“A layered program is key in our risk management success within
our supply chain,” said John Tabor, senior vice president for NRS.
“It has become more than cargo crime prevention for us. It’s just
as much about a transparent and seamless experience for our
clients. Being able to go wide and not just deep within our
supply-chain risk management program is why we are taking this
exciting leap with ALTO.”
The supply-chain security programs in place at NRS have been
recognized as among some of the most advanced in the industry by
law enforcement and government agencies nationwide. Tabor added,
“We are optimistic that our national footprint and focus in
supply-chain security along with ALTO’s ability to give us a
real-time, big view of our supply-chain risks will not only benefit
us but the entire industry as we progress with our project and
mutual contributions. This new strategic alliance will lead to a
more controlled and innovative view while securing supply chains
for NRS customers.”
The partnership between NRS and ALTO is a significant step as
ALTO opens operations in North America after more than a decade
serving retailers and shippers in Latin America and Spain with
proven success. “We are privileged to have NRS as our strategic
partner given their award-winning programs in the supply-chain
security arena. We are also aware of NRS’s presence and command in
galvanizing some of the industry transportation security programs
for some of the nation’s largest retailers,” said Maurizio
Scrofani, CCSP,LPC, vice president of supply-chain security and
intelligence for ALTO US.
ALTO’s supply-chain risk management solution is called ALTO
AssuranceSM, a modular plug-and-play system that offers asset
protection and risk management professionals visibility and
compliance each step of the transit of goods to their stores. Using
a combination of innovative tools to ensure assets under care and
custody are at the right place, right time with accuracy, its
integration mechanisms allow for holistic risk assessment with
route review, tracking, and a robust audit library to provide
supply-chain and logistics managers all the information needed to
ensure controls are in place throughout the process. This
innovative approach is cloaked with a comprehensive business
intelligence platform that focuses on managing a multitude of risk
factors that reduces costs associated with delays, theft, and other
preventable incidents—results that add to retailers’ bottom line
from both expense reduction and enhanced operational
efficiency.
