strategy provides supply chain solution orchestration, powered by
our integration platform, to mix and match various supply chain
services, partners and technologies that best meet each customer’s
unique needs,” said Eric Rempel, Chief Innovation Officer of

shipper as they orchestrate their entire supply chain, leading to
measurable enhancements and setting the stage for future
innovations."
Key highlights of ATD and Redwood’s partnership include:
