“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.”
