My guess is 3rd party logistics. If you follow amazon, you see 3pl logistics's share of the company revenue growing. And they ordered a place at 2015 in an important supply chain convention.

They will probably be announcing some sort of global supply chain and fulfillment service.

And the building blocks look interesting: robots, amazon level customer service and fulfillment, better supplier financing(enabled by sales data), global handling services(customs ,etc), offering better IT tools(for example demand prediction, A/B testing globally), Advertising deals on the amazon platform, etc. Almost like telling the manufacturer: you just build stuff, we'll do the rest for you.

If this guess is true, seeing all this packaged would be very interesting.
