Nash Finch Company Implements LeanLogistics On-Demand TMS®
LeanLogistics, a division of CHEP and the leading provider of Web-native Transportation Management Systems (TMS), announced that Nash Finch Company, the second-largest publicly-traded wholesale food distributor in the US, has implemented LeanLogistics On-Demand TMS® to centrally control and manage its inbound transportation operations. With the installation of On-Demand TMS®, Nash began in-sourcing transportation management rather than contract those services to a third party logistics provider.
Nash Finch's core business, food distribution, serves independent retailers and military commissaries in 31 states, the District of Columbia, Europe, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Azores and Egypt. The Company also owns and operates a base of retail stores, primarily supermarkets under the Econofoods®, Family Thrift Center®, AVANZA® and Sun Mart® trade names.
