MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 15, 2011—– PeopleNet^®, a leading provider of innovative and integrated onboard computing and mobile communications systems for effective fleet management, today announced that for the eighth consecutive year it has been named to Food Logistics’ FL100, which is featured in the magazine’s November/December 2011 issue. Commenting on its distinction, PeopleNet President Brian McLaughlin said, "The PeopleNet team is very proud of our innovative products and services that help reduce costs and improve operational efficiency for the trucking industry.

Robinson, Descartes, TMW, Extendata, LeanLogistics, Manhattan Associates, MercuryGate, Roadnet Technologies, and Syntelic.”

“The passage of the FDA’s landmark Food Safety and Modernization Act puts increased pressure on the entire food and beverage sector to improve safety and traceability throughout the supply chain. In addition, the ongoing globalization of food supply chains demands closer collaboration with suppliers and enhanced visibility from farm to fork,” noted Lara L. Sowinski, editor-in-chief at Food Logistics. “Technology is a powerful tool that can ensure compliance, mitigate risk, and serve as a market differentiator in today’s highly competitive environment.”
