FedEx Enhances Shipping Experience for E-tailers across AMEA

FedEx Express, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) and one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, is enhancing the online shipping experience for its customers. The new automated e-commerce capability in FedEx Ship Manager™ (FSM) supports small businesses and e-commerce merchants across AMEA, helping them to efficiently manage their shipments online.

Available across 63 countries and territories in AMEA, this enhancement to FSM allows businesses to create shipments and paperwork from their online orders in a few simple steps, saving considerable time compared to manually entering information to create shipping labels. Customers will now be able to synchronise their Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and PrestaShop store with FSM at fedex.com. More e-commerce platforms and marketplaces will be added over time.

In addition, FedEx customers can now:

• Link their e-commerce platform or marketplace with FSM to automatically download their order information.
• Create and print labels for multiple orders in one click and sync with electronic trade documents for a smooth clearance process.
• Synchronize update of tracking numbers and order status on sales channels, notifying buyers that orders have been shipped.

“Just as e-tailers strive to provide seamless shopping experiences for their customers, we are focused on a differentiated, more efficient and convenient shipping experience for our e-commerce merchants,” said Salil Chari, senior vice president of Marketing and Customer Experience for Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa region, FedEx Express. “With this enhancement, small businesses can enjoy automated e-commerce shipping and use the time saved on more strategic tasks to propel their future growth. As a technology company creating possibilities for what’s next, FedEx will continue to build world-class digital solutions like this for our customers.”
