Amazon is opening its entire logistics network—freight, distribution, fulfillment, and parcel shipping capabilities—to every business, of all types and sizes

  • Amazon has launched Supply Chain Services, opening its logistics network to all businesses (not just Amazon sellers).
  • Businesses can use Amazon for end-to-end operations: moving goods from factories, storing inventory, and delivering to customers.
  • It supports multiple transport modes—air, ocean, rail, and trucking—making it a full logistics solution.
  • The service works across platforms (e.g., even if selling outside Amazon).

What Amazon is really doing:
Turning its massive internal logistics system into a paid service, similar to how AWS came from its cloud infrastructure.

Bottom line:
Amazon is positioning itself as a global third-party logistics (3PL) provider, competing directly with traditional shipping and supply chain companies.
