FedEx Express has teamed up with leading e-commerce platforms to help e-tailers across Australia and APAC.
The company’s Compatible and Alliances programs enable e-tailers to gain instant access to enhanced and affordable shipping solutions.
Under the FedEx Compatible program, FedEx customers can generate FedEx shipping labels and use additional FedEx features, such as Express Shipping Services and International Shipping Documentation Service, without leaving the e-commerce or marketplace platforms.
The 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 Asia Pacific region is generating nearly two-thirds (64 per cent) of global e-commerce spending.
Just as shoppers have switched to purchasing online, so have businesses. More retailers are increasing their investment and engagement in online channels to capture consumer demand, resulting in increased demand for logistics support. According to McKinsey, the Asia e-commerce logistics market will account for 57% of total market growth from 2020 to 2025.
Kawal Preet, president, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa Region, FedEx Express says as the holiday season approaches, retailers will spend even more online.
“To help e-tailers tap the growing demand, we are making our services more accessible to e-tailers and SMEs globally,” Kawal says.
“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.”
