FedEx Corp. confirmed last week it is consolidating its operating companies to cut costs. The transport and delivery service company will combine them all to form just one organization and expect to save billions from the move.
As per Reuters, the consolidation is part of FedEx’s $4 billion push to cut overhead costs and have a better operating structure. The company also expects the change to bring about even greater flexibility, improve efficiency, and alleviate value for customers, stockholders, and employees.
The Memphis, Tennessee-based transport giant said that the savings it will get from the merging of its delivery units will give it permanent savings of $4 billion by the end of the fiscal year 2025. Last month, company executives revealed that they are already right on their way to hitting a $1 billion permanent cost reduction of $1 billion this fiscal year ending May 31, thus it is very possible for FedEx to reach its goal amount in two years.
The units that will be combined into one organization are FedEx Express, FedEx Services, FedEx Ground, and other FedEx operating companies. The said units will become a single company, and the transition with full implementation is set to be completed by June 2024. Once merged, they will be operating under Federal Express Corporation, and Raj Subramaniam, the company’s current chief executive officer, was chosen to lead it.
“Over the last 50 years, we built networks that have created a differentiated and unmatched portfolio of services,” the FedEx Corp. CEO said in a press release. “This organizational evolution reflects how we represent ourselves in the marketplace – focused on flexibility, efficiency, and intelligence.”
He added, “As one FedEx team, we are well positioned to execute on our mission to help customers compete and win with the world’s smartest logistics network.”
