Now that we have OpenBazaar for the front end of retail how about a decentralized platform for the other levels?

Shipping:
A network of people who can move an item from point A to point B.

Distribution:
Connect your OpenBazaar store to a distribution network. People receive the goods and store the items (people could have boxes in a spare bedroom or garage space, etc). When a purchase is made they ship it off to the buyer via the shippers.

Distribution centers:
Large shipments from wholesalers come into one location then get broken up into smaller amounts and sent to distributors dispersed geographically (possibly using the shippers).

Wholesale:
People pool their funds together to buy items in bulk that are selling well on OpenBazaar getting a discount for buying more. They have the bulk order sent off to a distribution center. As the items are sold on OpenBazaar they get reimbursed.

Being an open ledger, each item can be followed publicly from wholesale purchase to retail purchase.

Thoughts?
