Amazon Expands Logistics Reach With Supply Chain Services Launch

Amazon announced the launch of Amazon Supply Chain Services, a new platform that opens its logistics infrastructure to businesses beyond its own marketplace, marking a strategic expansion of its fulfillment and transportation capabilities.

The offering allows companies to access Amazon’s end-to-end supply chain network — including freight, warehousing, distribution, and last-mile delivery — which has been built and scaled over decades to support its global e-commerce operations.

The move positions Amazon to compete more directly in the third-party logistics sector, offering integrated solutions to industries ranging from retail and manufacturing to healthcare and automotive. The company said the service is designed to help businesses streamline operations, reduce complexity, and improve delivery speed and reliability.

Early adopters include major global brands such as Procter & Gamble, 3M, Lands’ End, and American Eagle Outfitters, which are already leveraging elements of Amazon’s logistics network across freight, inventory management, and parcel delivery.

Amazon said its transportation infrastructure includes more than 80,000 trailers, 24,000 intermodal containers, and over 100 aircraft, enabling multi-modal shipping across ocean, air, rail, and ground. The system is supported by AI-driven forecasting tools and large-scale operational data aimed at optimizing inventory placement and delivery efficiency.

The initiative reflects a broader strategy to monetize internal infrastructure — a model previously established with Amazon Web Services — by offering core operational capabilities as standalone products.
