MetroGistics, a full-service vehicle transportation company, not only launched a new website on Monday but also a corresponding application for the iPhone. Both tools are meant to facilitate simple and fast online quotes that can give customers unprecedented access to shipment tracking and instant ETA updates.

For the Web user, MetroGistics’ newly revised website can provide online quotes from the home page. By entering in the number of vehicles and ZIP code or city/state for origin and destination, visitors can get instant quotes 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The company’s new iPhone app, available from the iTunes app store by searching “car shipping,” can provide customers seamless quoting and tracking functionality, officials noted.

“Getting an honest and most up-to-the-second status and ETA is now only a few clicks away with our new iPhone application,” explained Scott Naz, one of the company’s managing partners.

“Bringing this critical information directly to our customers’ fingertips is a first-to-market release that will add tremendous value and simplicity to their vehicle shipping experience,” Naz continued.

“Auto shipping is not confined to a regular 40-hour workweek, and we wanted our clients to be able to get online quotes, statuses and ETAs whenever they needed it, day or night,” he went on to say.

These new tools will be on display at booth 21 at the National Remarketing Conference, Nov. 10 through Nov. 12 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego.

MetroGistics plans to give away two iPads to attendees who drop by its booth and scan a special barcoded brochure found in the conference registration packet. One iPad will go to the individual with the correct matching barcode, and another will go to the winner of a second-chance drawing at the end of the tradeshow.

“In addition to providing seamless interfacing with our quoting and tracking systems, we also provide a price match guarantee,” stated William Billiter, another of MetroGistics’ managing partners.

“If you get an auto shipping quote from another auto carrier or auto shipping broker and it is lower than our shipping quote, we will match or beat it, bottom line,” Billiter added.
