Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) has introduced a new digital tool called the Collaborative Shipping Tool in Indonesia. This tool aims to simplify the import process for customers by facilitating smooth collaboration during the creation of Airway Bills (AWB) between importers and shippers, thereby enhancing overall efficiency in global shipments.
Global commodity trade is expected to rise by 3%, with imports in Asia projected to increase by 5.1% in 2025. A study by the International Trade Center highlights key challenges faced by importers worldwide, such as pickup failures and lack of shipment visibility. These inefficiencies directly impact business operations, underscoring the need for digital solutions like the Collaborative Shipping Tool. The tool allows importers to share AWB creation processes directly with shippers, ensuring shipment details are confirmed and pickups are scheduled according to availability. This collaborative feature is designed to improve pickup success rates, ensuring greater efficiency in the import process.
Garrick Thompson, Managing Director of FedEx Indonesia, stated, “Kehadiran Fedex di Indonesia selama lebih dari 4 dekade membuat kami sangat memahami berbagai macam keunggulan khas yang dimiliki negara ini, khususnya dalam penanganan barang impor.” He added that through this tool, FedEx is committed to helping customers and businesses navigate international trade complexities easily.
