Schneider National has received the first-ever Innovator of the Year award from Kimberly-Clark.
Schneider earned this award for its innovative thinking and the assistance it provided in pioneering a transportation management system for Kimberly-Clark.

Recognizing that carriers would be an excellent resource to help distinguish itself in the supply chain piece of the marketplace, Kimberly-Clark opened the doors to its carriers for new and inventive thinking in its transportation sector. Carriers submitted groundbreaking ideas to aid Kimberly-Clark. Schneider not only delivered but also helped drive retail sales during 2007.

Schneider's award-winning thinking for Kimberly-Clark included developing a load convergence program, providing industry perspective for an economic value estimator, conducting a driver sensing survey and supplying project support for Kimberly-Clark's transportation management system. The results encompass streamlined direct-to-store product delivery and quicker time to shelf, greater retailer understanding into the correlation between on-time delivery and customer sales, and firsthand insight for supply chain process improvements at the manufacturing level.
