FedEx Supply Chain announced the launch of FedEx Fulfillment, a service designed to meet the shipping needs of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and to challenge to Amazon\u2019s dominance of the e-commerce sector. FedEx Fulfillment delivers orders across multiple channels, including websites and online marketplaces, and manages inventory for participating retailers.
\nThe new Fulfillment product \u2013 formerly called GENCO, an e-commerce platform catering to SMEs \u2013 utilizes FedEx Supply Chain\u2019s suite of logistics services, including warehousing, distribution, transportation, e-commerce fulfillment and reverse logistics. FedEx Fulfillment then integrates these services to what it calls an \u201ceasy-to-use platform\u201d and the rest of the integrator\u2019s transportation networks.
\nFor SME\u2019s, scaling up e-commerce operations in-house is expensive and time-consuming, prompting many to turn to e-commerce platforms like Amazon. FedEx Fulfillment is meant to be a serious contender in this market. \u00a0Carl Asmus, senior vice president of e-Commerce for FedEx Express, explained that the new offering would allow \u201ccustomers can focus less on fulfillment and logistics challenges and more on growing their businesses.\u201d
\nThe company stated that, \u201ccustomers will have complete visibility into their products, giving them an easy way to track items, manage inventory, analyze trends, and make more informed decisions by better understanding shoppers\u2019 spending behaviors.\u201d
\nIn early 2015, FedEx bought third-party logistics provider GENCO Distribution System for $1.4 billion, and the launch of FedEx Fulfillment fleshes out the integrator\u2019s investment.
