Steve Hicks, Contract Logistics Director North Europe, for Noatum Logistics. “Noatum’s distribution capability integrates with our International supply Chain (ISC) product to provide customers with a true end-to-end supply chain solution.”
“Purchase order, vendor and freight management, segues into contract logistics and eCommerce solutions, with full visibility and granular reporting.”
