Amazon Business – another way to save company money
Amazon Business is changing the way companies buy supplies. Amazon has completely changed how consumers shop online. They are more or less the de facto standard for an online shopping experience.
Finding the best product at the best price with the most convenient payment terms can be a challenge, especially when they have other tasks that need to be completed. Amazon Business is the solution and brings big benefits to businesses of all sizes and industries.
Amazon Business is a business-to-business marketplace that combines selection, convenience and the value customers around the world have come to know and love from Amazon, with additional business-specific features including bulk pricing, Pay by Invoice*, downloadable VAT invoices and spend management tools.
For the business buyer, Amazon Business allows you to find the right suppliers and buy your products as a business would (e.g. in bulk). If you’re a seller, Amazon Business gives you a new channel for B2B sales–just like third-party merchants can sell on Amazon Marketplace. Amazon Business also includes extra features that are necessary for B2B selling, like account management and multi-user support.
In this marketplace, multiple sellers compete for purchases on common stock keeping units (SKUs) on the most favorable terms for customers. It’s like a “reverse auction” where customers save time, money and hassle in the process.
