Food Logistics' annual Top Green Providers award recognizes companies whose products, services, or exemplary leadership is enhancing sustainability within the food and beverage industry. Kuebix was selected for helping food and beverage businesses achieve their sustainability goals through Kuebix TMS, which creates efficiencies that lead to lower fuel usage and carbon emissions.

"Kuebix is honored to receive this award for helping numerous companies in the food and beverage industry operate more efficiently and ultimately reduce their carbon footprint," said Dan Clark, Founder and President of Kuebix. "By offering cloud-based collaboration portals plus powerful tools for freight consolidation and route optimization, Kuebix TMS helps shippers minimize fuel usage on the road."


"The agricultural sector and food supply chains at large have long recognized the importance of environmental stewardship for long-term sustainability in both business and for future food production globally," notes Lara L. Sowinski, editorial director. "Food Logistics remains committed to promoting those in our industry who understand their leadership role in sustainability and work to raise the bar with new products, services and strategies each year."

Kuebix has deep industry knowledge gained through years of working with leading grocery chains and food & beverage manufacturers.

Padilla's hard work and vision have shaped and attained milestones in safety, efficiency, productivity and innovation through the global food supply chain.

For numerous food and beverage clients, Kuebix enables stakeholder collaboration, consolidates freight and optimizes routes resulting in more efficient use of trucks and a reduction in fuel usage. By using Kuebix TMS, shippers and carriers support "green" initiatives such as having the ability to match available capacity with freight to prevent trucks from riding empty on return trips. Fully utilizing available truck capacity leads to fewer trucks on the road and less fuel used. Kuebix acts as a powerful command center, helping enterprises, suppliers, and carriers discover opportunities for matching capacity to demand and driving continuous efficiencies.
