l guess you could say that, but...

It is easier and more profitable for some companies to stick with sourcing, receiving, warehousing, order fulfillment, volume forecasting and farm out the sales, marketing, order taking, dealing with end customers.

It is easier and more profitable for other companies to take the orders and farm out the physical operations.

Sears, Montgomery Wards, and others used to do it all. There are fewer and fewer that can make a buck doing everything.
