Winners of the Smart Logistics Awards walked away with trophies amidst much cheer and applause from their industry peers
Nagpur, the heartland of India’s hinterland has its own set of advantages and challenges. While it has the privilege of having a number of ports at its disposal on the west coast as well as on the east coast including a number of ICDs, but due to the imbalance in import and export volume the trade has to face challenges related to inventory management. However, there are many traders and manufacturers who have identified various areas where through innovation and to some extent use of technology have been able to attain efficiency in freight movement. Since it is the motto of Smart Logistics Summit to create a platform where all stakeholders could come together and collaboratively create an environment for smart logistics so that efficient, smooth and cost-effective transportation could be ensured. And the organisation and individuals who through their vision and innovative practises have been able to achieve excellence in supply chain were recognised by Smart Logistics Awards.
After three back-to-back brain storming business sessions to identify the bottlenecks in cargo movement, and finding solutions to bridge the gap through the joint effort of shippers and logistics service providers; it was time to unwind and network! And the celebration was multiplied when the awards night recognised the efforts of the industry for logistics excellence, innovation and efficiency. And what better podium could be than Smart Logistics Summit & Awards where fellow industry colleagues are present to cheer. Awards were given in 18 categories for their industry benchmark performance in respective segments. The awards also acknowledged the good practices the companies followed, the technological innovations they used in their business and the quality conscious systems they put in place for their firms to function as a sustainable and responsible organisation. The awards ceremony concluded with some serious business networking as glasses clinked in celebration and appreciation.
