Federal Express Corporation, one of the
world’s largest express transportation companies, today announced the launch of
Collaborative Shipping Tool. This
new digital tool simplifies the import process for customers by enabling
seamless collaboration during Airway Bill (AWB) creation between importers and
shippers, enhancing overall efficiency when moving goods across the globe.
Global merchandise trade is set to increase
by 3%, with Imports in Asia projected to grow by 5.1% in 2025. According to
study by the International Trade Centre, failed pickups and lack of shipment
visibility are among the top challenges faced by importers globally. Such
inefficiencies directly impact business operations, underscoring the need for
digital solutions like the Collaborative Shipping Tool.
This shipping tool allows importers to
share the Airway Bill (AWB) creation process directly with shippers, enabling
them to confirm shipment details and schedule pickups based on their readiness.
This collaborative feature is designed to improve the success rate of shipment
pickups, ensuring greater efficiency in the import journey.
“The
Philippines is a key market for FedEx, and we are committed to supporting
businesses here with innovative solutions that addresses their unique
challenges," said Maribeth Espinosa, managing director of FedEx
Philippines. "The Collaborative Shipping Tool is a game-changer for
importers, offering greater transparency, efficiency, and control over their
supply chains.”
Key
Benefits of Collaborative Shipping Tool:
Seamless
Collaboration & Enhanced Flexibility –

to confirm or edit package details and provide pickup date and time based on
their availability. This

and minimizes shipment delays.
Improved Visibility – Importers gain
real-time insights into the pickup process, ensuring greater transparency and
control over their shipments.
Enhanced User Experience – The shipping tool is
