ChemLogix LLC Establishes Blog To Provide Insights on Chemical Transportation & Logistics Issues
http://blog.chemlogix.com
ChemLogix LLC recently established the ChemLogix Chemical Transportation and Logistics Blog at http://blog.chemlogix.com to provide insights on topical issues regarding chemical transportation and logistics services while inviting commentary from the chemical logistics community. The goal of the web site is to open a forum of discussion that provides new perspectives on logistics challenges effecting chemical shippers.
“We are hoping to stimulate a vigorous exchange of contemporary ideas and positions within the chemical logistics community that will be both informational and beneficial to those engaged in our industry’s specific supply chain challenges” notes J. Stephen Hamilton, President & CEO, ChemLogix LLC.
The initial entry in the ChemLogix Chemical Transportation and Logistics Blog discusses the effects that current economic conditions are having upon the chemical industry and how transportation management technology serves as a means of lowering costs and improving service. “With capital funds tightening, it makes sense to turn to 3PLs to provide the logistics solutions and/or logistics service providers (LSPs) to supply the technological tools and professional services for logistics and supply chain optimization,” notes Hamilton.
ChemLogix invites comment to the full dialogue on this topic that can be viewed at http://blog.chemlogix.com. ChemLogix will periodically update the blog with commentary on new topics presented by various subject matter experts within its company. ChemLogix also invites the chemical logistics community to provide feedback and suggest topics of future discussion.
