What is Amazon Business?
Amazon Business provides its users a purchasing solution for their registered business of any size. Each business can assign users who are allowed to go in and purchase business supplies on Amazon on behalf of their employers. The main administrator can add authorized users or remove them as needed, and manage payment methods, shipping addresses, approval workflows, reporting options and more, based on the needs of the business.
“We provide easy access to hundreds of millions of products – everything from IT equipment to janitorial supplies – to businesses of all sizes and across industries,” said Martin Rohde, director of the commercial vertical at Amazon Business.
Price savings and shipping options
Amazon Business offers exclusive price savings and shipping benefits for its registered business members. Anyone with a business account can purchase via Amazon.com. Account holders receive price breaks on multi-unit purchases, general price cuts on millions of business products, and the opportunity to compare prices from multiple sellers. You can even request quantity discounts from some sellers.
“We constantly hear from Amazon Business customers that our business-only prices across such a vast selection of products are key to solving their ‘tail spending’ challenges (money spent on nonplanned or managed supplies, spanning a broad range of categories),” Rohde said. “Tail spend can be costly and time-consuming for businesses, as it often requires managing hundreds or even thousands of different suppliers.”
