Any business can now move, store, and deliver everything from raw materials to finished products using the same supply chain that supports Amazon and its independent selling partners.
Nearly three decades ago, Amazon made a bet that fast, reliable delivery was more than just a perk—it was core to providing an exceptional shopping experience for consumers.
To deliver on that bet, Amazon began building what would become one of the most reliable and efficient supply chains on Earth—from freight that moves cargo across air, land, and sea, to fulfillment centers that pick and pack millions of orders a day, and a parcel shipping network that delivers packages every day of the week. Its success required long-term thinking, advanced technology, and relentless focus on execution.
This story may sound familiar. Amazon built another major offering—cloud infrastructure—for the same reason: to run its own business better. And then Amazon started selling it. That’s how Amazon Web Services (AWS) was born, and it’s transformed how the world builds and runs software. Now, Amazon is ready to do that for supply chain.
