Dallas, TX—September 22, 2021—Axele, LLC, a Transportation Management System (TMS) company, announces that its client Amanda Schuier, SVP of Quality Transport, has received the Supply & Demand Chain Executive Women in Supply Chain award.

“These women are just absolutely amazing in so many ways. They’ve re-tooled, re-innovated and revamped how the world sees the supply chain and logistics industry. They’ve paved the way for future female supply chain leaders to become a part of an industry that matters. Because women in the supply chain matter. And, some of these women are young, which means, they’re just getting started,” says Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief of Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Food Logistics. “I’m honored to recognize and celebrate the achievements of so many female supply chain leaders.”


“We are so thrilled that Amanda has been named to this prestigious award,” said Belinda Rueffer, Director of Marketing, Axele, LLC. “When she joined Quality Transport, she searched for a TMS that would allow the company to compete effectively against bigger fleets. She found that in the Axele TMS. Now she can see how the company is progressing against revenue goals with a heads-up dashboard and knows which drivers have available hours of service because of Axele’s integration with ELDs and load boards. Axele is our one-stop-shop for everything we need to run an efficient and profitable operation.”
