Case Study: FedEx achieves certified carrier compliance and seamless shipping integration with Varsity Logistics

FedEx - Customer Case Study

FedEx faced ongoing carrier compliance challenges around timely rate updates and frequent changes to labels, manifests, service types, and value-added services for U.S. origin shipments. Varsity Logistics addressed this need with its FedEx U.S. Carrier Compliance Kit (CCK) shipping application to transparently support FedEx Express and FedEx Ground requirements.

Varsity Logistics implemented the FedEx U.S. CCK, integrating via TCP/IP with the FedEx Rate Server (FSMS) to process rating transactions, generate tracking numbers, apply FedEx rules automatically, and upload electronic manifests daily; certified-compliant thermal labels and an optional export documentation module further automated required paperwork. As a FedEx Compatible Solutions Program Partner fully certified up to FSMS version 072x, Varsity Logistics delivered automated, accurate rating/labeling and daily manifesting that ensured compliance, kept rates and zones current, and improved timeliness across FedEx service types.
