Shipping direct from China puts Motion Computing’s products into customers’ hands fast.



Motion Computing’s tablet PCs are in demand around the world in places like hospitals, where the handheld computers replace the loose papers and clipboards that chart diagnosis and treatment. To give customers immediate access to its industrychanging technology, Motion Computing uses FedEx to ship products from the factory in Shanghai, China, directly to North America and to countries in the European Union — by operating the industry’s first direct link between mainland China and Europe.

“FedEx capabilities have been instrumental in helping us achieve our business objectives and greater efficiencies in our business model,” said Jerome Kearns, vice president of global product fulfillment at Motion Computing. “The FedEx direct-ship programs from China to our distribution channel and to our end customers help Motion expand globally at an accelerated pace and in a cost-effective manner.”

Since Motion Computing was founded by industry veterans in 2002, it has won customers in 18 countries. Among its competitive advantages: Customers can order its tablet PCs with the exact features to suit their needs — and get them shipped overnight. Forty percent of sales come from healthcare clients. ‘Specially for Children, a pediatric hospital in Austin, Texas, has equipped its staff with tablet PCs to help minimize paperwork, so physicians and nurses can focus more on the children’s care. For kids in Austin who need medical attention, the technology can make a
big difference.

And for startups like Motion Computing, the strategic relationship with FedEx makes all the difference. “The unique capabilities that FedEx offers can help any company go global,” said Kearns. “From shipping choices to understanding international import and export rules and
regulations, FedEx can help reduce total cost as well as lead times — a winning combination for both company and customer.”
