FedEx enhances Critical Inventory Logistics service

FedEx Critical Inventory Logistics customers around the globe can now track their inventory levels, order and shipment status in real time, irrespective of where the order was placed or where it will be delivered.

FedEx SupplyChain has also deployed a common warehouse management system, enabling more consistency in capabilities and experience around the world.

FedEx Critical Inventory Logistics allows customers to centrally locate their most important 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 at a moment’s notice or ship them using one of FedEx’s transportation options.

The use of regional and forward stocking locations for this service also allows customers to keep supplies accessible to support an increasingly mobile workforce.

FedEx Critical Inventory Logistics utilises the services of FedEx Express (transportation), FedEx Office (provides forward stocking locations in select US cities), FedEx Trade Networks (customs brokerage, global cargo distribution and trade facilitation solutions), FedEx Ground (100% coverage of every business addresses in the US), FedEx Freight (next-day and second-day regional, LTL freight services) and FedEx Custom Critical sane-day and next-day door-to-door service).

FedEx SupplyChain personnel work with customers to first determine how to best position their critical inventories throughout the FedEx distribution network and then develop plans to optimise their overall supply chain.  Once the inventory is in place, orders are fulfilled by identifying the best sourcing locations and transportation option that meets the required delivery time, cost or service level desired by the customer.
