B2B technology agency wins major web re-design project.
London, UK January 20, 2008 — ShipServ, the leading maritime e-marketplace, has chosen Velocity, the B2B technology marketing agency, to execute a major website messaging and redesign project.
Since its launch in 1999, ShipServ TradeNet has become the world’s most widely used maritime e-Commerce trading platform. Today a community of over 20,000 users are on track to conduct $1bn in trade per annum, buying and selling ship supplies and parts in more than 90 countries.
The company has seen phenomonal growth in its business over the last 2 years and is rapidly ramping up its added value services for both buyers and suppliers. Most notable amongst these is ShipServ Pages, an online sourcing tool that allows purchasing professionals access to a global directory of over 8,000 maritime suppliers covering 2,000 ports and 1,400 brands.
This recent growth has created the need for ShipServ to enhance its online presence, with Phase 1 being a redesign of shipserv.com. Velocity was chosen as the preferred partner after a comprehensive agency review process.
“Velocity showed straight away that they grasp what we do and understand the challenges and opportunities we face,” said John Watton, VP Marketing, ShipServ, “Their creative approach is refreshing and their strength in digital engagement and web strategy is impressive.”
“ShipServ is hotter than a hot thing in a hot competition,” said Stan Woods, Velocity MD, “We’re thrilled to have been chosen and are already getting stuck in with a new approach to the website.”
