Tri-Ad International Canada Accredited Best in Class Freight Forwarder by Global Institute of Logistics
(PRWEB) March 07, 2017 -- In identifying Tri-Ad as Best in Class, the Institute is recognizing the pioneering work in white glove logistics services at the company under the stewardship of Linda Collier, its founder and President. White glove service is one of the supply chain’s most complex specialty areas, encompassing everything from first- and final-mile value-added services, to delicate or high-value product handling. The White Glove Smart Courier program developed at the company demonstrates the unique value creation that is achieved by skilled logisticians in response increasing complexity in supply chains.
The specific application of the White Glove Smart Courier concept that was evaluated by GIL was the solution developed for the Canadian banking sector. Within the Canadian market there are 6 plus global Banks, each with a demand for specialized White Glove services. Triad developed a high security process to remove assets, protect the data information stored on these assets, and show full traceability to destruction and/or data wiping.
To achieve this objective Tri-ad upskilled its driver workforce to perform pre-inspection of goods, and assembly/commissioning on-site thereby replacing the need and high cost for on-site technicians.
Such has been the success of the program, Tri-ad performs these services throughout Canada, the United States, and the Caribbean at the rate of 10,000 devices per month.
Linda M. Collier, CEO and Founder of Toronto based Tri-Ad, will join the GIL Board of Advisors. The Board provides GIL support with strategic and technical advice, resource mobilization and promotion and outreach and Linda's appointment reflects GILs ambition to broaden its subject matter knowledge of the global independent freight forwarding sector.
Linda will work closely with the Institute on a number of initiatives, the most prominent of which will be the convening and Chairing of the Institutes first global women leaders in logistics council which is being established to reflect the growing influence of women at C level in global logistics.
