Nearly 500 food and drink consumer goods colleagues attended the IGD Awards to celebrate the industry achievements over the last 12 months.
Mushtaque Ahmed, chief operating officer at JJ Foodservice, said: "This is an incredible achievement for our team – we would like to thank the judges and everyone involved in developing the Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) feature, which has helped to dramatically improve service for our customers."
JJ Foodservice received the accolade for its supply chain excellence that helped its business grow, become more efficient and enhance team capabilities.
Tim Murray, director at Newton Europe, added: “In judging this award, we were looking for a team that put customers first and found innovative solutions to traditional issues within the supply chain.
“JJ Foodservice demonstrated both of these qualities in abundance, alongside dedicated teamwork and a real passion for its service and pride in the improvements it has made.
"Its delivery window has shrunk from four hours to as little as 10 minutes, allowing their customers to better plan their time. It’s also meant customers are ready and waiting when the JJ Foodservice vehicle arrives, enabling each driver to deliver an extra drop per day.
"We were particularly impressed with the team’s ability to innovate and collaborate, at the same time as working hard to overcome plenty of potential barriers to their product’s success.”
