RALEIGH, N.C.

Client testimonials must expound on one or more of 10 characteristics of business performance, including “reliability, service excellence, value, knowledge of the customer’s business, problem-solving skills, an attitude of continuous improvement, solid after-sales support, a positive ‘can-do’ attitude, global reach, and strong leadership.”

As a technology partner, Open Sky Group offers award-winning implementation services, managed services, and advisory consulting services that help global supply chain companies make the most of their warehouse management, transportation management, and labor management system investments.

“Effective end-to-end supply chain management, including the last mile, hinges on seamless coordination and collaboration among partners,” said Ryan Basler, IT Application Specialist, TVS Supply Chain Solutions North America, and a satisfied Open Sky Group client. “Open Sky Group supports us in delivering high-quality service to our customers through continuous improvement facilitated by their upgrades, maintenance, and consulting services for WMS.”

“For twenty-two consecutive years, SupplyChainBrain has published our much-anticipated list of 100 Great Supply Chain Partners — a select group of companies whose customers recognize them for providing outstanding solutions and services,” said Brad Berger, SupplyChainBrain- Publisher. “
