Written by shipsta | Mar 22, 2022 8:47:46 AM

We're thrilled to be shortlisted for the Procurement Technology Provider Award at the World Procurement Awards 2022! 

The awards, organized by Procurement Leaders, brings the leading companies in the logistics and procurement sector together every year. It's basically the Oscars of our industry, so we're delighted to be nominated alongside impressive shippers and high-tech solutions. 

How did we get here? SHIPSTA's platform integrates solutions that are ground-breaking in the freight market, but this nomination would never have been possible without the testimony and recognition of our customer Holcim. 

Holcim & SHIPSTA partnership: A case study of procurement innovation

The Swiss multinational group Holcim started using SHIPSTA to achieve full supply chain visibility and scale transparency across all their markets and business segments. After a year of partnership, they've integrated SHIPSTA's platform for regular tenders as well as for spot tenders in 20 countries across all of their product lines. 

They partnered with us for the awards, working with us to provide a detailed case study on how we have innovated their freight procurement and management processes.

Here's a snapshot of what they had to say: 

“Thanks to SHIPSTA, we have reduced our logistics cost significantly on the tendered freight volume. We are managing our freight procurement more effectively and efficiently. Our teams are now able to focus on the negotiation process and operate more strategically” - Alexander Scheld, Global Head of Logistics at Holcim. 

The awards ceremony in London on June 15th 

The big day is just around the corner! The winners will be crowned at a prestigious black-tie ceremony in London at the Intercontinental Hotel at the O2 Arena. We can't wait to attend alongside the other nominees and outstanding jury! 

Keeping our fingers crossed for London!
