C&S Wholesale Partners to Launch Smart Transportation Council
UNITED STATES - Transportation is a crucial part of what we do in the produce industry. To ensure that transportation is one of its top priorities, C&S Wholesale Grocers, alongside other industry leaders, recently launched the Smart Transportation Council (STC). Founding Members include C&S Wholesale, PLM, Microsoft, Optio3, Palfinger Lift Gates, and Merlin Solar.
According to Bulk Transporter, the new industry association says its mission is to orchestrate remote operations management product development activities across original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), advocate for open standards, and help OEMs deliver streamlined and more powerful solutions to fleet owners and operators at a lower total cost of ownership.
“C&S is an innovation leader in the wholesale grocery business,” said Chris Trajkovski, Vice President of Transportation, Fleet Maintenance, and Safety and Compliance. “We are proud to be a founding member of the STC and have high hopes that by working together we can finally solve this puzzle. Fleets need to step up and articulate a clear set of requirements so our key vendors can make smart investments. And we need world-class technology companies to help spur innovation.”
