Introducing Amazon Supply Chain Services: Amazon's logistics network...

• https://www.aboutamazon.com, by Amazon Staff

Any business can now move, store, and deliver everything from raw materials to finished products using the same supply chain that supports Amazon and its independent selling partners.

Nearly three decades ago, Amazon made a bet that fast, reliable delivery was more than just a perk—it was core to providing an exceptional shopping experience for consumers.

To deliver on that bet, Amazon began building what would become one of the most reliable and efficient supply chains on Earth—from freight that moves cargo across air, land, and sea, to fulfillment centers that pick and pack millions of orders a day, and a parcel shipping network that delivers packages every day of the week. Its success required long-term thinking, advanced technology, and relentless focus on execution.

This story may sound familiar. Amazon built another major offering—cloud infrastructure—for the same reason: to run its own business better. And then Amazon started selling it. That's how Amazon Web Services (AWS) was born, and it's transformed how the world builds and runs software. Now, Amazon is ready to do that for supply chain.

Today, Amazon is announcing Amazon Supply Chain Services (ASCS), opening its full portfolio of freight, distribution, fulfillment, and parcel shipping capabilities to businesses of all types and sizes, not only Amazon sellers. With this launch, Amazon is expanding its third-party logistics capacity to support businesses in industries such as healthcare, automotive, manufacturing, and retail.

"Amazon is bringing the infrastructure, intelligence, and scale of its supply chain services—proven over decades—to businesses everywhere, much like Amazon Web Services did for cloud computing," said Peter Larsen, vice president of Amazon Supply Chain Services. "Supply chain wasn't just a function at Amazon—it was core to providing an exceptional shopping experience. Our differentiator. The reason we could offer fast, dependable delivery that nobody else could. And with the launch of ASCS, we're confident we can give any other business access to the same cost efficiency, reliability, and speed that we've built for Amazon customers."
