The Food Logistics Rock Stars Award recognizes influential individuals in the industry whose achievements, hard work, and vision have shaped the global cold food supply chain.
Atlanta, GA – February 10, 2025 – Logility, a leader in AI-first supply chain management software, announced today that Food Logistics, the only publication exclusively dedicated to covering the movement of product through the global cold food supply chain, named Allan Dow, President and CEO as one of the winners of this year’s Rock Stars of the Supply Chain award. This award recognizes influential individuals in the industry whose achievements, hard work, and vision have shaped the global cold food supply chain. This recognition is for the Leaders in Excellence category.
“From cargo fraud and Mother Nature to ever-changing food safety regulations and a new Presidential Administration that could bring an increase in tariffs, cost of goods, and more, many of today’s supply chain leaders are faced with a number of challenges. But it’s their resilience, hard work, innovation, and attention to quality that separates these rock stars from everyone else. Every year, this award puts a spotlight on the best of the best in the cold chain industry,” says Marina Mayer, editor-in-chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive.
Dow, a repeat Rockstar award recipient, is focused on helping enterprises navigate the unprecedented rates of change and disruption across their operations with a focus on digital transformation in supply chain management utilizing an AI-first approach.
“Workforce challenges, unpredictable markets, data volume, silos, and the complexity of supply chain analysis underscore the urgent need for transformative use of artificial intelligence. I am humbled to lead a team dedicated to making the lives of our clients and those they serve better through advanced AI-first solutions, including generative AI.” says Allan Dow, President and CEO of Logility.
Under Dow’s leadership, Logility recognizes that generic generative AI solutions are not well-suited for supply chain analyses because they lack the deep understanding of complex supply chain connections and data sources necessary for tailored insights that drive operational excellence and strategic foresight. Significant energy has been invested into building an embedded supply chain ontology (a means of mapping concepts and the relations between them) into Logility’s Expert Advisor to overcome this nuance challenge. Developing a key set of understandings within the Logility solution focused on how supply chain data interrelate with one another allows for more efficacy and avoids hallucinations that can happen in a more generic generative AI solution.
Recipients of this year’s award will be profiled in Food Logistics’ Jan/Feb 2025 print issue and at http://www.FoodLogistics.com.
