FDX, SAP WILL CO-DEVELOP SUPPLY CHAIN SOFTWARE

   FDX Corp. and German software giant SAP have joined to develop a suite of supply chain software solutions designed to allow one party to manage a company’s entire logistics operation.
   The FDX-SAP package will offer supply chain consulting provided by the FDX e Supply-chain Services and FDX WorldWide Services groups; supply chain planning and monitoring provided by SAP’s Advanced Planner and Optimizer supply chain software; and execution and transportation management provided by FDX.
   The new software suite marks an expansion of a development relationship formed by FDX subsidiary Federal Express and SAP in 1997.
