Microsoft has teamed with FedEx to develop technology that would help it and other companies ship products more efficiently.

Businesses can then use machine learning to predict delays in shipping due to storms, for example, and then change the routes they use.
Although FedEx has previously discussed similar kinds of so-called predictive logistics systems, a company spokesperson said the new service created with Microsoft has improved features, including weather alerts and better inventory management tools. FedEx declined to comment about which partners it previously worked with to create its older predictive logistics systems or why it switched to Microsoft.
