FedEx QuickShip Allows Access to FedEx Services through E-Mail Application

FedEx Corp. will now provide users of Microsoft Office Outlook, the world’s largest email application, the ability to connect directly to FedEx shipping services. FedEx made its announcement during the keynote event at the 2008 Microsoft Office System Developer Conference.

The application, FedEx QuickShip, is an add-in that utilizes web services to provide fast and easy access to FedEx shipping functions. It is available immediately for download at fedex.com/quickship.

With the FedEx add-in installed, Microsoft Office Outlook users will be able to generate labels, track packages, check rates, schedule pickups and find FedEx drop-off locations while still inside their Outlook 2003 or 2007 e-mail application.

To initiate the shipping experience, users simply right-click on an existing contact and choose “ship” from the menu. Shipments are then stored in a task view allowing users to conveniently recall and sort previous shipments.

“We are providing FedEx customers with another convenient option to choose how they access and connect to FedEx services,” said David Zanca, senior vice president e-commerce technology, FedEx Services. “Our vision is to allow our customers, whether small businesses or global corporations, to be able to work more effectively, be more productive and reduce the effort required to ship.”
