Specialized Transportation Inc., STI, the leader in high value product logistics, is driving technology advancements to enhance customer communication. STI customers can now download a free Google Android application found in the Android Market screen on all Android phones. The STIdelivers application will provide shipment status, location, actual or planned delivery date and the delivery signature to customers. Customers can download the application by searching “STIdelivers” in the Android Market. This convenient application can be used any time or any place. “The growth of “virtual” work locations, heavy travel demands, and the vast number of time zones our customers operate in requires that we enable clients to access critical tracking information from as many communication sources as possible,” noted Rick Burton, STI’s Chief Financial Officer.
“Mobile technology is advancing at such a fast rate, we are constantly evaluating cutting edge technology to improve the customer experience,” says Brent Baker, STI’s Chief Information Officer. “We chose the Google Android platform based upon its tremendous growth, and when reviewing the technology of our mobile Web site visitors, Android proved to be at the top of the list.”
