en.Wedoany.com Reported - Amazon has announced that it is opening its supply chain services to non-platform sellers, allowing manufacturing companies to now use Amazon's logistics network for freight, distribution, and parcel delivery. The company launched Amazon Supply Chain Services (ASCS), providing logistics support for businesses in retail, manufacturing, healthcare, and automotive industries, covering everything from first-mile to last-mile delivery. The network handles hundreds of millions of packages annually.

Amazon began building its logistics infrastructure about thirty years ago, initially to serve its own e-commerce business. The current network includes over 200 fulfillment centers in the United States and approximately 100,000 trailers, containers, and aircraft in its fleet, supporting air, ground, and ocean freight. Peter Larsen, Vice President of Amazon Supply Chain Services, stated that the company is making its proven infrastructure available to various industries. These capabilities include multimodal ground freight (with GPS tracking support), air freight, warehousing and fulfillment, as well as 2- to 5-day ground shipping (with delivery photo confirmation and return support). ASCS is built on Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), which has provided picking, packing, and shipping services for independent sellers since 2006.

There are already application cases in the manufacturing sector. Procter & Gamble uses Amazon's freight services to transport raw materials to production facilities; 3M uses the service to move products from manufacturing bases to global distribution centers; Lands' End leverages ASCS to unify inventory and fulfill orders across multiple channels. Andrew McLean, CEO of Lands' End, stated that the service places inventory closer to customers, allowing the company to serve customers more flexibly during peak seasons. ASCS enables businesses to select individual services based on operational needs without having to build their own logistics infrastructure, which is suitable for scenarios such as raw material distribution or commercial enterprises expanding customer reach.
