Description

Shipping costs are an important factor for both individuals and companies, especially in industries like healthcare where medical material should be delivered quickly and reliably. While working as an intern at Avera Health in the Supply Chain logistics team, I was introduced to the challenge of the high cost of delivering medical supplies to different patient locations. Shipping prices vary depending on distance, route direction, and service type. Using real-time data from the FedEx API allows for more accurate analysis of shipping costs and helps identify opportunities to optimize delivery decisions and reduce logistics expenses.
