COMPETITOR ANALYSIS: 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.The most powerful and direct competitor of quantum solution is FedEx. You can find below the major strength and weakness of FedEx. Strength: Improvement in wireless technologyFedEx is looking into wireless technology to cut costs and improve customer service. In Asia, it's experimenting with a digital/ink pen called Anoto Chatpen. The cigar-sized device, made by Ericsson, uses Bluetooth wireless technology to transport written information, such as a signature or an address, into a database. The InternetFedEx.com gets about 4.5 million unique visitors a month, which is saving the company $25 million each month by eliminating human involvement in processing package tracking requests.

FedEx Express currently holds certificates of authority to serve more foreign countries than any other U.S. all-cargo air carriersFedEx has an opportunity to offer single-carrier service to many points not served by its principal competitors.

Weakness:
