Red Square Internet Agency designs and delivers a world first website for P&O Nedlloyd!

Announcement posted by Red Square 13 May 2003

Innovative website, youship.com, provides SMEs with cost-effective online facility
Red Square (www.redsquare.com.au), a leading Australian full-service Internet agency, is pleased to announce it has developed the first-of-a-kind online presence for one of the worlds largest shipping companies.
P&O Nedlloyd approached Red Square to develop an online product www.youship.com that would offer businesses competitive sea-freight rates significantly below the normal P&O Nedlloyd "tariff" rates.
The resulting youship.com website, launched in Australia and New Zealand first, now means businesses needing to ship goods can view prices and space availability online; can then book their shipment online and then be issued with an e-ticket confirming the booking and charges to be paid.
"Through youship, booking shipping is now as easy as booking an airline ticket," explains David Stevens, youship Manager. "Red Square has developed a flexible site in youship, that provides an interesting and easy end-user experience. For the first time in the world our online presence now gives potential and existing customers an easier and often more cost effective sea-freight offering, to reflect the online service being provided."
Tony Redhead, Principal of Red Square, says, "We are delighted to have been involved in this project with P&O Nedlloyd. We have created youship to enable customers to take direct control of their shipment arrangements across the Tasman by using a simple, easy-to-use product which minimises paperwork and is available 24 hours a day."
David Stevens, youship, concludes, "Red Squares professional and enthusiastic approach combined with their excellent track record and innovative ideas made them the best choice for developing the youship site."
Bookings can be made by customers in both directions across the Tasman, on P&O Nedlloyd services, including ships of partner companies where P&O Nedlloyd has a space allocation.
