Amazon has launched Amazon Supply Chain Services (ASCS), a logistics network that gives businesses access to its freight, distribution, fulfillment, and parcel shipping solutions. The service was originally developed to power Amazon's own retail operations and support independent selling partners worldwide. Procter & Gamble, 3M, Lands' End, and American Eagle Outfitters are already using the network. ASCS provides capacity, high standards, and AI capability, with over a million robots in operation and significant investments in AI, automation, and robotics. Amazon is also broadening its reach with a $4 billion investment to triple its delivery network by the end of 2026, focusing on small towns and rural areas. This move is expected to have significant ramifications for the industry, according to a Morgan Stanley research note.
