Press Release - Purolator USA Selects ViaSafe Inc. to Meet New ACI Requirements
Jericho, N.Y.—December 8, 2005—Purolator USA has teamed up with ViaSafe Inc. to implement a new e-cargo reporting system to comply with CBSA's second phase of ACI.
Purolator USA will use ViaSafe's ViaTrade services to electronically manage and deliver customs clearance information to brokers and government agencies. The Purolator-ViaSafe partnership will enable Purolator to comply with ACI's advanced cargo reporting requirements. ViaSafe's ViaTrade services will also provide Purolator with enhanced monitoring and tracking capabilities that will ensure a reduction of border delays and help assure on-time deliveries.
"We needed a reliable and stable process to deliver this vital trade data to the right place at the right time." says John Sweeney, VP of Service Quality, Purolator USA.
"Our clients expect that our transition to this new electronic reporting environment will be seamless and that they would have a smooth and uneventful border experience. Partnering with ViaSafe will ensure that we will be ready when the ACI requirements become mandatory," added Frank Jacketti, Air & Regulatory Manager, Purolator USA.
Oryst Dydynsky, President of ViaSafe International Trade Services, comments, "Electronic reporting will be the new normal for border processing. The United States is just months away from its own e-manifest requirements; this will make the U.S.-Canada border a mandatory electronic reporting environment." Dydynsky continues, “In this security-conscious world, moving data and documents has become as important as moving goods. Our goal is to work closely with Purolator to ensure full compliance with the new process."
