When shoppers are roaming the aisles of a superstore, the retailer's reputation depends on whether customers can find what they're looking for — or whether they drive away frustrated. CompUSA relies on FedEx Freight to help guarantee that any personal computer product it sells will almost always be in stock.

The FedEx Freight network is perfectly designed for CompUSA's fast-cycle inventory replenishment. Shipments from manufacturers arrive at five distribution centers around the nation, where the products are immediately sorted and loaded right onto FedEx Freight trucks, eliminating the costly need to warehouse goods. The trucks deliver directly to CompUSA's 252 stores, typically resupplying them in two days or less.

But FedEx Freight is only one part of the FedEx portfolio that the Dallas-based retail powerhouse has come to trust. CompUSA also depends on FedEx Express, FedEx Ground and FedEx Trade Networks to meet needs ranging from e-commerce fulfillment to customs clearance and freight forwarding.

Doug Brown, CompUSA's senior director of logistics, said, "As our valued business partner, FedEx helped CompUSA gain the competitive edge in the marketplace through cutting-edge supply chain technology, the right mix of transportation and the passionate spirit in which the relationship is managed."
