FedEx Express, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) and one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, unveiled a series of new integrations with leading e-commerce technology platforms across the Asia Pacific region which will substantially benefit e-tailers or e-commerce sellers.
This development comes at a time when small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are seeing significant demand for e-commerce services and day-definite international express delivery services, especially with the upcoming year-end peak season.
The Alliances program allows all partners in the e-commerce ecosystem, including online shipping providers, to offer their e-tailer customers direct access to FedEx services at favorable rates.
“The e-commerce sector has only gotten stronger as a result of the pandemic, leapfrogging traditional commerce by as much as five times, As the holiday season approaches, consumers are spending even more online.
“To help e-tailers tap the growing demand, we are making our services more accessible to e-tailers and SMEs globally,” said Kawal Preet, president, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa Region, FedEx Express.
“Our collaboration with leading e-commerce platforms is an important step toward building a robust e-commerce ecosystem where small businesses can enjoy the same services as large retail brands, thereby leveling the playing field. We look forward to collaborating with more like-minded partners to provide sustainable solutions at scale and further propel the entire e-commerce value chain.”
