SEATTLE, March 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Lynden is offering customers the latest in
convenience and technology with an enhanced version of its free
mobile phone app. The new app was developed based on feedback from
customers and employees and provides accurate, up-to-date
information and control of shipments directly from smartphones.
Available for iPhone, Android and Windows phones, the app allows
customers to track freight, request quotes, schedule shipments,
submit claims and contact Lynden.
"We know our customers are busy and most depend on their
smartphones on a regular basis," says David
Rosenzweig, Lynden's Vice
President of Marketing and Media. "Over the past year, we've met
with customers and conducted surveys to find out what features
would be most helpful to them in a phone app. Based on their
responses, we simplified the quoting and shipment scheduling
process, added more features to allow customers to track shipments
in transit and streamlined claims reporting. The new app provides
more options, easier access, and ultimately, more free time for
customers to focus on other aspects of their business."
Customers may download the free app at the App Store (iOS 6.0+),
the Windows Store (Windows Phone 8.0/8.1) and the Google Play Store
(Android 2.3.3+).
The Lynden family of companies'
combined capabilities include shipping to Alaska, truckload and
less-than-truckload transportation, barge service to Hawaii and
Alaska, charter barges, worldwide
air and ocean forwarding, third-party logistics, trade show
shipping, intermodal bulk chemical hauls, scheduled and chartered
Hercules L-382 cargo aircraft and multi-modal logistics.
Lynden companies are repeat
winners in the annual Quest for Quality awards presented
by Logistics Management magazine.
