Is FedEx's main competitiveness the speed of research and development?

FedEx's main competitiveness is not the speed of research and development.

1. According to relevant data, the logistics information technology applied and promoted by enterprises represented by FedEx is the core of modern logistics and the symbol of logistics modernization. Barcodes and scanners enable FedEx to selectively track and report transportation status 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Customers can get value-added services such as "ground tracking" and air transportation by calling toll-free telephone numbers.

2. FedEx's delivery driver is now carrying a notebook computer based on numerical control technology to collect delivery information on the queuing line. Notebook computers enable drivers to digitally record the signatures of cargo recipients to provide receipt verification, and coordinate driver information through computers, thus reducing errors and speeding up delivery.

3. The most advanced information technology application of FedEx is the national wireless communication network established in 1993, which uses 55 cellular operators' telephones. Cellular carrier phone technology enables drivers to upload the timely tracked information on trucks to FedEx's central computer. Wireless mobile technology and system can provide electronic data storage and resume tracking the company's millions of delivery services around the world.
