Additionally, Brady established an information technology group within the company, which has developed several other software-based system applications that manage the entire process of transport logistics and supply chain management.

Brady’s clear vision of future growth for the company, which emphasizes identifying and satisfying the needs of SLG clients, has resulted in an average 42 percent annual revenue growth over the past five years.
