FORTE Recognized
by Global Logistics & Supply Chain Systems as a 100 Great Supply
Chain Partner
Business Magazine
Names FORTE a Partner for Long-Term Success
July 18, 2006—FORTE, a distribution supply chain consulting
engineering firm, is honored in the July issue of Global Logistics & Supply
Chain Strategies (GL&SCS) magazine for empowering
growing companies through increasing efficiencies in their distribution
operations to meet customer demands.
FORTE has been named a 100 Great Supply Chain Partner based on
a nomination from a leading designer of exclusive handbags and
accessories, Vera Bradley. A case study within the feature article
describes how FORTE and Vera Bradley teamed together for a successful
long-term partnership to meet Vera Bradley’s 20 to 30 percent
year-on-year growth, which has had a significant impact
on the company’s efficiency, customer service and overall
supply-chain performance.
“Vera Bradley has undergone considerable change and is undertaking
a large-scale, capital-intensive initiative that FORTE is helping
us tackle successfully through a strategic, complementary partnership,” explains
Matt Wojewuczki, Vera Bradley’s VP of Operations. “FORTE
is ushering us through and educating us along the way to support
our growth and facilitate sales momentum for the long term.”
The GL&SCS 100 Great Supply Chain Partners program is
the result of a six-month poll of readers. The magazine invited logistics
and supply-chain professionals to nominate vendors and service providers
whose technology, logistics, transportation or consulting solutions.
The purpose of the list is to recognize the vendors that have so
impressed readers that they deserve to be singled out and to be held
up as examples for others in the industry.
