At the very core of LBA Realty
is an understanding that
if our customers succeed, so do we.
Congratulations to
Prime Distribution Services, we are
committed to you and your success.
Some customers are interested
in working with Roadrunner for its
global capabilities and with Prime for
supply chain services. The size and
scope of Roadrunner allows Prime
to position itself both domestically
and
internationally.
Charlebois
anticipates future success because
of his company’s ability to deliver
services to any industry or industry
segment, which enhances efficiency
for prospective customers.
“We’re showing that through our
customers’ value proposition, we
bring optimal supply chain solutions
for anyone who needs it,” he said.
Prime was founded in 1990 as a
means to offer vendors an alternate
way to distribute to retailers. Its goal
was to provide those vendors with a
single point of distribution that could
incorporate warehousing, cross-
docking, packaging and multi-vendor
freight consolidation into a supply
chain.
The relationship with Roadrunner
began in 2011, and, Charlebois said.
Prime has remained at the forefront
of supply chain management – or
collaborative logistics – thanks to a history
as a consolidator that differentiates it from
other would-be competitors.
“We want to handle our customers’
entiresupplychain, including transportation
management,” he said. “That’s the core of
our business.”
Primeworks proactivelywith customers,
suppliers and retailers to design low-cost,
high service and easily visible supply chain
solutions. Many customers are small or medium-sized companies
doing large volumes of retail business, which places an emphasis on
distribution requirements. Charlebois said Prime aims to establish
a level of comfort to enable those customers to focus on their core
concerns.
What his company handles, he said, is ensuring shipments arrive
on time, at necessary frequency and with a manageable cost.
“At the heart of our success is our willingness to accommodate
customer requests. Through innovative problem solving and
collaboration, we have been able to build programs around our
customers’ needs,” Charlebois said. “At the same time, we provide
the highest level of service to the retail destinations.”
