One of the main challenges that the company has faced during its history has been to obtain the first opportunity to compete and prove its capabilities to potential clients of multinational companies. However, once these companies experience Prime Air’s their services, they become frequent customers and strategic allies in their supply chain.
“Planning and measurement are essential at Prime Air. That is why we carefully evaluate the strategies and their results to detect new opportunities and make better decisions,” said Steven Vincent, Director of Business Development at Prime Air. “To carry out this continuous evaluation process, we are governed by key performance indicators (KPI).”

The company’s vision for the future involves focusing on continuing to be the strongest link in the supply chain of its clients for their transportation needs within and outside of Puerto Rico.
Technology and innovation have been an integral part of the communication and transparency processes at all stages of cargo handling, both in tracking, transportation and controlled temperature storage in which we have 24/7 monitoring, through a application that allows visibility in real time,” added Steven Vincent.
