New technology award supported by TWC

TWC has thrown its support behind a new award recognising digital innovation.

The data and insight specialists are sponsoring the Best Technology Initiative category at the Scottish Wholesale Achievers Awards, which are due to return in 2022.

The gong will reflect the way wholesalers north of the border are investing in digital and tech systems from online ordering and data capture systems through to systems that improve picking and business efficiencies.

Entrants will be invited to highlight their investment, innovation, and implementation through to best practice outcomes.

Nominees will be asked to give key performance indicators against the particular challenges they looked to solve through the mobilisation of technology and evidence how this has helped their business meet the challenges of today’s market.

“Scotland is renowned as a beacon when it comes to leading in innovation and technology having invented the telephone, television, penicillin, insulin and the steam engine,” said TWC Managing Director Tanya Pepin.

“And, we know that in the last two years, wholesalers in Scotland have increasingly woken up to the power of data and digital and are now breathing fresh innovation into their digital strategies alongside investment into new platforms and technical expertise.

“We’re inviting them to showcase features that are supporting best practice and talk about their innovation in this arena, as to how it is helping their businesses move with agility in the fast-changing and competitive marketplace that we are seeing today.”
