For the second straight year, ADEC Innovations received the Excellence Award for Service Export during this year’s National Export Congress, organised by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

DTI again recognised ADEC Innovations and its significant contributions in the field of knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) and in the services outsourcing industry as a whole in 2019.

Co-founder and CFO Carol Esguerra, Executive Director for Industry Affairs Jeanette Carillo, and Marketing Director Dave Buenviaje received the recognition during the awarding ceremony held at the Philippine International Convention Centre.

Among the attendees were DTI secretary Ramon Lopez, Export Management Bureau Director Senen Perlada, and Philippine Exporters Confederation, Inc. (PHILEXPORT) President Sergio R. Ortiz-Luis, Jr.

Prior to the awarding ceremony, DTI officials and representatives from the public and private sectors discussed avenues and opportunities to drive exports through digital transformation with a series of panel discussions. As the panelists noted, many Filipino companies have yet to fully embrace true digital transformation despite expressing their interest in doing so.

Driving organisations towards digital transformation is at the core of ADEC Innovations and its services for more than two decades.

“Digitising physical assets and analyzing data is something we have been doing since we started as a BPO company,” Esguerra said.

Innovative services, like the solutions offered by ADEC Innovations, are essential in an increasingly digital world, according to Perlanan. “Companies have to adapt to digital transformation. Otherwise, they might be left behind,” Perlada said.

With this latest recognition, ADEC Innovations strengthens its position at the forefront of the KPO industry, and in the outsourcing industry as a whole.

This year’s Excellence Award for Service Export lauded companies that made exemplary contributions and exhibited excellence in their chosen fields.

Nominees were selected by their respective industry associations, with the winners determined through rigorous criteria.

Nominated by MAS Holdings (MAS), a leading manufacturer of intimate apparel, sports, swim and performance wear, CleanChain is a data management and communication tool designed to support and manage environmental and sustainability challenges throughout global supply chains. As part of its zero-toxic commitments, MAS needed a process and reporting system that provided inventory registration and management, usage tracking and dashboard views for each of their numerous facilities around the globe. After reviewing a number of different solutions, MAS selected CleanChain because it offered a number of unique features not offered by other software companies and allowed them to create the solutions their manual approach had not delivered. Launched in September 2016, CleanChain provides brands and retailers with a system for consolidating chemical and other supply chain data across the entire supply base. By using CleanChain, companies have the ability to engage with each other and work towards improving environmental, health and safety practices throughout their manufacturing processes, including eliminating the discharge of hazardous chemicals.

MAS has a larger vision to be zero-toxic in product, process and supply chain by 2025. Chemicals play a big part of our integrated strategy, where we have committed to take bold climate action, manage our footprint and support a thriving planet. CleanChain empowers us to know where and how we can make a positive impact.

“We are proud to have developed a tool that empowers brands, retailers and manufacturers to make more informed and responsible sourcing decisions,” said Robert A. Francisco, president, ADEC Innovations. “ADEC Innovations is committed to developing solutions that accelerate positive global impact. The continuing recognition of CleanChain is an encouraging sign that the industry shares those core values and is ready to prioritize sustainability.” The SDCE 100 is an annual list of 100 successful and innovative supply chain projects, spotlighting them for supply chain executives who are looking for new opportunities to drive improvement in their own operations. These projects show how supply chain solution and service providers help their customers and clients achieve supply chain excellence and prepare their supply chains for success. “First and foremost, we want to congratulate the winners of this year’s Top 100 for their successful and innovative projects, which serve as models to companies of all sizes for what is achievable in their supply chains,” says John Yuva, editor for Supply & Demand Chain Executive. “Regardless of company size, these projects are best-in-class examples of the types of efficiencies and bottom-line results that supply chain executives should be striving toward in their own operations. Our 2018 winners provide a roadmap for how to get there.” The CleanChain network has grown exponentially since its inception, helping companies reduce impacts in their supply chain and reach their corporate sustainability goals and milestones. Noted Sharika Senanayake, director environmental sustainability, MAS Holdings, “MAS has a larger vision to be zero-toxic in product, process and supply chain by 2025.
