These words are often overused, but we refuse to give them up just because they have become fashionable. ES3 was founded on a vision of a world where manufacturers and retailers collaborated to streamline the supply chain, reducing cost, increasing speed, and improving sustainability. Collaboration does not work without trust. Our passion for collaboration has carried us through the challenges of establishing an environment of trust, where competitors feel comfortable sharing warehousing and transportation assets. We have worked hard to build processes and systems that ensure that all parties share the benefits that collaboration delivers.
We are proud of the Partners who share our vision and were willing to travel the less certain path with us. They have seen the value of the ES3 model and have helped us grow the vision to new channels, services, and now, geographies. This is the time for the growth of a physical internet – a shared infrastructure that is open to all who are willing to participate respectfully. The physical internet is the way to simplify a world that is becoming increasingly complex. Collaboration creates scale that supports the building of better, stronger, and more reliable pathways to the consumer. We are entering a period of growth for those who can see past the way things have always been done and into the future. Ten years ago we did not understand how the internet would fundamentally change our world. Ten years from now we will be amazed at how the physical internet changed our supply chain.
If you combine collaboration and growth the answer will always be winning. Winning in the good sense of the word – where all parties share in the benefits and things are better than could be achieved individually.
This is our story. This is the journey we share with our Partners. Together we collaborate, grow, and win.
