Amazon Business: The Perfect One-Stop Shop for Procurement
Procurement teams are judged not just on cost savings but on speed, compliance and supplier transparency.
Amazon Business has evolved into a place for organisations looking to simplify buying. It pairs the familiar Amazon retail experience with business-grade controls, account management and integrations that make it a one-stop business shop.
What sets Amazon Business apart is its scale and convenience. Buyers get access to a huge catalogue that spans office supplies, IT hardware, safety equipment, MRO and even specialised industrial goods – all from a single portal.
It reduces the need for multiple vendor relationships and cuts administrative overhead. For busy procurement teams, fewer purchase channels means fewer exceptions to manage and more consistent compliance with buying policies.
A decade of growth
2025 marked a decade of Amazon Business, which now actively serves eight million organisations around the world, excluding emerging markets.
Shelley Salomon, Global Vice President for Amazon Business, says: "When organisations partner with Amazon Business, they're not just shopping–they're streamlining their supply chain while saving time and money through powerful tools designed specifically for business needs.
"From local entrepreneurs to multinational companies, we deliver what matters most: access to hundreds of millions of items worldwide, significant cost savings year-round and even more convenient delivery helping organisations save time and money, reduce complexity and ultimately grow."
Amazon Business has helped drive millions in savings for US companies – spanning purchases from thousands of paper reams to hundreds of computer accessories, laboratory supplies and construction materials. The masses of savings on offer allow organisations to redirect funds back into their operations.
Tailored solutions from startups to enterprises
Amazon Business offers solutions for businesses of all sizes.
Its Prime Enterprise plan, tailored for large organisations, offers unlimited users access to fast, free shipping along with robust management capabilities. These tools include Spend Visibility for tracking purchasing patterns, Spend Anomaly Monitoring for detecting unusual spending activity and Guided Buying to steer employees towards compliant purchasing practices and preferred vendors.
Small business customers across the US can unlock extra value through Business Prime Rewards, earning up to 4% cashback on Amazon-branded products. Additional savings are available via the Amazon Business Prime American Express Card and exclusive Prime member offers that aren't available to regular customers.
Amazon Business provides competitive pricing, extensive product selection and streamlined purchasing alongside a broad supplier network, dependable worldwide logistics, smart automation capabilities and flexible workflow options.
The platform serves organisations right across across the business spectrum, from startups to large enterprises, including hundreds of thousands of small businesses around the world.
"Small business owners wear a lot of hats – accountant, HR manager, IT lead – sometimes all before lunch," says Todd Heimes, VP at Amazon Business.
"We're thrilled to introduce new Business Prime benefits that help them work smarter, save money, and get back to what they love most: running their business."
Fertitta Entertainment's success story
Amazon Business works with some of the biggest businesses in the world, such as Fertitta Entertainment.
The company integrated Amazon Business into its procurement strategy in a move designed to streamline purchasing and achieve a flexible supply chain with fast delivery.
"Our locations really embraced adding Amazon Business to their purchasing process," explains Rick Liem, CFO at Fertitta Entertainment.
"It's helped us keep up with demand as we grow and respond quickly to urgent needs without losing sight of our budget. We're able to get what we need quickly, stay organised and make smarter decisions with our spending."
