Our business customers have different needs than the traditional Amazon customer and we are reinventing everything from how we display our selection, how sellers price their products, and how we provide the right customer experience. We aim to make B2B procurement as seamless as consumer shopping by solving unique enterprise needs in vendor management, pricing, payments, and procurement workflows.
