📦 Amazon's Supply Chain Service Launch
Amazon has launched its new fully-managed Supply Chain by Amazon service, designed to revolutionize supply chain management for sellers. This service offers an end-to-end solution, allowing sellers to move products from manufacturers to customers efficiently. Since its announcement, Amazon has made the service available, enabling sellers to optimize inventory placement and enjoy faster delivery speeds, which have been shown to boost sales by 20% on average.
🚚 Speed and Efficiency at Lower Costs
Amazon's Supply Chain service helps sellers leverage Amazon’s vast logistics network, reducing shipping times and costs. For example, Amazon’s domestic logistics services in 19 countries now allow sellers to book transportation at up to 25% lower costs compared to other providers. In the U.S. alone, sellers have used Amazon’s services to send 2B product units into their fulfilment network since last year, demonstrating significant scale and efficiency.
📈 New Multi-Channel Distribution Feature
Amazon has introduced a new Multi-Channel Distribution (MCD) feature for its Warehousing and Distribution service. This feature helps sellers distribute products in bulk across various sales channels from a single inventory pool, reducing stock needs by 20% on average and preventing stockouts. MCD also supports custom labeling, making it easier for sellers to manage inventory across multiple sales platforms, which leads to better sales and customer satisfaction.
💼 Simplifying Seller Operations
Amazon's fully-managed Supply Chain service simplifies operations for sellers, handling everything from inventory consolidation to strategic replenishment. Sellers benefit from Amazon’s expertise and discounted rates on warehousing and transportation, further reducing costs. Steve Neufer, co-founder of Juvo+, highlighted the positive impact on his business, saying, "The speed and reliability of Amazon’s logistics services have doubled our sales conversions." By offloading supply chain complexities to Amazon, sellers can focus on innovation and customer satisfaction.
