“This award is about recognizing the relationships we have with customers and the impact we’re making on their business,” says T.J. Srinivasaraj, vice president of South Asia at C.H. Robinson. “We often hear that navigating logistics in India can be challenging. Our local expertise is a differentiator and eases that process for our customers.”

C.H. Robinson’s technology solution was key to winning this award. With Navisphere®, C.H. Robinson’s single instance global technology platform, companies can track and trace their shipments in real time, gaining true global supply chain visibility. C.H. Robinson is one of the only 3PLs offering global technology in the region.

Robinson, we’re the eyes and ears on the ground for our customers. We can show them what’s happening with their shipments in real time using Navisphere®, ultimately making their job easier.”
