ORTEC Wins “Last Mile Solution Provider of the Year” in 2024 SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards Program

Annual awards program recognizes innovation in the global supply chain technology and logistics industry. This is the second consecutive year in which ORTEC has been selected for this honor.

ATLANTA, Georgia – ORTEC Americas, a global provider of leading end-to-end supply chain solutions developed specifically for the operational needs of manufacturers, retailers, and distributors, today announced it has received the SupplyTech Breakthrough Award in the “Last Mile Solution Provider of the Year” category. This is the second consecutive year in which ORTEC has been selected for this honor. Conducted by SupplyTech Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization, the annual awards program evaluates and recognizes standout technology companies, products and services in the supply chain technology and logistics industry around the globe.

ORTEC's Last Mile Delivery Solution leverages advanced optimization algorithms to efficiently plan and optimize delivery routes. By considering factors such as traffic patterns, delivery windows, vehicle capacities, and real-time data, the solution can dynamically adjust routes to minimize delivery times and costs while maximizing resource utilization. The solution also offers real-time visibility and tracking capabilities, allowing businesses to monitor the status of deliveries and provide customers with accurate ETAs. This level of transparency enhances customer satisfaction and enables proactive communication in the event of any delays or issues.


In addition, the company’s strategic partnerships with leading technology providers, transportation companies, and e-commerce platforms create a comprehensive ecosystem for last mile delivery that delivers seamless connectivity and interoperability, enabling businesses to tap into a broader range of resources and services. The solution is scalable and customizable, catering to the unique needs of businesses across different industries and geographies to deliver tailored solutions that align with specific business objectives.

“We’re proud to be recognized by SupplyTech Breakthrough for our combination of advanced optimization capabilities, real-time visibility, integrations, partnerships, and scalability,” stated Mat Witte, CCO of ORTEC Americas. “We will continue to design innovative, transformative solutions that drive efficiency, reliability, and customer satisfaction.”

“Traditional, legacy systems can’t keep up with businesses seeking to streamline their last mile operations. Whether it's a small local operation or a large enterprise with complex delivery requirements, we have developed a solution that can be tailored to accommodate varying business models, delivery constraints, and customer preferences,” said Jeff Bailey, CEO of ORTEC Americas.

The mission of the annual SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards program is to conduct the industry’s most comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the top technology companies, solutions and products in the supply chain and logistics industry today. This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from over 15 countries throughout the world.

“By providing end-to-end visibility into the delivery process, ORTEC helps businesses build trust and loyalty with their customers. Last mile delivery service is important for customers who want real-time updates and accurate delivery time windows. Companies that still rely on outdated systems for route planning, order management, and communication are falling behind in efficiency and customer trust,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards. “ORTEC's solution empowers businesses to take preemptive actions and optimize their last mile operations. Through a combination of innovative technology, strategic partnerships, and a customer-centric approach, ORTEC’s breakthrough solution is our pick for ‘Last Mile Solution Provider of the Year.’”
