One of Industry's Best Web Sites Gets Better
Fewer Clicks for More Productivity
DELANCO, N.J., July 24 / -- Ranked as one of the Top Two Web sites out of the 100 largest motor carriers in North America*, the Jevic web designers decided to improve on an already impressive site by launching a newly designed jevic.com, the company has announced.
Responding to customers' input, Jevic has completely redesigned its site to make it more visually appealing, improve the ease of use, and expand its functionality. The web site -- http://www.jevic.com/ -- went live the morning of July 24 after several months of testing by customers and account managers.
"We responded to our customers requests," says Peter Robinson, a spokesperson for the company. "What better way to improve and redesign an award winning site than by having the users tell you what to do?"
The new, secure site is easy on the eyes with expanded white space, and the most frequently used tracing function is readily available. There are also "Quick Links" to other popular functions such as Real Real-time Tracing, transit times, Pro Label request, pickup request, proactive tracking and forms. There is also proprietary back-office functionality that was designed in-house and is not available elsewhere in the industry.
For example, the site intuitively designs a customized homepage for users based on most frequently or most recently used tools.
"Unlike other motor-carrier sites, jevic.com is totally intuitive when it comes to customizing the home page for our clients," Robinson explains. "There's no 'cutting and pasting' or 'clicking and dragging' -- it's just 'there' based on individual usage patterns."
Once logged in, customers can use the Jevic web site to customize reports to their specific needs, and can arrange to view these reports online or receive them automatically via email. Getting rate quotes is now faster and easier, as is the document retrieval.
"Our web site has long served as a useful tool for Jevic customers and now it has been enhanced to make it even easier to use with increased functionality," says Dave Gorman, Jevic president and CEO. "More customers want to personally manage their shipments, and our upgraded web site expands their capability to do so in real time," Gorman emphasizes.
Another useful function is the accounts payable and freight invoicing section. On this page Jevic customers can determine payments due for past shipments and perform a customized analysis of their business trends and business data.
Jevic also provides a tool that enables tracing of inbound or outbound shipments without knowing the PRO number. Customized searches for tracing shipments by specific day or shipment criteria are also available.
On the site, customers can create one Bill of Lading (BOL) or they can create multiple BOLs in advance. They can manage them at a later date as needed, reduce re-entry of repetitive information, and specify e-mail addresses for shippers, consignees, and bill-to parties to allow automatic notification when a pick-up is made.
"Our customers can manage the entire supply chain function right from their desktop", Gorman emphasizes. "From BOL to the AP function and everything in between -- This site is really a very powerful tool to provide complete visibility of the entire shipment process.
Jevic Transportation Inc, an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners, is a less- than-truckload transportation services provider that has carved a distinctive position in the marketplace due to its exclusive Breakbulk-Free Operating model. The company provides an appealing alternative to the major LTL carriers and is superior to most niche carriers in size and scale. Jevic provides product depth and customization for its marketplace with services such as The Heat Fleet, Jevic 100% Guaranteed Service, Partial Trailer Load Service, and Multi-regional and National capabilities in one system. In addition, without the multiple handling associated with the traditional breakbulk or "hub-and- spoke" carriers, the company provides industry low claims ratios, creating more efficiency in its customers' supply chains.
