FedEx Introduces Collaborative Shipping Tool in the Philippines to Enhance Import Process and Boost Logistics Efficiency The New digital tool enables seamless collaboration between importers and shippers, improving shipment visibility and pickup efficiency.

Federal Express Corporation, one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, today announced the launch of the 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 – Importers can now share the AWB creation process with shippers, allowing them to confirm or edit package details and provide pickup date 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, 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 the FedEx’s commitment of enhancing the import experience and improving overall logistics efficiency for its customers.
