Leading food business magazine lists top technology and solution providers

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 15, 2010- PeopleNet® (www.peoplenetonline.com), the leading provider of innovative and integrated onboard computing and mobile communications systems for effective fleet management, today announced that it has once again been named to Food Logistics' FL100, which is featured in the magazine's November/December 2010 issue. This is the seventh-annual listing of 100 technology and solution providers that help grocery and foodservice distributors and manufacturers reach their business goals. This year, the magazine focused the theme on bouncing back through tough economic times with technology.

"Despite the harsh environment, the past year has seen a number of food and beverage companies implementing technology solutions-especially transportation management and warehouse management systems-where they can see a quick ROI," says Katherine Doherty, editor-in-chief of Food Logistics magazine. "Many of our FL100 recipients report that the food industry is still a strong vertical for them-in fact, it's one of the few markets that they are actually seeing any growth."

Commenting on its seventh consecutive FL100 distinction, PeopleNet CEO Ron Konezny said, "The PeopleNet team takes great pride in offering innovative products and services that help our customers reduce costs and improve operational efficiency for fleet operators. We are thrilled to receive recognition as a leading technology innovator by the premiere food and beverage industry publication."

The FL100 listing provides a guide for decision-making grocery and foodservice distribution and manufacturing executives. After receiving nomination forms from end users and solution providers, the editorial staff culled through more than 140 submissions to compile this year's listing. Final recipients are featured in the November/December 2010 issue of Food Logistics, as well as online at www.foodlogistics.com.
