Wayne, PA – July 2, 2020 – Elemica, the leading cloud-based Digital Supply Network for the global process industries, has won the Food Logistics Green Supply Chain Award for 2020. This is Elemica's sixth time to win this prestigious award.

"Regardless of mode, Digital Supply Network and Elemica Eyefreight together deliver an optimal set of order and shipment delivery control that adheres to business rules that maximize food and beverage fulfillment KPIs, while minimizing mileage and fuel usage," said Cindi Hane, Vice President, Product Management and General Manager, Eyefreight TMS, at Elemica.

"Our annual Top Green Providers award recognizes companies whose products, services, or exemplary leadership enhance sustainability within the food and beverage industry.
