WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 28, 2017--
ModusLink Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of ModusLink
Global Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: MLNK), a global, omni-channel
technology and fulfillment provider, announced today that Gartner, Inc.,
the leading provider of research and analysis on the global information
technology industry, has included the Company in its July 2017 report,
The Gartner Digital Commerce Vendor Guide, 2017. ModusLink was
identified as a sample vendor in the Warehousing, Logistics and
Fulfillment Service Provider category.
According to Gartner, "Third-party warehousing, logistics and
fulfillment service providers perform one or more physical logistics
functions as a fee-based service on behalf of their digital commerce
clients. Their services typically include inventory management;
warehousing, distribution and customer order fulfillment; and
transportation and shipping management. For digital commerce companies
operating globally, they include international logistics management,
freight forwarding and customer brokerage. Several logistics service
providers also offer extended services, including customer service call
center operations, returns and repair processing, assembly and
kitting, packaging, postponement, shipment consolidation, and
cross-docking."
As the supply chain and logistics industries move toward a smarter and
more connected world, it's becoming paramount for companies to digitize
in order to optimize and grow their business. ModusLink has become a
leading fulfillment provider due to its decades of physical supply chain
expertise combined with its digital commerce and data offerings that
modern retailers and manufacturers require. The Company has invested
vigorously in technology and automation, expanding its suite of
solutions to help clients manage their end-to-end supply chain to drive
savings, generate growth and improve overall consumer satisfaction. With
an overarching focus on delivering an efficient and seamless experience
to the end customer, ModusLink manages every facet of the fulfillment
process--from traditional supply chain activities such as pick, pack and
ship and demand planning services to simplifying the returns process. By
integrating the physical supply chain with digital commerce
capabilities, ModusLink removes the complexities and risk that
e-commerce brings and enables companies to quickly expand into new
regions or countries.
“As a best-in-class service providing end-to-end supply chain solutions,
we believe our inclusion as a representative vendor in Gartner's Digital
Commerce Market Guide validates why brands with complex supply chain
needs rely on ModusLink's proven expertise and technical solutions,”
said Hans Veenendaal, Chief Commercial Officer, ModusLink. “In our
industry, this continued shift toward digitalization, along with the
proliferation of smart devices and the global growth around the Internet
of Things (“IOT”), presents new opportunities for engaging with
customers. It also provides the ability to curate, manage and leverage
data that organizations can turn into actionable knowledge to grow their
businesses. Our relentless focus on delivering a comprehensive
end-to-end supply chain--including digital supply chain solutions and
analytics--provides customers with the ability to expand their business,
both globally and digitally, while enhancing their overall value
proposition.”
