San Francisco, CA, July 22, 2010 – Aravo, the leading provider of on-demand Supplier Information Management (SIM) software and services, today announced that it has been named to the 100 Great Supply Chain Partners list for 2010 after an extensive six-month online survey administered by Supply Chain Brain. Aravo will be recognized in the July issue of Supply Chain Brain and on www.SupplyChainBrain.com. The six-month survey polled senior level network, logistics and supply chain professionals, who were asked to nominate organizations whose technology, logistics, transportation, or consulting solutions have made a significant impact on their company's efficiency, customer service, and overall supply chain performance.
