Aramex Partners with AWS to Turbocharge Digital Transformation
Global logistics and express delivery heavyweight Aramex has announced a renewed strategic collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) aimed at accelerating the company’s digital transformation and modernizing its IT backbone.
The partnership is poised to reshape how Aramex operates globally, with cloud-based agility, data-driven services, and scalable infrastructure at its core.
At the heart of the initiative is the migration of Aramex’s key workloads and data center operations to AWS’s cloud infrastructure. The first visible milestone of this multi-year journey is the successful migration of Aramex’s Oceania data center to AWS, which involved transferring 88 virtual machines (18 dedicated to databases and 70 to application workloads).
By shifting to AWS’s cloud-native ecosystem, Aramex aims to build a future-ready and resilient architecture that supports faster innovation, better performance, and enhanced security. The company will lean on AWS services to strengthen operational agility, derive deeper insights from data, and deliver more seamless customer experiences at scale.
Françoise Russo, Aramex’s Chief Digital & Technology Officer said: “Our collaboration with AWS is a foundation pillar of our global innovation and modernization strategy.
"By migrating our infrastructure to AWS, the world’s leading cloud provider, we are not just optimizing costs and enhancing security; we are building a more agile, scalable, and resilient foundation for our future of logistics."
Tanuja Randery, Vice President of AWS, Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) added: “Logistics is an industry transforming at pace. Data and AI are enabling both efficiency and growth, and AWS is delighted to support a global leader like Aramex in its transformation.”
“By leveraging AWS’s world-leading cloud capabilities, Aramex can enhance its operational efficiency, strengthen security, and unlock new opportunities for innovation."
The migration is more than just a lift-and-shift - it’s an architectural shift. Aramex intends to incorporate AWS’s disaster recovery, identity management, and scalable infrastructure solutions to meet rigorous performance and security requirements across its global operations.
The partnership also aligns closely with the rising wave of AI and cloud investment in logistics. As firms globally increase AI spending to digitize operations, Aramex’s AWS platform will serve as a backbone for future AI-driven services in route optimization, demand forecasting, dynamic pricing, and customer personalization.
This isn’t the first time Aramex has turned to AWS. In previous phases of its digital evolution, the company built a big data platform leveraging AWS’s machine learning tools, which reportedly boosted its shipment-date prediction accuracy by 74 percent.
Industry watchers see this renewed partnership as a significant step forward. Logistics businesses increasingly require cloud-first, data-centric platforms to stay competitive amid rising customer expectations and operational complexity.
Aramex’s move sets a benchmark in the Middle East and beyond, signaling that logistics operators must embed digital in their DNA rather than treat it as ancillary.
As the AWS-Aramex alliance unfolds in the coming years, the real test will be execution: maintaining service continuity, managing security across geographies, and converting the cloud’s promise into improved customer outcomes.
If the early migration results are any indication, Aramex is staking its future on the cloud and betting that logistics will be defined by data as much as by delivery.
