CHICAGO, June 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Echo Global
Logistics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ECHO), a leading provider of
technology-enabled transportation management services, has been
named one of the Top 50 Third-Party Logistics Providers of 2020 by
Global Trade, a prominent logistics magazine and news
website focused on domestic and global expansion solutions. The
"Fantastic Fifty" list honors leading 3PLs that are transforming
the logistics industry through innovative technology while also
providing exceptional customer service and exceeding client
expectations. This is the eighth consecutive year Echo has received
this honor. Echo has earned this recognition every year since
Global Trade first introduced the distinction in 2013.
"It's an honor for Echo to once again be named a Top 50
Third-Party Logistics Provider by Global Trade," said
Doug Waggoner, Chairman of the Board
of Directors and Chief Executive Officer at Echo. "Our
industry-leading technology, top-notch logistics experts, and
best-in-class customer service set Echo apart in the industry. At
Echo, our clients and carrier partners get technology at their
fingertips and experts by their side when they want them."
As a Fortune 1000 3PL, Echo has created a robust network that
enables the company to move more than 16,000 shipments every day
for its more than 35,000 clients through its network of over 50,000
carrier partners. While providing exceptional service to its
clients, Echo leverages its industry expertise, proprietary
technology, vast access to capacity, and suite of multimodal
shipping solutions to ensure each client receives the
transportation management that's right for their business.
In Global Trade's "Fantastic Fifty" feature, the
publication highlights Echo's user-friendly, proprietary technology
that allows clients and carrier partners alike to "operate more
nimbly, adapting to changes with real-time visibility." For
example, EchoShip™, the company's self-service shipping platform,
consolidates and simplifies shipping by enabling clients to quote,
book, ship, track, and manage invoices. EchoDrive®, its web portal
and mobile app for carriers, provides real-time access to search,
bid, book, manage, track, and get paid on freight hauled for Echo.
Both are built on EchoAccelerator, a flexible and robust
proprietary architecture that supports shipper, carrier, and
managed transportation systems.
"At Echo, technology is integral to everything we do, and we're
continuously developing technological advancements that enable us
to serve shippers and carriers in new and better ways," said
