Release
Services Inc. (RSI) was established as a pilot project with Russell
A. Farrow Limited, Livingston International and PBB Global Logistics
combining forces to provide an avenue to expedite the release of goods
in an efficient and cost effective manner. The project has been operating
for the past five months at the port of Sarnia, Ontario.
In spite of PBB Global Logistics decision to leave the project, Russell
A. Farrow Limited and Livingston International have agreed the benefits
outweigh some of the challenges presented.
|
The
ultimate goal of RSI is to eliminate, to the extent possible, the
need for drivers to come in to the office. Ongoing talks with the
front line staff and drivers together with customer feedback will
help the company to meet this goal. With the success of the project
at the Sarnia location, the partners have announced that RSI will
expand to Lansdowne, Ontario, Niagara Falls, Ontario and Coutts, Alberta.

for more effective interaction with them.
