“FedEx said on Tuesday it had launched a same-day delivery service ​with last-mile delivery software company OneRail, ‌as retailers and logistics firms race to speed up order fulfillment.

The service, called FedEx SameDay ​Local, lets customers choose narrower ​delivery windows, including two-hour and end-of-day ⁠options. FedEx said it links customers ​to a national network of more than ​1,000 delivery providers through a system that matches orders with the nearest vehicle and driver.

The ​move comes as companies across the ​sector invest in faster fulfillment and stronger last-mile networks ‌to ⁠meet rising customer demand for quicker and more flexible delivery.”
