FedEx SupplyChain upgrades Critical Inventory Logistics service
FedEx SupplyChain has introduced web-tracking, order placement, and status messaging for its FedEx Critical Inventory Logistics service. Customers will now be able to track the status of orders, shipments and inventory levels by logging into a web application on fedex.com.
Order placement and status messaging are also available through electronic data interchange (EDI) and delivered in a common global message format.
These enhanced capabilities were developed by FedEx using a flexible IT framework designed to enable ongoing global enhancements that will meet changing customer needs.
“Our proven FedEx Critical Inventory Logistics technology has been delivering significant value to customers for the past five years,” said Craig Simon, president and CEO of FedEx SupplyChain.
“These latest global enhancements will provide our customers with even more efficient, simplified controls over their mission-critical inventory. Our solution does not require customers to navigate multiple systems or applications like many other global supply chain management options available today. It is truly a single, global access point that can take the complexity and worry out of the process of managing global logistics. This enhanced IT platform, coupled with our reliable execution, is an unbeatable combination,” Simon added.
Offered by FedEx SupplyChain since 2006, FedEx Critical Inventory Logistics allows customers to centrally locate their inventory at stocking facilities throughout the world, including 24-hour locations.
Many of these stocking facilities are located near hospitals, business centres and other strategic locations -enabling customers’ field representatives to pick up critical parts or devices quickly.
