Which system is used to set up a regularly scheduled FedEx Ground pickup for a new customer?

• A. use the FedEx Ground Pickup Request System (GPRS) in PRS
• B. Call Center Scheduling
• C. Online Third-Party Scheduler
• D. Manual Paperwork

Answer: (A)

Setting up a regularly scheduled pickup for a new customer is done through the FedEx Ground Pickup Request System (GPRS) within PRS. This tool is built to create and manage pickup requests, including recurring ones, and it links directly to the customer’s profile so the schedule is accurate, trackable, and billable. It captures the frequency, days, time window, and pickup location and routes the request into the correct driver and route, ensuring consistency and ease of future changes. Other methods—calling a center for scheduling, using an online third-party scheduler, or filling out manual paperwork—tend to handle only ad-hoc pickups, lack integrated data and billing linkage, or are slower and more error-prone, making them less suitable for provisioning a new recurring pickup.
