July 10, 2018 (Dallas, TX) - Transplace, a leading provider of transportation management services and logistics technology solutions, today announced that it has been named as BASF Corporation's Supplier of the Year for North America. Transplace has supported BASF's supply chain needs for more than 10 years and was selected from among the company's 12,000 North American suppliers for its efforts in seamlessly converting the company to Transplace's proprietary transportation management system (TMS), increasing supply chain visibility, improving on-time performance and achieving cost savings.
BASF serves nearly every sector with a broad portfolio in five segments: Chemicals, Performance Products, Functional Materials & Solutions, Agricultural Solutions and Oil & Gas. Each year, BASF honors suppliers for their outstanding contributions to procurement in North America in three categories: innovation, performance and sustainability. This year, BASF recognized Transplace as its Supplier of the Year in the innovation category as well as its overall Supplier of the Year.
