Brenda Hambleton, Chief Marketing & Strategy Officer at ES3, recently received the Pioneer Award at the Second International Physical Internet Conference in Paris, France. This award is given to an individual in recognition of the groundbreaking support he or she has provided of the Physical Internet initiative.
The Physical Internet provides a global framework for collaboration, enabling scale and cost-savings. Designed to incorporate learnings from how packaged bits of data flow on the internet, the Physical Internet connects logistics systems through shared resources, collaboratively handling, storing, and transporting goods. Inventory is stored close to end users, shortening response times and increasing service levels. All users leverage the same platform, reducing costs and infrastructure.
“I feel very honored to receive this award from the second annual Physical Internet Conference,” says Hambleton. “ES3 is a working example of the Physical Internet. Not only do we share resources to reduce waste and environmental impact, but we enable the Physical Internet by supporting speed and scale to serve our customers. Our Northeast mixing center is part of the backbone of this revolutionary initiative. We are excited that the third Physical Internet conference will be in Atlanta in June, 2016.”
