AMAZON BUILT A MASSIVE SUPPLY CHAIN FOR ITSELF. NOW IT'S FOR HIRE
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
Amazon has launched Amazon Supply Chain Services, a centralized place for companies to hire Amazon for services such as fulfillment, ocean and air shipping, and truck transportation. The offering puts Amazon in competition with transportation and warehousing giants such as DSV and DHL. The global market for third-party logistics is estimated to be more than $1.3 trillion. The move is a bet that Amazon can do for logistics what Amazon Web Services did for cloud computing.
