The FEG-SCBN Strategic Partner Ally-ship

stands out from traditional logistics companies in several key ways:

***********************

• Advanced Technology Infusion: FEG,  a IBM-Partner Plus-Strategic Partner,  leverages IBM’s SCBN hybrid cloud and AI cutting-edge technologies. This allows for more efficient and data-driven decision making compared to traditional logistics companies that may rely more on manual processes.

• SCBN Optimization: FEG is classified as a 5PL (Fifth Party Logistics), U.S. Black Chambers Inc. certified partner provider because it specializes in optimizing the entire SCBN Best Valued Quote Process through advanced technology and strategic SMaRTi™ infusion.

• Strategic Management and Research Technology infusion (SMaRTi™): This approach integrates strategic management with research technology, enabling FEG to integrate a Best Value Quote Process - measurable, quantifiable, and accountable value.

• 5PL Services: While traditional logistics companies often operate as third-party (3PL) or fourth-party logistics (4PL) providers, FEG operates as a fifth-party logistics (5PL) provider. This means they manage and infuse a Best Value Quote and Invoicing process within the entire SCBN, offering a higher level of coordination and infrastructure optimization.

Traditional logistics companies might focus more on regional or national services.

(item-per -item, qty-for -qty, dollar-per-dollar costs), with fiduciary accountability for SCBN TP's trading and shareholders. 

• Sustainability Initiatives: Many modern logistics companies, including FEG, are increasingly focusing on sustainability. They implement ecofriendly practices and technologies to reduce their carbon footprint,

which might not be as prevalent in traditional logistics companies.

ensuring that these initiatives enhance overall business performance.
