Armstrong & Associates’ Evaluation:

Contract logistics, freight forwarding and customs brokerage at FedEx are service businesses whose role is to support FedEx transportation. FedEx SCS has lost key business and is no longer a significant third-party contract logistics competitor. For FedEx, SCM is a value-added part of express, package, less-than-truckload and other operations.
