Retailers and manufacturers the world over are stretched to further reduce costs and respond quickly to changing demands. Buying the right product at low price is no longer enough. Efficiency, speed and accuracy will differentiate leaders from followers. The industry has come to terms with the reality that the traditionally manual product development and sourcing processes based around spreadsheets, e-mails and faxes are too costly, cumbersome and time consuming to support corporate directives. The economic downturn has forced retailers and manufacturers to re-evaluate how things are done and to ‘sharpen the pencil’ for growth when recovery takes hold.

Supply & Demand Chain Executive evaluated hundreds of companies before selecting this year's leading 100 solution and service providers. This year, the magazine focused the criteria for its "100" feature on economic recovery. The magazine has identified leading providers of supply chain services and technologies who are helping their customers and clients both respond to the downturn and, more importantly, position themselves for growth ahead.

“The corporate executives and line-of-business leaders who rely on the magazine want to know what the different supply chain solution and service providers are doing to help them meet these critical, corporate ‘life-or-death’ challenges,” said Andrew K. Reese, editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive. “Therefore, our judging committee looked for solutions across a variety of industries, addressing the needs of companies of varying sizes, and assisting in the transformation of a diverse mix of the functions that make up the supply chain.”

“We are honored to be recognized by Supply & Demand Chain Executive as one of the leading supply chain software provider,” said Michael Hung, CEO, Core Solutions. “Core Solutions is committed to delivering PLM and global sourcing solutions that are powerful and, more importantly, practical to help our customers and their trading partners. These solutions are helping our customers eliminate unnecessary re-keying, track activities to so things don’t slip through cracks, and ensure everyone, in office and across the globe, is on the same page all the time.”
