Earlier this year, ALC Logistics announced the consolidation of its TMS offering under new brand Alchemy to emphasize the produce and perishable industry’s transportation needs.
Under its parent Allen Lund Company, ALC Logistics offers more than 40 years of produce transportation expertise, designing a software specifically for the industry it serves. According to Vice President Kenny Lund, the name was inspired by the medieval science’s hope to turn something that isn't valuable into something that is.
The result is a suite of software to help you with your transportation—everything from visibility and cost controls to payments to the carriers, helping companies as they manage so many more data points with their transportation.

Timing. The Sponsor is the official time-keeper for the Quiz, of which all decisions are final. The timing aspect of the Quiz is based on the time recorded between when a question is displayed and when it is answered by a Participant during a Quiz. The time between each question, i.e., the time it takes the question page to load, is not counted toward a Participant’s quiz time or score. Time is measured in microseconds. 1000 microseconds = 1 millisecond. Once a Quiz is started, timing begins and the Participant cannot start over, go back, or request a new Quiz. Each Participant may take each Quiz only once.
Quiz Submissions. The Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, illegible, stolen, incomplete, invalid, unintelligible, misdirected, technically corrupted or garbled entries, which will be disqualified, or for problems of any kind whether mechanical, human or electronic, including, but not limited to, bugs or malfunctions, that Participant may encounter when participating in the Quiz.

Participants are prohibited from using multiple subscriber email addresses to participate in Quiz sessions. Participants found to be in violation of this rule will be banned from participation in any future Quiz.
Scoring: Each Participant’s Score on the Quiz is based on the total time used to complete the Quiz session and the number of correctly answered Quiz questions. Participants with zero correct answers will make the leaderboard and will be awarded 1,250 ‘points’, minus the total time duration, in seconds, multiplied by 0.25. If the duration exceeds the initial amount awarded, the user will receive 0 total points (1250 - (duration * 0.25)) or (0). Otherwise, Participants are awarded 2,500 points for each question answered correctly minus the session duration, in seconds, multiplied by 2.5 ((score * 2500) - (duration * 2.50)).
Winner Selection: The Participant(s) with the highest score on a Quiz will be the Winner(s). In the event that multiple Participants obtain identical high scores, Winners will be randomly selected by the Sponsor from the pool of the highest scoring Participants.
