This prestigious honor is a testament of our ongoing efforts to utilize innovative technologies and processes to create positive business performance,” commented Randy Witt, Director of IT, RTI. “One such example, and part of the reason for our selection, was our decision to revamp how we do our distribution scheduling. We selected ORTEC’s forecasting and routing software to help us with this initiative and it has contributed to our reduced distribution costs and, even more importantly, improvements in our customer service performance.”
“We congratulate RTI, a long time ORTEC customer, on its receipt of this coveted award,” said Don Addington, ORTEC’s President of the Americas. “RTI and its team of talented, innovative employees set a great example for other businesses. We are thrilled to see them identified as the technological leader we know them to be.”
