progress and challenges in
developing world and emerg-
ing markets to help customers
see where they should invest
money and resources – and
advises that the logistics in-
dustry is the best indicator to
where the next big develop-
ments will be. “The culture of
the company, being an orga-
nization with its roots in the
emerging market place that
have had to deal with a contin-
ually evolving environment, is
engrained in the organization.
Because we’re a relatively
young brand, we have a long
legacy with the various orga-
nizations that are part of the
mergers and acquisitions that
our parent company formed
several years ago. With that
you really need to be unique
and visible in the market place
for our customers.” Agility is
ready to expand into Africa,
which is said to be the next
Asia, and the continent is in
need of infrastructure and
supply chain companies that
will help them deal with vol-
umes.
So the question remains,
what’s next on the already
soaring enterprises business
agenda? Agility plans on in-
vesting millions in their own
IT system to drive their own
destiny. Community outreach
also remains a goal for the
corporation, as they handle
all the logistics for the Samar-
itans Purse “pack a shoebox”
initiative. The establishment
carries on its altruistic prac-
tices by engaging with the
disaster recovery team with
the United Nations, where
they go into a disaster area as
one of the first responders to
re-establish the logistics in-
frastructure. “Agility Canada
has an extremely loyal cus-
tomer and employee base and
our success as a company is
attributed to their continued
support,” says Mike. “The or-
ganization wouldn’t be suc-
cessful if we didn’t have their
support… the key focus for us
has always been our custom-
ers and we look forward to
supporting them in 2014.”
Agility should be one of the
big players of the future, and
Canada, specifically, will re-
main a strong player in the
world’s economy especially
because of its vast resources
and global relations -- Agility
will only drive Canada’s inno-
vative optimization process.
