Logistics technology leader Descartes System Group has recognized the achievements of Cory Home Delivery's MIS team with its Excellence and Innovation Award.

Acknowledging the launch of Cory's IT initiatives, the award underscores the industry's growing reliance on technology and identifies Cory's expanding commitment to logistics technology as a driving force in business. 

"Utilizing Descartes' On-Demand cloud software for route optimization and dispatching fleets is a value-added service focusing on movement of information," said Marin Dragojevic, Cory's chief information officer. "Today 60 percent of our fleets use the Descartes model."

The new technology creates a standardized flow of information, enabling Cory to use data in more immediate ways and create efficiencies. Monthly reports, for example, are now done weekly, and there is greater use of information.

"We are able to respond to what is happening more quickly than ever before.  The information hasn't changed, but the speed with which it is transmitted has," Marin said.

Patrick Cory, managing partner, said the company has invested in technology to improve the delivery experience.

The positive impact of Cory's commitment to the IT initiative is affirmed by Managing Partner Patrick Cory.
