A presentation from Roambee, “Global Reusable Packaging Supplier Transforms Supply Chain with Roambee's AI-Driven Asset Intelligence,” was recently named the winner of the 2023 Supply Chain Innovation Award at the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) Edge 2023 Conference in Kissimmee, Florida.

Roambee's presentation emphasized how the supply chain visibility company changed the operations of one of the world's largest suppliers of reusable packaging containers (RPC), operating in over 50 countries. Roambee’s AI-powered “grouped” sensor-driven innovation helped the company meet its unit cost economics, resulting in multi-million-dollar boosts across its more than 350 million RPCs.

The Supply Chain Innovation Award (SCIA) program is a competition recognizing teams that have demonstrated excellence and returns on investment (ROI) when faced with supply chain challenges.

Every year, a panel of reviewers, consisting of members of CSCMP's Research Strategies Committee (RSC) and the editorial board of SupplyChainBrain, review and select submissions of "Innovation in Action" from the top innovative teams who become the finalists that present their cases at CSCMP’s EDGE Conference.

For the 2023 SCIA, CSCMP and SupplyChainBrain received over 25 case studies, which were reviewed by the SCIA Evaluation Committee, including the SupplyChainBrain editorial team, and eventually narrowed down to four finalists. The finalists presented their case studies to the committee at the 2023 Edge Conference held from October 1 to October 4.
