In the rapidly evolving world of e-commerce, customer experience can make or break a business. Whether you're running a small online shop or managing a global brand, staying ahead of customer expectations is key to success. This data-driven solution is designed to help businesses of all sizes grow demand, increase conversions, optimize fulfillment, and streamline returns. Let's dive into how fdx is transforming e-commerce and what it means for your business.
What is the fdx Platform?
FedEx moves over 15 million packages a day across its global network, collecting vast amounts of data about customer behavior, shipping trends, and logistics. With this knowledge, FedEx created fdx—a new platform that leverages its powerful data to provide tools and insights that enhance the customer experience across every touchpoint, from the moment they land on your website to post-purchase interactions, including returns when needed.
Launched in September 2024, fdx is now live and available to businesses across the U.S. It’s designed to connect the entire customer journey—making it easier to meet your customers’ needs while boosting your business’s revenue and efficiency.
Key features of fdx: How it benefits your business
The fdx platform offers some tools that help businesses tackle some of the biggest challenges in e-commerce. Here are the core features that make fdx a game-changer:
1. Drive Demand with ShopRunner
ShopRunner, a FedEx-owned service, provides exclusive member benefits and access to millions of online shoppers. As a business, you can showcase your products to a vast audience while offering perks like free two-day shipping, which drives demand and encourages conversions. By integrating with ShopRunner, your brand gets increased exposure across both ShopRunner and FedEx channels.
2. Increase conversions with Predictive Delivery Estimates (PDE)
One of the main reasons customers abandon their carts is uncertainty about delivery times. With Predictive Delivery Estimates (PDE), fdx provides real-time data directly from FedEx, giving customers accurate delivery estimates before they even check out. This feature builds trust and encourages customers to hit that "Buy Now" button with confidence.
3. Sustainability insights: Stay Competitive and Responsible
Sustainability is more than a buzzword—it’s becoming a business necessity. FedEx Sustainability Insights helps you predict your future emissions, allowing you to mitigate risks and keep up with industry standards. With consumer preferences increasingly shifting toward eco-friendly brands, using sustainability insights can give you a competitive edge.
4. Keep customers engaged with branded order tracking
After making a purchase, customers want to stay in the loop about their order’s status. The Branded Order Tracking feature lets you create custom tracking pages that reflect your brand’s identity, keeping customers engaged even after they’ve checked out. This not only enhances their experience but also builds brand loyalty by offering a seamless, branded journey from start to finish.
5. Simplify returns with branded returns
Returns are a headache for both customers and businesses. With Branded Returns, the entire process becomes easier. The fdx platform allows you to create customized return policies, generate return labels, track return statuses, and access insights—all in one place. By making returns more efficient and transparent, you’ll keep customers satisfied, even when they need to send something back.
