As ecommerce grows more complex, Amazon sellers face rising logistics costs, fragmented systems, and operational inefficiencies.
Supply Chain by Amazon is designed to simplify this complexity by offering an integrated approach to transportation, storage, distribution, and fulfillment—all within Amazon’s ecosystem.

What Is Supply Chain by Amazon?
Supply Chain by Amazon is a collection of services that can be used individually or together as an end-to-end supply chain solution.
Core components include:
- Amazon Global Logistics (AGL)
- Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD)
- Partner Carrier Program (PCP)
- Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)
- Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF)
When combined, Amazon manages inventory flow from manufacturer to customer.
Key Benefits for Amazon Sellers
Lower Storage Costs
AWD offers bulk storage with discounted rates and no seasonal surcharges.
Automated Replenishment
Inventory is moved to FBA based on real sales velocity, not guesswork.
Multi-Channel Expansion
MCF allows sellers to fulfill non-Amazon orders using the same inventory.
Operational Time Savings
Sellers report saving hours weekly by reducing manual inbound coordination.
Who Should Consider Supply Chain by Amazon?
This solution is ideal for sellers who:
- Manage large or growing SKUs
- Operate across multiple sales channels
- Want to reduce 3PL dependency
- Struggle with inventory planning
- Are scaling internationally
However, it’s not one-size-fits-all. Strategic planning is essential.
