QCD Named One of Supply & Demand Chain Executives’ 2024 Top Supply Chain Projects Winners

Today, Supply & Demand Chain Executive, the only publication covering the entire global supply chain, and Food Logistics, the only publication exclusively dedicated to covering the movement of product through the global cold food supply chain, named Quality Custom Distribution (QCD) as one of the award winners for the 2024 Top Supply Chain Projects. Recognizing companies that profile innovative case study-type projects designed to automate, optimize, streamline, and improve the supply chain, this award honors QCD’s data transformation roadmap continuous improvement project. 

“The past 12 months has seen companies within the supply chain and logistics space upgrade, enhance, adopt, and adapt in order to achieve greater efficiency along the chain,” said Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief of Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Food Logistics. “Companies implemented others' software and technology to work smarter, together. Their partnerships cultivated resilience and placed a spotlight on projects designed to make the supply chain space safer and more efficient.” 

As a strategic continuous improvement project, QCD’s winning project entails shifting from manual data processes to digital data. The introduction of business intelligence dashboards and analytics has enabled supervisors and managers to allocate time to data-driven associate coaching and enhancing customer service delivery, rather than engaging in data report compilation. Additionally, the data-driven approach offers an objective perspective on QCD’s operational performance, eliminating subjectivity from feedback discussions with associates and customers alike. Customers also benefit from QCD’s digital data transformation with enhanced service and added value through the company’s refreshed analytics and data, which promote transparency, visibility, and operational efficiency.
