I've never tried it but I think there is quite a bit in OFBiz that could be re-used for this purpose. Orders, invoices, and payments already have the design built in of "partyIdFrom" and "partyIdTo". All sellers could be set up as internal organizations so they can own facilities to fulfill orders. I think you could get pretty far just through configuration. Of course you would need to build the ecommerce front end but that is mostly UI work.
