As the latest information revealed, FedEx is planning to establish an ecommerce platform dubbed “fdx“ that will be launched later this year. The shipping business revealed this in an announcement on Sunday, touting fdx as an end-to-end online shopping center that will help vendors with everything from finding potential clients to order fulfilment and refunds. FedEx plans to officially debut in the autumn of 2024.
For now, there aren’t many details, but fdx is being promoted as a “data-driven” platform that will employ FedEx’s knowledge to optimize virtually every aspect of the purchasing and selling process.

Sellers will receive carbon emissions estimates based on their supply chain decisions, ideal shipping routes, and much more.
