Appians President Mike Kositzky added, When forward looking companies like Cardinal invest in technology to help distinguish themselves and provide a more competitive advantage to their customers it makes a statement about their commitment to the market.   At Appian Logistics we have focused on putting together a suite of products that work well for the 3PL providers.  These guys are the experts so you know they have done their homework.
