Leadership Insights: Uniquely Qualified for U.S. and Canada

For businesses looking to expand, Canada provides abundant possibilities. Whether a business is looking to grow sales for a new consumer base, improve their speed to market with existing customers, or reevaluate their inventory storage strategy, Canada can be an exciting source of growth and opportunity. 

For U.S. businesses that already ship to Canada or are looking to expand: don’t make it harder than it needs to be and choose a shipping partner that can navigate the evolving consumer landscape in both markets. 

At Purolator International, we specialize in innovative solutions for shipping between the United States and Canada, with extensive experience in cross-border logistics. It is our core business. Other carriers may provide services to Canada but it is a secondary offering. 

Businesses should look for the following when identifying the right logistics provider:  

• Scope of service: A logistics provider offers a wide range of services, so if they are pressuring you to make adaptations, it’s an indication they aren’t qualified to meet your needs. 

• Technology: To ensure an expedited onboarding process for a flexible solution, logistics providers should own customized technology solutions that integrate directly with customers’ internal systems. 

• Expedited services: Expedited or “mission critical” services can be crucial for deliveries in Canada to remote regions, which lack access to major highway networks.  

• Experience: There is no substitute for experience. And with so many providers to choose from, it’s essential to carefully research a provider’s documented success in the desired market and one that will understand the nuances of your industry.  

• Customization and collaboration: Seek out a provider that can serve as a true partner with a mutual understanding of your business objectives, priorities, and needs.  

Purolator is a leading provider of courier and freight solutions with a dedicated network for greater efficiency, visibility and minimized risk. As the company’s U.S. subsidiary, we maintain roughly 15 processing centers near the border to allow shipments to enter final delivery at geographically ideal locations.  

As a result, we have unique access to networks for courier, parcel and less than truckload (LTL) – to offer customers the best possible solutions to, from and within Canada. 

The key to expanding your business in every region of Canada is to partner with a logistics company that has a high degree of flexibility and a range of capabilities. That combination, along with Canadian expertise, allows you to engineer the optimal solution for your company’s requirements.
