SINGAPORE: Amazon Singapore said on Thursday (May 7) that it would phase out its local fulfilment services, including its Amazon Fresh grocery delivery service. It will also stop working with Singapore-based sellers on Amazon.sg, effectively ending local vendor participation on the platform.
The decision will result in layoffs affecting “less than 10 per cent” of the company’s total workforce in Singapore, it said in response to CNA’s queries.
Amazon employs 2,500 people across its cloud, corporate, retail, and technology functions in Singapore, and the “vast majority” of roles are unaffected, it added.
The tech giant said it was working closely with affected employees, including helping them find new roles within Amazon where possible.
