ProvisionAI Named as Top Three Finalists for CSCMP’s 3 Vs Business Innovation Award

Celebrates the Creativity and Excellence in the World of Entrepreneurship


Franklin, TN September 14, 2023 – ProvisionAI, the only provider of a patented, optimized replenishment transportation scheduling solution, announces it has been named a Top Three Finalist for the First Annual 3 Vs Business Innovation Awards Contest, hosted by CSCMP. The award celebrates creativity and excellence in the world of entrepreneurship. ProvisionAI’s LevelLoad solution is a next-generation transportation scheduling tool that fixes replenishment by bridging the gap between supply planning and execution.

“This new genre of optimization software balances transportation costs and site capacities while meeting customer service goals,” says Tom Moore, Founder and CEO, ProvisionAI. “We are excited to be named to this prestigious list because LevelLoad is an innovative solution unique in the industry. It provides significant value for customers with savings in their transportation processes. We look forward to presenting our case at the CSCMP conference.”

A CSCMP announcement reads, “Due to overwhelming responses and truly exceptional entries, and after careful deliberation and consideration, our panelists have named ProvisionAI as one of the top three finalists of the 3 Vs Business Innovation Awards.”

The 3 Vs Business Innovation Award is based on Art Mesher's 3V's Framework on the supply chain discipline. Mesher is one of the foremost pioneers and thought leaders in the supply chain. The 3 V’s principles teach companies to harness visibility, embrace variability, and compete on velocity.

Nominees were asked about the problem or challenge their innovation addresses, how the innovation stands out from competitors, what makes it unique, and how it contributes to industry advancements. ProvisionAI's LevelLoad bridges the gap between planning and operations, eliminating current silos within an organization and evening out shipment schedules that consider network constraints. The result is that shippers can meet an increase in demand, eliminate the need to use non-preferred carriers, and fill trucks fuller.

The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) and CSCMP’s Supply Chain Quarterly launched the Innovations Awards Contest this year. After reviewing many outstanding entries from companies across various industries, the esteemed panel of judges has selected twelve finalists who have demonstrated exceptional innovation and transformative ideas. The top three finalists will present their case at CSCMP’s EDGE 2023 Supply Chain Conference & Exhibition in the exchange’s Innovation Theater on Monday, October 2, 2023, at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center in Kissimmee, Florida.

About ProvisionAI

ProvisionAI provides global manufacturers with a transportation scheduling solution featuring optimized, capacity-constrained replenishment. LevelLoad, the flagship offering, attains long-term transportation planning objectives despite the realities of supply chain network constraints. The results include fuller loads, higher use of preferred freight carriers, and overall lower costs.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
