Retail giant Amazon announced Monday that it will open its global logistics network to other businesses through a new offering called Amazon Supply Chain Services.
The company will offer its shipping, fulfillment, and delivery services to businesses across various industries, including retail, healthcare, and manufacturing. Several large corporations have already signed on to the service.
By opening its supply chain networks, the e-commerce giant is betting it can turn its logistics operations into the next AWS. This move pits Amazon directly against competitors such as UPS and FedEx.
