Transportation Solutions
The inventory pipeline must keep moving in order to help sustain a vibrant global economy. Just-in-time, lean manufacturing and build-to-order practices have put pressure on distributors, as have customers who demand quicker, better service at competitive prices even if your costs continue to rise.
To stay competitive in the expanding global economy, companies depend on FedEx for logistics and operational knowledge, a bundled portfolio of shipping services and a superior transportation network. For more than 30 years, FedEx has been at the forefront of revolutionizing the way the world's leading companies have managed their supply chain.
Choices for the Service Level You Need
Balancing cost and service level is something you need to do daily. Customers expect the right product at the right time. Sometimes that means the same day or the next day. Other times it means next week or when orders are complete. All these pressures can challenge even the most well-planned supply chain. Finding the right service to move products that meet your schedules and fit within your budget is the core of your job.
Shipping is the critical link that ensures the right product gets to the right market at the right time. FedEx has the choices you want when you need to move product fast and reliably.
Shipment Visibility Is Everything When You Are Managing the Supply Chain
Your product management group wants to know the status of the incoming offshore shipment. Your customers want to know when their products will get to them. You want to know if any customer order won't meet its planned delivery schedule. Knowing and communicating these important shipment facts can be simplified through viewing the real-time status of your inbound and outbound shipments.
FedEx pioneered bar coding and package tracking. Now, with the FedEx InSight® Web-based application, everyone who needs to know about a shipment can have the information they need when they need it so you can focus on your job. The information is at everyone's fingertips around the clock.
