YOR Health Expands Internationally: A New Era Dawns in Nutrition and Healthy Living

    PROVO, UT, February 27, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Access Technology Solutions (ATS) is announcing a global partnership with YOR Health, a provider of products that enrich its customers' health and wellness. ATS' international "sell and ship" solution will help the premium nutrition and healthy living brand spread its message of health and 360 degree fitness to markets where demand for wellness products is growing quickly.

In January, ATS launched YOR Health's international operations into both Switzerland and Canada in just two weeks. Switzerland is the leading market for YOR Health outside of North America, where both Mexico and Canada have proven to be top cross-border destinations for the company's suite of essential health, fitness, energy and weight management products.

The build-out of YOR Health's second phase of international expansion -- into seven top tier global destinations that include Belgium, The Czech Republic, France, Ireland, Singapore, Thailand and Australia -- took only two additional weeks. ATS, which last year added dedicated shipping lanes into China and Canada, has already significantly reduced international shipping costs for YOR Health's distributors. Before selecting ATS to be its premier international expansion partner, YOR Health projected its international shipping costs to be much higher based on the common carriers' rates that had built into its international expansion business model.

ATS, which has quietly become one of the direct selling industry's top providers of international logistic solutions and technology services, is able to deliver low-cost express shipping due to the impressive volume of goods it moves daily into the fastest-growing global markets across Europe throughout Asia, proprietary shipping lanes that include its new China channel as well as its long-established, high-volume Japanese, South Korean and Indonesian shipping operations. ATS typically reduces international shipping costs anywhere from 40% to 70% compared to large common carriers.

"We're elated to announce our partnership with YOR Health. Our international team really welcomes the opportunity to work on such a well-thought out and well-executed global sales program," said Chris Boyle, ATS' President and CEO. "YOR Health is a great example of how ATS' past decade of investment in developing shipping and logistics relationships around the world is really paying off for leading brands in the direct selling industry. When a firm like YOR Health succeeds through its hard work and commitment, we all win. It really makes one feel good to be part of their global growth story."

YOR Health provides a balanced, holistic means for health and wellness-minded people all around the world to dramatically improve their overall happiness and well-being. ATS delivers a well-rounded solution that lets leading consumer goods and direct-to-consumer brands manage both the front-end and back-end of the product distribution lifecycle. ATS' platform has introduced new efficiencies that not only speed up delivery of YOR Health's product to international destinations, but have also improved business efficiencies. For instance, ATS' invoicing methodology allows YOR Health and its international distributors to download invoices and other documentation in .csv files for easier integration with internal accounting processes.

"Although our low cost of international shipping was how the YOR Health team found out about us via the industry grapevine, its executives quickly realized that our global team's ability to serve as a 'one-stop-shop' for international sales, distribution and shipping services was an even bigger long-term value," continued ATS CEO Boyle. "It's going to exciting to watch how fast YOR Health improves its international sales by using our web services commerce platform, expedited shipping and order tracking. Their growth reminds me of our own growth over the past decade."

"In uncertain times such as these, YOR Health believes that innovation, integrity and leadership will lead us all to the next era of prosperity. And our partnership with ATS really reflects our way of thinking," said Co-Founder, Dennis Wong. "ATS is an innovator and a trusted leader in the international commerce arena. We see this partnership as two purpose-driven companies enthusiastically working side-by-side to open doors of opportunity for health and wellness-minded communities around the globe."

In less than a decade, ATS has grown into a hybrid software and global logistics company that now helps direct sellers and ecommerce brands sell and ship to markets all around the world. By building strong, trusted relationships with global logistics firms, customs brokers and local delivery agents, ATS is able to bypass cross-border bottlenecks and offer significantly lower international shipping costs than well-known domestic U.S. shippers.

YOR Health is more than just a company that sells health products - it is a movement; a new era in nutrition and healthier living characterized by passionate individuals discovering that there is more to exceptional health than being in shape. It's about the abundant joy, peak awareness, ultimate performance, and celebration that comes with feeling satisfied with your life. From being able to spend quality time with loved ones and enjoying fulfilling workdays, to feeling good about who you are, what you do, and how you look. Spreading that message of exceptional health & wealth is what YOR Health is all about.

The YOR Health difference in quality begins with the philosophy that you are what you absorb. We believe in order for our products to be of the highest caliber, they must be based on science, and proven effective by results you can see and feel. We formulate our products with proprietary Enzyme Delivery Systems to guarantee maximum absorption and effectiveness.
