Introduction:
The company which we choose for our Computer Applications for Business 1 is
FedEx. Reason behind it was that, it is a Multinational Corporation, doing business overall the
globe. And it has implemented the ERP (Read: Enterprise Recourse Planning) in the mid-90s
FedEx Corporation originally known as FDX Corporation is a logistics services company,
based in the United States with headquarters in Memphis, Tennessee. The name "FedEx" is a
syllabic abbreviation of the name of the company's original air division, Federal Express, which
was used from 1973 until 2000
Enterprise Recourse Planning (ERP) system is an integrated computer-based application used
to manage internal and external resources. Its main purpose is to regulate the flow of information
between all the business functions inside the organization and manage a stable connection with
the outside stakeholders. ERP is built on a centralized database and normally utilizing a common
computing platform, ERP systems consolidate all business operations into a uniform and
enterprise-wide system environment. ERP is an amalgamation of three most important
components; Business Management Practices, Information Technology and Specific
Business Objectives.

With FedEx, they can track in a variety of ways-by using their tracking number, by using their
account number and reference numbers online at the FedEx Web site or by using your personal email address. FedEx also offers Insight, which can track all of the packages and shipments
without a reference number or tracking number. This service is available to members of FedEx.
What the costumers have to do is that they need to have a FedEx account, a computer with
internet access, or give an email account (if they are willing to use email features). Once they
have done this, they are supposed to follow these steps.
Locate your tracking or reference number from your package airbill.
Navigate to the FedEx Web site.
Click on "Tracking," then "Track by Tracking Number" or "Track by Reference."
Enter the tracking number or reference number in the space provided. They can enter up
to 30 tracking or reference numbers at one time.
Click on "Track" to view the tracking information about their package.
Track using your personal e-mail address by addressing an e-mail to track@fedex.com.
Enter your tracking numbers, with no dashes or spaces in the body of the e-mail. Enter
one tracking number per line, with a maximum of 30 tracking numbers. Your numbers
should be the air bill number, followed by the country code and then the date of
shipment, for example: 123456789 us 021706. You will receive an e-mail back right
away with the tracking information.
