TAIPEI, April 6, 2000 - Federal Express Corporation (FedEx), the
world's largest express transportation company, today enhances its
global online shipping application FedEx interNetShip® with the
addition of traditional and simplified Chinese language. It enables
customers in Hong Kong, Taiwan and China to ship electronically
in their local language at the company's local web page.
"As a technology leader in the express transportation industry,
every technological innovation we have introduced has been with
customer convenience and value in mind. The introduction of the
Chinese version of FedEx interNetShip® continues this industry-leading
legacy and demonstrates our long-term commitment to addressing the
needs of our local customers," said Jimmy Chen, Managing Director
of FedEx Taiwan.
FedEx interNetShip®, the world's first Internet-based shipping
application launched in 1997, is designed to bring total shipping
automation right to customers' desktops. It enables shippers in
58 countries to ship online to more than 180 destinations worldwide
in a more streamlined and efficient fashion with advanced features.
They include online air waybills preparation, an address book of
up to 300 entries for fast printing of shipping labels and air waybills,
FedEx Ship AlertTM email notification to inform recipients when
shipment was sent. Via the FedEx's Chinese web page, customers can
query and receive package status information for up to 25 shipments
simultaneously and forward the detailed tracking results to up to
three email addresses.
"The Chinese language capability of FedEx interNetShip® is a further
initiative in strengthening the company's portfolio of local language
technology products. In Chinese markets like Hong Kong, Taiwan and
China, the availability of a Chinese language interface of a business
solution to users is of paramount importance. We believe this added
option will be widely used by shippers in these Chinese markets,"
continued Jimmy Chen.
