Merit Logistics Earns Multi-Year Services Contract with the Gordon Food Service's, Aberdeen, Maryland Distribution Center

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif., Feb. 06, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Merit Logistics, a national third-party services provider, has been awarded a new multi-year contract to provide logistics support at the Gordon Food Service distribution center in Aberdeen, Maryland. Merit will start managing the freight handling services for the facility starting February10, 2019.

One of the biggest differentiators that led to Merit earning the new account was its groundbreaking application MeriTrack Live, which provides live gate-to-gate and unloading tracking that offers clients greater visibility and transparency throughout the entire unloading process. The new application offers unparalleled visibility for clients by enabling them to track the unloading of every incoming shipment from the time it hits their docks all the way through breakdown and final completion. The end result is a more effective, more efficient and more transparent level of service.

As an independently owned and operated company, Merit has demonstrated the operational excellence, flexibility and responsiveness that today's leading retailers require in order to achieve peak performance in their distribution and supply chain. The company prides itself on its culture of continual improvement which translates into better-trained associates, higher productivity and ultimately, greater profitability for its clients.

"Top supply chain executives continually assess their distribution efficiencies, and at Merit, we couldn't agree more," says Cesar Scolari, Merit CEO. "In fact, we've built our reputation by constantly challenging ourselves to raise the bar on service excellence and MeriTrack Live is a great reflection of this commitment. We're very excited to be able to bring this innovative technology to Gordon Food Service's supply chain."

To ensure a seamless transition, Merit will bring in a professional implementation team as well as a Risk and Safety Manager to hire and train employees. Merit will also employ the company's industry-leading incentive plans as well as the most comprehensive, company-paid benefits in the business. These powerful programs give Merit a competitive advantage that allows the company to attract and retain extremely motivated and driven professionals.

According to SVP Vern Malpass, it's Merit's exceptional associates who truly make the biggest impact on the company's continued growth and success. "We never lose sight of the fact that our greatest resource is the high-caliber associates we hire," says Giuliany. "We truly value our people and that commitment helps produce excellent results for our clients as well."
