FedEx Express Overview

Preparing FedEx shipments just got a whole lot easier. With Kewill's connectivity to FedEx Server, you can automate all aspects of FedEx package processing, including rate and route calculations, label printing, electronic billing, and on-line tracking. Best of all, you can process FedEx shipments on the same workstation you use for all of your other carrier shipments. 

Processing is a snap. Enter shipping information into Kewill's simple user interface or automatically access data from your host system using powerful TracerX¨ integration tools. Select a FedEx service. Kewill sends consignee information via TCP/IP to a FedEx- supplied Server which immediately returns accurate rating and routing information. Kewill prepares a FedEx compliant label and stores the transaction in an electronic file. It's that simple.

When FedEx picks up the shipment at the end of the day, Kewill prints a courier report and uploads all of the shipment data to FedEx for automated billing.

Kewill and TracerX provides you with all of the tools you need to adapt automated FedEx processing to your unique requirements.
