PRISM Delivers for Girl Scouts of Northern California
You’re probably seeing Girl Scouts at stores in your community and around your neighborhood taking orders and delivering the Fall Nut products. But did you know that:
For more than 15 years, PRISM Logistics has served the distribution needs of the Girl Scouts of Northern California, working with vendors to systematize receipt, tracking and reporting, and with the Girl Scout council of Northern CA to deliver millions of boxes of cookies in the Spring and nuts in the Fall, enabling troops throughout 19 Northern CA counties to flawlessly deliver to customers, reward achievements and contribute to their communities.

Jere sat down with Supply Chain Brain’s executive editor, Bob Bowman, for a conversation about training and retaining employees, and introducing new generations into the logistics industry. The interview, conducted at the 2013 Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) Annual Global Conference in Denver, CO is also available in video format onhttp://www.supplychainbrain.com.
