Federal Express Corporation has launched the Collaborative Shipping Tool, a digital tool that simplifies the import process by enabling seamless collaboration during Airway Bill (AWB) creation between importers and shippers. The tool aims to improve efficiency in global trade, particularly in Asia, where imports are projected to grow by 5.1% in 2025. The tool allows importers to share the AWB creation process with shippers, enabling them to confirm shipment details and schedule pickups based on readiness, thus enhancing the success rate of shipment pickups.

“The Philippines is a key market for FedEx, and we are committed to supporting businesses here with innovative solutions that address 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 – Importers can now share the AWB creation process with shippers, allowing them to confirm or edit package details and provide pick-up dates and times based on their availability. This improves shipment data accuracy, enhances the overall success rate of pickups, 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 designed to be simple and intuitive, making the import process easier and more efficient for both importers and shippers.

The Collaborative Shipping Tool is available to all FedEx import customers in Asia Pacific, Europe, the United States, Canada, the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent, and Africa, enabling seamless collaboration with their global shippers. This addition complements the company’s other digital solutions, including the FedEx Import Tool, which has not yet been launched in the Philippines. Once launched, the FedEx Import Tool will provide customers with a comprehensive suite of options to simplify and manage their import shipments. Together, these innovations demonstrate FedEx’s commitment to enhancing the import experience and improving overall logistics efficiency for its customers.
