Shipping goods across borders can be frustrating. There’s paperwork, customs, tracking, and delays. Execution is often delayed due to the complexity and number of integrated systems..
But it doesn’t have to be this hard.
With FedEx International Priority DirectDistribution® (IPD) and ShipConsole, companies using Oracle cloud ERP can streamline global shipping.
What Is FedEx IPD?
FedEx IPD helps you send a large shipment to one country and then deliver the items locally. Instead of shipping many small packages, you combine them into one.
It’s like shipping everything in one big box, clearing customs just once, and delivering the items faster and cheaper.
Why businesses love it:
- Clears customs one time, saving days
- Cuts down on paperwork and fees
- Helps track everything easily
- Works well for companies with many orders
How the FedEx IPD Process Works
Here’s how a FedEx IPD shipment typically goes:
- Start a Consolidation
Consolidate all items destined for the same country into a single shipment. - Add Orders
Add all your packages to the main shipment using a simple step. - Edit or Remove if Needed
Need to make changes? You can update or delete before confirming. - Confirm It
Once ready, you confirm the shipment and get a Job ID. - Handle Customs Documents
Shipments over $2,500 require AES filing; certify documents are correct to avoid delays.
Doing this by hand? That’s where mistakes happen. You need a better way.
Why ShipConsole Makes It Easy

Big Problems ShipConsole Solves
Oracle alone isn’t built for shipping. ShipConsole fixes that.
| Problem | Without ShipConsole | With ShipConsole |
|---|---|---|
| Entering data by hand | Slow and full of mistakes | Pulls data directly from Oracle |
| Customs documents | Hard to manage | Created for you automatically |
| Shipment tracking | Not clear | Real-time updates in Oracle |
| FedEx IPD not supported | Manual setup needed | Full support with automation |
Other tools may support FedEx. But they don’t offer full Oracle and IPD support like ShipConsole does.
