Why it matters

FedEx Corp. has taken another step in leveraging massive amounts of shipment data to create revenue beyond its own logistics network by sharing it with outside enterprises so they can improve their supply chain performance.

On Tuesday, FedEx Dataworks (NYSE: FDX) announced it is working with Stripe Capital to explore how supply chain intelligence could open opportunities for small-and medium businesses to secure financing. The news follows recent partnerships with ServiceNow and Dun & Bradstreet to turn FedEx operating signals into predictive insights and benchmarks embedded into customer workflows.

“Enterprises need access to real world logistics intelligence to power their AI systems and workflows and this partnership demonstrates market demand for what we have built,” said FedEx CEO Raj Subramaniam on the company’s Dec. 18 earnings call.
