TikTok to rival Amazon with e-commerce logistics solution

TikTok is reportedly planning to build its own e-commerce fulfillment centres in the United States, in a move that could create an e-commerce supply chain system to rival Amazon.

According to several LinkedIn job postings, TikTok is looking to develop an e-commerce logistics solution that will include international warehousing, customs clearings and supply chain systems to support domestic e-commerce efforts in the U.S. and cross-border e-commerce efforts.

Last year, the Chinese-owned social media company began piloting a shopping feature in the US, Canada and the UK in a deal with Shopify.
