The annual Top Supply Chain Projects Award spotlights successful and innovative transformation projects that deliver bottom-line value to small, medium, and large enterprises across various supply chain functions. These projects show how supply chain solution and service providers help their customers and clients achieve supply chain excellence and prepare their supply chains for success.
The supply chain project submitted by Logistics Plus that earned this year’s recognition involved the development of a custom TMS solution bundled with complete multi-mode freight management, freight audit, and freight payment services. The case study can be viewed online.
“This project is a great showcase for our technology solutions,” said Jim Berlin, Founder and CEO of Logistics Plus. “Today, information technology and business intelligence are just as important as moving freight for supply chain managers looking to increase shipment visibility and reduce costs.

Logistics Plus Customs Brokerage Manager Gretchen Blough made another appearance on Marketplace to discuss international trade and China tariffs that are still in place from the Trump era.
Gretchen commented on how the tariffs have made U.S. manufacturers more competitive. “These additional tariffs on everything, the additional duties on everything, gives the U.S. manufacturers a more level playing field,” said Blough, who works at Logistics Plus in Erie, Pennsylvania. Gretchen added, “The landed cost goes up on these imported goods, and therefore the U.S. manufacturer is able to better compete with them.”
