Breakthrough Named 2024 Top Software & Tech Provider for Innovation in Transportation

Breakthrough’s RFP Service honored for revolutionizing procurement events and empowering shippers to achieve cost savings.

Green Bay, Wis., Dec 6, 2024 — Breakthrough, a leading provider of sustainable fuel and freight solutions for shippers, has been named among the 2024 Top Software & Tech solutions according to Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive. Breakthrough’s comprehensive Transportation RFP Service was recognized in the Supply Chain Visibility Solutions category for driving efficiencies in the RFP process.

Breakthrough’s RFP Service leverages advanced data analytics and deep market insights to inform pre, during and post-event RFP frameworks for shippers. The service is built on Breakthrough’s clean and robust dataset encompassing over $28 billion in transportation spend and helps shippers streamline and optimize the RFP process from start to finish. The service enables shippers to save on costs, improve network efficiency, and make informed decisions rooted in transparency, sustainability and performance.

“Our RFP Service empowers shippers with the insights they need to navigate the ever-evolving supply chain,” said John Teggart, President of Breakthrough. “Shippers no longer need to hypothesize in order to make transportation decisions; now they can make informed decisions based on real and accurate data. Winning this award is a testament to our commitment to transforming transportation procurement.”

In a recent example, Shearer’s Foods leveraged the service for an extensive RFP, involving over 500 lanes and 50 carriers. By identifying the highest-performing carriers, Shearer’s Foods streamlined its network, resulting in 10% cost savings, improved service reliability, and strategic alignment for a newly acquired business unit. Three weeks post-RFP, Shearer’s compliance improved by 5% year-over-year, and since going live, Shearer’s increased its volume by 16%.

Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive, adds, “automation, sustainability, smart technology, supply chain optimization and risk management were the major themes of this year’s new software and technology solutions. These new products and enhancements are upping the ante in modernizing how product moves through the chain, and I appreciate everything this year’s winners do to ensure the safety, security and sustainability of our supply chains.”
