(AWS), to offer additional Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions in AWS Marketplace. These solutions will include SaaS offerings in the areas of HVAC performance, sustainability, and safety and security. The collaboration is part of Carrier’s growing investment in digitally enabled lifecycle solutions designed to inspire confidence in the health and safety of indoor environments.
“Carrier is already delivering digital solutions like Abound and Lynx to its building and cold chain customers on AWS, and we see tremendous industry opportunities to do even more together,” says Bobby George, senior vice president & chief digital officer, Carrier. “The collaboration agreement between Carrier and AWS is a multi-year engagement that brings investments together to accelerate our digital capabilities, our go-to-market initiatives and deliver even more value to our customers through digital solutions.”
The collaboration agreement builds on Carrier’s ongoing work with AWS after joining the AWS Partner Network (APN) in 2021 to deliver digital solutions like Abound and Lynx to new types of customers. The Abound digital platform, powered by AWS, offers a suite of smart connected solutions for healthier, safer and more sustainable buildings.

Abound is installed across a wide range of verticals including commercial real estate, sports and entertainment venues, healthcare facilities, schools, hotels and retail.
Using AWS IoT Core, analytics and machine learning (ML) services, Carrier’s Lynx digital platform gives customers around the world enhanced visibility, increased connectivity and actionable intelligence across their cold chain operations to improve outcomes for temperature-sensitive cargo, including food, medicine and vaccines. Both Abound and Lynx were recognised by Fast Company as 2022 World Changing Ideas.
