The company launched the Web page last month for Hong Kong and Taiwanese shippers. A customer, by entering the tracking number, can receive package status information for up to 25 shipments simultaneously and forward the detailed tracking results to up to three e-mail addresses.
FedEx Asia Pacific president Michael Ducker said research showed Asia would become the second largest e-commerce market in the world behind North America by early next decade.
Because Asia was not burdened by old technology or legacy systems, it would adapt easily to the latest technology and become the bright light of the business world.
Asia was putting the right amount of emphasis on technology and the region remained the world's leading manufacturing base. It made sense to make the supply chain efficient in this part of the world.
FedEx was well positioned in e-commerce to take advantage of this growth, he said, adding that 70 per cent of FedEx's shipping transactions were now on-line and the company was working towards achieving as close to 100 per cent as possible.
