Amazon opens up its global logistics network to all businesses

Amazon launched Amazon Supply Chain Services, opening its freight, fulfillment, distribution, and parcel shipping network to businesses of any size.

The service is aimed at industries like healthcare, automotive, manufacturing, and retail, with major brands including Procter & Gamble, 3M, Lands' End, and American Eagle Outfitters already on board.

The move turns Amazon into a broader logistics provider and adds a new revenue stream beyond e-commerce.

It also raises competitive pressure on established shipping and logistics companies such as UPS and FedEx.
