Lawson Software Again Named to Food Logistics 100 List
Annual list honors leading technology solution providers for the food service industry
ST. PAUL, Minn. (January 14, 2009) – Business magazine Food Logistics named Lawson Software (Nasdaq: LWSN) as part of its annual Food Logistics 100. The listing showcases technology solution providers that help grocery and food service manufacturers and distributors gain a competitive advantage by transforming their supply chains.
The magazine’s editorial staff selected the current list from end user and solution provider nominations based on how nominated companies’ offerings help food service organizations gain a logistical advantage. This is the fifth annual Food Logistics 100 list.
“Inclusion on this list two years running demonstrates our leadership in helping food and beverage companies address their key business challenges,” said Vicki Griffith, marketing director, Food & Beverage, Lawson Software. “It also reinforces Lawson’s reputation for making our customers stronger by helping them control costs and manage complex global supply chains.”
Lawson is included on the most recent Food Logistics 100 list because it provides a broad range of technology solutions and services targeted at the food service industry while addressing the needs of companies of varying sizes that make up the food supply chain. For example, the Lawson M3 Supply Chain Management suite helps companies collaborate throughout the supply chain, while helping manage the complexities of working globally. It combines sophisticated planning and optimization tools with advanced procurement applications and comprehensive fulfillment options. The Lawson M3 Supply Chain Management suite also gives users tools that can help them gain a competitive edge through simplified use of resources and inventories.
In addition, Lawson QuickStep Food and Beverage, a pre-configured, industry-specific ERP application package, helps food and beverage companies cut traditional ERP implementation time by more than 50 percent, which ultimately helps reduce implementation costs and speed time-to-value. And Lawson M3 Analytics for Food & Beverage helps food companies simplify deployment of a complete package of business intelligence tools by offering 70 pre-configured key performance indicators (KPIs) and 50 pre-built scorecard reports commonly used by food companies.
