(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 18, 2012 ) Philadelphia, PA -- CB Transportation, Inc. can now add “Finalist in the Field of Technology” to its recent list of accolades. This is a prestigious nomination for any company to receive, but rare for a third-party transportation and logistics company (3PL) like CB Transportation. What sets them apart among their peers is the fact that they operate in a 100% virtual work environment. From the CEO, Carole Borden, to her support staff, to the day to day operations team, CB provides seamless logistics services to Fortune 500 companies, growing manufacturers and retailers nationwide.
By definition, logistics implies integration, communication, data management and security. CB Transportation functions in a cutting edge virtual world that allows all this to happen anywhere, anytime. To their customers, they see only the results of a well connected, well coordinated, and proficient team.
Understanding that knowledge and timely decision-making are critical to maintain a competitive edge, CB has built its reputation delivering innovative solutions. Borden says, “We embrace technology and incorporate systems that support our work processes. Our results are measured through increased efficiency, uninterrupted visibility, and a very tight connection to our customers and to each other.”
Sophisticated, yet user friendly systems allow the company to function at a level of proficiency normally seen in mega corporations. The results speak for themselves with more than double-digit growth year after year. Borden knows that her two most critical investments are her team and her IT systems. The company is postured for growth and currently employs people in seven states. Scaling required the implementation of Microsoft 2008 R2 servers, Exchange 2010, Lync Server, Office Communicator, VM ware EXSI 5.0, Sharepoint Server. These products along with an advanced tech team enabled Borden to implement her vision -- offer her customers a vast range of services, stabilized pricing, and flexible equipment capacity, while providing 24/7 connectivity to systems and staff who understand their specific needs and requirements.
The company blends industry talent with virtual technology, and gives CB Transportation the ability to stay connected as goods and information move across their customers' supply chains. Borden strongly believes that her company's competitive advantage lies in its ability to build lasting relationships at multiple levels with its customers. "My team is passionate and their energy comes through via the many communication systems we have in place. Technology for us is an enabler for an enhanced personal experience. It is a very rare blend, not often seen in the transportation industry. For us, we view our systems as an imperative for our continued growth and success."
CB Transportation is proud to be recognized for its leadership in the implementation of IT systems. "The VOLT award validates the non-traditional work environment we’ve created -- the environment we knew could be successful," says Borden. Today, CB Transportation celebrates with SmartCEO the role that technology plays in its business, and the impact it has on the country’s future economic growth.
