ProvisionAI Named as Top Three Finalists for CSCMP’s 3 Vs Business Innovation Award

Celebrates the Creativity and Excellence in the World of Entrepreneurship


Franklin, TN September 14, 2023 – ProvisionAI, the only provider of a patented, optimized replenishment transportation scheduling solution, announces it has been named a Top Three Finalist for the First Annual 3 Vs Business Innovation Awards Contest, hosted by CSCMP. The award celebrates creativity and excellence in the world of entrepreneurship. ProvisionAI’s LevelLoad solution is a next-generation transportation scheduling tool that fixes replenishment by bridging the gap between supply planning and execution.

“This new genre of optimization software balances transportation costs and site capacities while meeting customer service goals,” says Tom Moore, Founder and CEO, ProvisionAI. “We are excited to be named to this prestigious list because LevelLoad is an innovative solution unique in the industry. It provides significant value for customers with savings in their transportation processes. We look forward to presenting our case at the CSCMP conference.”

A CSCMP announcement reads, “Due to overwhelming responses and truly exceptional entries, and after careful deliberation and consideration, our panelists have named ProvisionAI as one of the top three finalists of the 3 Vs Business Innovation Awards.”

The 3 Vs Business Innovation Award is based on Art Mesher's 3V's Framework on the supply chain discipline. Mesher is one of the foremost pioneers and thought leaders in the supply chain. The 3 V’s principles teach companies to harness visibility, embrace variability, and compete on velocity.

Nominees were asked about the problem or challenge their innovation addresses, how the innovation stands out from competitors, what makes it unique, and how it contributes to industry advancements. ProvisionAI's LevelLoad bridges the gap between planning and operations, eliminating current silos within an organization and evening out shipment schedules that consider network constraints. The result is that shippers can meet an increase in demand, eliminate the need to use non-preferred carriers, and fill trucks fuller.

The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) and CSCMP’s Supply Chain Quarterly launched the Innovations Awards Contest this year. After reviewing many outstanding entries from companies across various industries, the esteemed panel of judges has selected twelve finalists who have demonstrated exceptional innovation and transformative ideas. The top three finalists will present their case at CSCMP’s EDGE 2023 Supply Chain Conference & Exhibition in the exchange’s Innovation Theater on Monday, October 2, 2023, at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center in Kissimmee, Florida.

The partnership is a response to Mexico’s growing influence in the global economy and a reflection of HUB’s and MAS Seguros’ commitment to expanding its capabilities to better serve clients doing business throughout North America.

Due to changing global political relationships and policies*, there has been a significant move for manufacturing operations to Mexico, which comes with increased risk and insurance challenges when transporting goods cross-border. Organizations face regulatory compliance issues, crime, product damage, catastrophic weather events and accidents. Additionally, more transportation firms from Mexico are moving to the U.S. As a result, there is an emerging transportation and logistics need to manage risk and insure freight, property and assets while transporting goods into Mexico for manufacturing and then back to the U.S. and Canada.
