FedEx launches same-day delivery service amid US delivery race
FedEx SameDay Local offers two-hour delivery windows and uses a network of over 1,000 providers to complete 80,000 deliveries daily across nearly 99% of the U.S.
- On Tuesday, FedEx launched a same-day delivery service with OneRail, a software company using artificial intelligence to optimize routing and tracking for retailers across a national network.
- Rising industry competition prompted the move, as Amazon rolled out one-hour and three-hour delivery options earlier this month, while Walmart and Target expanded their own express shipping services.
- OneRail provides retailers with a rate card to determine their own same-day shipping prices, while the system accesses a national network of more than 1,000 delivery providers to fulfill orders.
- Retailers can now offer faster shipping while maintaining ownership of customer data, which OneRail CEO Bill Catania said "unlocks even more capabilities for the retailer" and provides a "by end-of-day offering."
- FedEx senior vice president Jason Brenner said the partnership aligns with the company's strategy, noting, "Our value prop is about speed, reliability and visibility, and we're always trying to push the envelope.
