The newly launched APICS Certified in Logistics, Transportation, and Distribution credential program is designed to set the global standard for logistics best practices and aims to elevate knowledge and skills in logistics, transportation and distribution practitioners.

APICS, the professional association for supply-chain management, has entered into a strategic partnership with Software AG.

APICS and American Society of Transportation and Logistics (AST&L) announced that the boards of directors of both organizations have approved an agreement under which AST&L will merge with APICS upon ratification by an AST&L member vote.
