The commerce platform will connect the entire customer journey — making it easier for companies to grow demand, increase conversion, optimise fulfillment, and streamline returns, the company said in a statement.

“FedEx is transforming into a digitally-led business powered by our extensive physical transportation network, leveraging our scale and insights from moving 15 million packages per day,” said FedEx President and CEO, Raj Subramaniam. POCO X6 and POCO X6 Pro First Sale Starts on January 16 at 12 PM, Early Access on January 15 at 8 PM; Check Details.

The fdx platform is currently available as a private preview (upon request). Elon Musk Sets New World Record in Diablo 4 AoZ, Shares Live Stream Video of His Gameplay on X.
