HOLLAND, Mich., Nov. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- LeanLogistics, a division of CHEP
and the leading provider of Web-native Transportation Management Systems
(TMS), announces that Nash Finch Company, the second-largest publicly-traded
wholesale food distributor in the US, has implemented LeanLogistics On-Demand
TMS(R) to centrally control and manage its inbound transportation operations.

logistics provider.

retailers and military commissaries in 31 states, the District of Columbia,
Europe, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Azores and Egypt. The Company also owns and
