Amazon jobAmazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD) service is available for sellers using Amazon’s program which allows businesses to outsource order fulfillment to the company.

The sellers can use the pay-as-you-go service to store and distribute their inventory within Amazon’s fulfillment network.

Amazon will expand AWD to off-Amazon destinations as well in 2023. Sellers will be able to use AWD to send their inventory to any location, including to wholesale customers or brick-and-mortar stores — in 2023.

Amazon will be sharing more details about this service at Amazon Accelerate, its annual seller conference taking place September 14-15.

The development comes after Amazon said it has started slowing warehouse openings to rein in costs.
