ASHBY DE LA ZOUCH – CEVA Logistics, a leading global supply chain management company, has won the prestigious UKWA (UK Warehousing Association) Award for Technology and Innovation. The presentation ceremony took place at London’s Dorchester Hotel.
The judging panel commented that “CEVA demonstrated a solution that overcomes the practical and administrative challenges of a “mixed fleet” of vehicles with analogue and digital tachographs. A single process of analysis and reporting was established benefiting both drivers and CEVA”.
John Court, IT Director, Northern Europe, CEVA Logistics said: “This award follows our recent success in the IT Service Desk Awards and reflects the enthusiasm, professionalism and service focus of the team. It also continues to demonstrate CEVA’s commitment to invest in value adding supply chain technologies.”
Nick Cullen, Managing Director, CEVA Logistics UK & Ireland said “I am delighted that CEVA has won the Technology and Innovation award from UKWA. It is a bold and innovative response to the changing transport market place with the introduction of one integrated solution to manage both analogue and digital tachographs serving over 3,000 drivers and 120 CEVA operational sites. CEVA will continue to deliver market leading technology solutions that underpin our reputation for operational excellence. These awards are testimony to the professionalism of our team.”
