MyYellow Promotes Ease of Use with Upgraded Navigation Features
OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Aug. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Yellow Corporation (Nasdaq: YELL), a leader in global transportation services, today announced enhanced navigation features on MyYellow.com that enable users to access information quicker and navigate the site effortlessly.Among the site improvements are:
- Consistent left navigation that provides drop down menus that offer a summary of tools and information with just one click.
- Easy-to-follow "bread crumbing" on all pages so customers will always have a sense of where they are on the site.
- Favorites located at the top of each page for one-click access for registered MyYellow users. Each user can select up to 15 favorites to customize their personal access.
"The navigation changes are a significant part of a year-long effort to improve usability and functionality for MyYellow users," said Jon Steele-Nail, Director of E-Business Systems, Yellow Transportation. "Customer feedback was an important part of the process. We conducted usability studies and used customer input to make changes that made the most sense for our customers."
In addition, customer-specific tools on MyYellow will drop the My designation before the tool name, yet they will continue to offer secure and more-detailed information. MyYellow tools that do not require log-in will be identified by the "Basic" prefix, such as Basic Tracking, Basic Pickup and Basic Rate Quote.
Other improvements made during the past year include upgrades to the Exact Express Shipments tool; the Exact Express Service Calculator; the My Bill of Lading tool, which now has a robust database search functionality; a modified BOL form to provide maximum use of the consignee and product databases, a multiple carrier option, a streamlined information entry process, and flexible label processing.
