Motion Computing’s tablet PCs are in demand around the
world in places like hospitals, where the handheld com-
puters replace the loose papers and clipboards that chart
diagnosis and treatment.
To give customers immediate access to its industry-
changing 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 com-
pany 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.”
