PL Awards aim to recognize those 3PLs that continuously deliver excellence in logistics operations and superior service to their customers.  We take pride in preciding over an awards voting process that accurately reflects the views of 3PL users by putting them on the judging panel - rather than a set of 'experts'.  The awards are decided on by the manufacturers and retailers who depend upon and work with logistics service providers everyday.

As such, these awards take on a special significance, and the winners can feel confident in the knowledge that their customers have chosen them as best of breed partners in supply chain excellence.

Who Should Vote?

Voting is open to shippers - manufacturers/retailers who outsource logistics operations to a 3PL.

Winners of annual eyefortransport 3PL Awards announced at the world’s largest 3PL Forum

June 22nd, 2010

The winners for this year's eyefortransport 3PL awards were announced during an awards reception at eyefortransport's 8th annual 3PL Summit held at the InterContinental Buckhead in Atlanta, Georgia.

Each year the eyefortransport 3PL Awards aim to recognize those 3PLs that continuously deliver excellence in logistics operations and superior service to their customers.  The awards are decided on by 3PL customers - the manufacturers and retailers who depend upon and work with logistics service providers everyday.

As such, these awards take on a special significance, and the winners can feel confident in the knowledge that their customers have chosen them as best of breed partners in supply chain excellence.

The awards ceremony was hosted by Dr. John Langley, Professor of Supply Chain Management, Georgia Tech and presented by Greg Javor, VP Global Supply Chain Operations, Starbucks. “This has been a trying year for 3PLs and their customers,” said Katharine O’Reilly, the Event Director and eyefortransport’s Senior Vice President of Research. “The awards this year represent customers’ renewed faith in their 3PLs ability to deliver the service they need both during and after a recession. As the industry moves towards new challenges and opportunities, these relationships will make or break both sides of the relationship. It’s an honor to preside over these awards.”
