New Mobile Technology Makes it Easier than Ever to do Business with Ryder
Ryder
System, Inc. (NYSE:R), a leader in commercial
fleet management, dedicated
transportation, and supply
chain solutions, today announced the launch of its rebranded, fully
responsive website, Ryder.com. The new layout, featuring reorganized
content, makes it easier to navigate the site from any device, and
ultimately, to do business with Ryder.
“Ryder is continuously looking for ways to create and deliver the best
customer experience possible,” said Karen Jones, Executive Vice
President and Chief Marketing Officer, Ryder. “We want to make it as
easy as possible for visitors to get the information they need about the
best Ryder solution, both when and how they need it and across any
device.”
The fully refreshed site serves up a “Problem Solver” feature, which
allows visitors to easily identify the business challenges they are
facing and pinpoint which Ryder solutions can help them to address those
challenges accordingly. This tool specifically helps prospects and
customers understand the benefits of outsourcing transportation and
supply chain operations.
With the new homepage layout, tasks are made simple, such as buying or
renting a truck, searching for Ryder locations, and identifying
industries and solutions for supply chain and logistics needs. A
background canvas video that illustrates Ryder’s capabilities
immediately plays on the homepage, where visitors are also able to
obtain access to highlighted content and pages. Additionally, the new
site has made it easier for those seeking a career at Ryder to learn
about all available job opportunities within the Company.
The new Expertise page is one in particular that can help any visitor
conducting research on Ryder’s transportation and supply chain
solutions. This section provides access to real-world examples of
Ryder’s capabilities through case studies, customer testimonials,
videos, brochures, special reports, and more.
The website was developed in partnership with Crispin Porter + Bogusky
(CP+B), a leading advertising and digital agency known for strategic
thinking and breakthrough creativity. The agency’s global client list
includes companies such as Kraft, Infiniti, Domino’s Pizza, letgo, Fruit
of the Loom, Hotels.com,
and American Airlines.
A thorough analysis of Ryder.com’s user activity revealed just how
important it was for the site to be fully responsive and
mobile-friendly, with mobile traffic doubling over the past two years
and constituting nearly 50 percent of its traffic. Findings from the
analysis also enabled the Company to identify the most frequently
visited pages and to create rich, easy-to-digest content on those pages.
In addition to Ryder.com, the Company plans to launch redesigned
versions of its Rental and Pre-Owned Vehicle Sales websites later this
year. This will make the mobile experience seamless and provide the most
user friendly platform in the industry for commercial rental and sales.
To access Ryder’s new online experience, simply visit ryder.com from
your desktop or mobile device.
