Purolator Courier Ltd., one of Canada's largest courier companies, has chosen the Carrier Logistics’ FACTS system to support the growth of its new freight division, Purolator Freight.

FACTS is a total freight management system developed by Carrier Logistics (CLI), a Tarrytown, New York-based transportation systems consultant and technology developer. The system will give Purolator Freight employees greater accessibility to information in real time. By providing improved line-of-sight in real time and a lean communication flow, the system will enable employees to reap the benefits of sharper decision-making and more accurate assessments of the business.
"The system will give Purolator Freight's customers greater access to billing, administrative, and operating information in real time," said Joe Guimond, vice president and general manager of Purolator Freight. FACTS, based on advanced open architecture, offers LTL and parcel delivery carriers a low-cost of ownership by reducing administrative costs for rating, billing and dispatch.
A major component of the new system will be the new Purolator Freight web site (www.purolatorfreight.com) where information on shipments will be powered by the FACTS system. The web site will feature the capability to trace shipments, view freight charges, retrieve images, generate pickup requests and more.
