"We designed our information systems framework with our customer in mind," says Rick McClelland, President and CEO. "dxNow(tm) was developed to work seamlessly with the Company's existing systems, ensuring real-time pricing and order status as well as quick and easy on-line order entry. The Internet is the best vehicle to provide our customers with real-time shipment information, allowing our customers to operate more efficiently and cost effectively. A primary goal is to reduce our costs through efficiency gains," said McClelland.

Dynamex is finding innovative ways to deliver customers convenient, direct access to the information and tools they need to simplify their same-day transportation needs.

VALUE ADDED SERVICES

dxNow(tm) is designed to provide the services and information that the customers expect from their same-day transportation provider including price quotes, on-line order entry, order status, shipment visibility, electronic payment, and real-time proof of delivery. An intuitive navigation structure minimizes the number of mouse clicks separating customers from the information they need.
