WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY...
As lead buyer for Airfreight and Express for Bayer on a corporate level, I am responsible for all negotiations and cargo freight contracts for Bayer and its products. When I select a carrier, I need to have total guarantee of quality, competence, service and price.
In addition to meeting all these requirements, FedEx offers us considerably more : a tailored customer service solution. For example, every day our American team sends a number of our products to other Bayer locations in China, Japan,
Singapore and Korea. This involves complex custom clearance procedures and major language and cultural differences. Thanks to the expertise of FedEx teams, these Asian markets are now easily accessible for us.
Moreover, Bayer CropScience – a world leader in environmental science – sometimes needs to ship dangerous or fl ammable products. Handling and transporting such products calls for considerable know-how and expertise, since any slip-ups could affect their quality. This is why we rely on FedEx, a world leader in transport.
Another indispensable tool for shipping effi ciently is direct communication.
Because we send products of all kinds with FedEx every day between Bayer businesses, we’ve been able to create an effective line of communication with
FedEx teams to facilitate the coordination of orders for all our destinations.
This system also enables us to track all our shipments in real time. The total integration of our internal logistics procedures has made shipping worldwide that much easier.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY...
In its short twenty year history, Emirates has grown to become one of the world’s most successful airlines, earning an enviable worldwide reputation for high-quality service. An important part of our product and service proposition is our global frequent fl yer loyalty program, Skywards. With over 4 million members scattered across hundreds of cities spanning the six continents, all Skywards members, many of who are Europe based, receive regular packages, each one containing a promotional mailing piece and a gift for the recipient. This requires the dispatch each month of up to 15,000 individually addressed small half-kilo packs.
The timely, reliable and effi cient delivery of these consignments is crucial to the success of our program, and also refl ects on Emirates’ professionalism and quality of customer service. FedEx works hand-in-hand with us in planning and implementing all our logistics needs in handling these packages. A dedicated
FedEx unit within Emirates’ own worldwide operations hub enables us to plan organize and monitor all shipments at any time. Regular twice-daily collections and access to state-of-the-art IT systems and support ensure that we enjoy the best possible standards of service.
We also work together with FedEx to research and develop new approaches to improve our operations and keep abreast of changing circumstances and demands.
A recent example of this has been the introduction of a fully automated system for the production of electronic shipping documents. This innovation has drastically reduced our expenditure on paper, photocopying materials and associated equipment whilst simultaneously minimizing the environmental impact of our operations. It has also provided us with signifi cant savings in the labor costs previously required to sort, fold and stuff these documents.
FedEx staff has always provided us with experienced, pro-active and consistently helpful support - we know we can rely upon them at any time.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY...
Our logistics policy rests on the principle: “the shortest distance between two points is a straight line”. FedEx knows what we mean.
At Atlas Copco, we specialise in the production of compressors and spare parts and are the market leader in the compressors industry. Our logistics department ensures effi cient fl ow and stock management for our customers, but this service could not be effectively implemented without the support of our logistics partners. For many years, we have relied on FedEx to deliver our products to our customers in North America.
We chose FedEx for North America for their expertise in that part of the world and because their teams’ priority, like ours, is delighting the customer. We benefi t from a state-of-the-art service that combines quality, speed and good value for money. With FedEx, the promised delivery time is always respected
– being able to get our products rapidly to their destination is critical for us!
FedEx is even able to meet our higher weight requirements when it comes to compressors.
Shipments to North America are subject to strict customs procedures. Thanks to FedEx, we have never had any problems in this area – their teams know in detail the required documentation for each shipment, and our deliveries get a smooth passage through customs and avoid any delays.
Our ultimate aim is to be a valued supplier for our customers. FedEx perfectly matches our image, as a partner with the same demanding requirements on quality of service. Our challenge for all shipments is to satisfy our customers in various industries and different locations in the US within a tight time frame.
FedEx’s automated solutions have greatly simplifi ed the logistics.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY...
®
“Our worldwide reputation as a leading supplier of top-of-the-range kites, boards and extreme sports accessories and clothing counts for nothing if we cannot meet our customers’ needs efficiently and promptly. Whether they are in Europe, Australia or South Africa, all our wholesalers and retailers operate in a highly competitive trading environment, so it is essential that they can always have confidence in our ability to ship their orders efficiently and as cost-effectively as possible.
Our recent decision to move all of Flexifoil’s business to FedEx has transformed our lives. Instead of being forced to waste time by chasing delivery information and trying to reconcile accounts queries we can now concentrate on growing our business, knowing that FedEx support and efficiency is spot on and that whether it is an invoicing or a tracking enquiry we know we can always speak to someone who knows our account details and who can resolve our queries straight away.
Our customers also appreciate being able to better meet their own particular market needs by having the option to choose between FedEx Express and
Economy services. When time-specific deliveries are required they can of course always opt for the Express service, but they now know that the more competitive shipping rates available through the Economy service offer considerable advantages when delivery urgency is not of vital importance.
This service encourages them to place larger orders when delivery urgency is less time-sensitive - so Flexifoil and our customers are now reaping real commercial benefits from being able to choose the Economy option.”

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY...
“We are like old friends now!” FedEx has been a trusted collaborator in the
Psion Teklogix story ever since we set up our European office in Aix-en-Provence, in the south of France. When we decided in 2002 to centralise repair services for our logistics solutions, we looked for an exclusive partner for our European shipments.
FedEx was able to convince us of its expertise at a competitive price. From the start of our partnership, we have always been able to count on a team that is available, highly reactive and always ready to make our life easier, especially through their high performance automated shipping applications.
Psion is a global provider of mobile computing solutions and devices. 70% of our 6,000 monthly repairs are carried out on products collected by FedEx at our customers’ offices and shipped back within 24 hours. The advantage of using FedEx in managing our logistics is unquestionably the availability of its unrivalled automated solutions. Through a single connection to our extranet, every customer can access their shipment history, arrange a pick-up of an item to be repaired, and print the package label with the corresponding product reference. Following pick-up, our customers can locate and track their shipments in real time and obtain proof of delivery. Through the internet they can view what FedEx is doing behind the scenes via an interface. It is completely transparent and highly reliable. It’s a first rate service.
Our partnership is not only technical, it is also very human. FedEx teams know us well and we are in very close contact with them. The collaboration has developed in parallel with our growth – FedEx knows our customers, and there is no loss of time. For five years FedEx has played a crucial role in this success story – and we’re counting on its continuation in the years ahead.
