Seattle, WA — May 5, 2026
Amazon today officially rolled out Amazon Supply Chain Services (ASCS), a landmark expansion that opens the company’s entire global logistics infrastructure — including freight, distribution centers, fulfillment networks, and last-mile parcel shipping — to businesses of any size and across every industry, even those that have never sold a single item on Amazon’s marketplace.
The announcement positions Amazon’s world-class supply chain operations, originally built to power its own e-commerce empire, as a standalone paid service now available to retailers, healthcare providers, manufacturers, automotive companies, and others seeking enterprise-grade logistics without the need to list products on Amazon.com.
“This is about giving every business access to the same proven infrastructure that delivers millions of packages every day with speed and reliability,” said an Amazon spokesperson in a statement released this afternoon. “Whether you’re a small manufacturer in the Midwest, a healthcare distributor, or a large automaker, you can now tap into our global network on a pay-as-you-go basis.”
The new offering includes access to Amazon’s vast fulfillment centers equipped with advanced robotics and AI-driven sorting systems, multi-modal freight options (ocean, air, rail, and truck), customs brokerage services, and optimized last-mile delivery through Amazon’s delivery stations and partner carriers. Companies will be able to integrate ASCS directly into their existing ERP and warehouse management systems via new APIs, allowing seamless end-to-end visibility and control.
Industry analysts note that the move positions Amazon as a formidable competitor in the $1.3 trillion third-party logistics (3PL) market, long dominated by traditional players such as FedEx, UPS, and DHL. Early adopters already include major brands such as Procter & Gamble, 3M, and American Eagle Outfitters, which have begun piloting the service for non-Amazon fulfillment needs. The launch builds on Amazon’s existing logistics partnerships with hundreds of thousands of marketplace sellers while removing the previous requirement to sell on Amazon.com.
Amazon executives emphasized that ASCS leverages the same technology stack that powers Prime deliveries, including proprietary routing algorithms, predictive inventory placement, and sustainable packaging solutions. Initial pricing will be usage-based, with volume discounts for high-throughput clients, according to the company. The expansion comes as businesses across sectors face ongoing pressure to reduce logistics costs and improve supply-chain resilience in the wake of recent global disruptions.
By opening its network, Amazon aims to capture a larger share of enterprise logistics spending while further monetizing the infrastructure it has invested billions in over the past decade. The service is expected to appeal particularly to midsize manufacturers and distributors seeking the efficiency of Amazon’s network without the overhead of building their own facilities.
Amazon Supply Chain Services is now available for immediate enrollment through a dedicated enterprise portal, with dedicated account managers assigned to qualifying businesses. The company plans phased international rollouts later this year, starting with Europe and Asia-Pacific markets.
