With the demand for effective 3PL solutions continuing to grow, an eft 3PL award gives you the chance to raise your company’s profile in an increasingly competitive market.

Winning an award will:

• Highlight your company as one of the most innovative and influential companies in the 3PL industry and encourage new business
• Dramatically increase your marketing and PR exposure as well as end-customers’ awareness of your brand
• Earn recognition for your company in front of the leaders in the 3PL space

The shortlist for this year's nominations will be announced on April 24^th, 2014 and voting will run from then until May 8th. The shortlist is compiled by a distinguished judging panel who nominate their leading 3PL service providers across 10 categories. These nominations are then compiled and the finalists released for customer voting.

The winners of the final round of customer voting will then be announced and celebrated at the annual 3PL Summit & Chief Supply Chain Officer Forum – the major industry meeting place for 3PLs and 3PL users.  The Gala Awards Reception will be held on a boat cruise on Lake Michigan coinciding with a silent charity auction on the evening of June 11^th, and will be attended by 600 executives, including the CEOs of many top 3PLs, and VP & SVP supply chains from major customers.

“It promises to be a very exciting year for the 3PL awards,” said Katharine O’Reilly, the Executive Director of eft.  “We’ve had a growing voter response year on year, and the competition this time round is sure to be fierce. It’s clear that happy customers are really willing to support their best logistics partners.  This represents a real sense of partnership in the industry, and reflects longer and more stable relationships that are a very positive trend.”
