Big shippers like UPS and FedEx Ground have been embracing tracking data as a way to cope with and grow with the prolonged boom in online shopping, even as they work to give customers more specific options for home delivery. “As technology has evolved, so has what we scan,” said Kevin Koken, vice president of the FedEx Ground’s eastern region, which covers the New England and Mid-Atlantic areas. He noted that FedEx developed the first bar code used for shipping purposes in 1985. [/QUOTE]
