Amazon Business supports regional sourcing
With the new "Shopping Locally" function , Amazon Business wants to support companies in finding and shopping with regional partners. When searching for local providers, those responsible for purchasing can use filters for the area and prices, explains Amazon Business. The resulting options and partners can then be seen by all employees in purchasing, and the analysis tools give those responsible an overview of the expenses and compliance with the company goals. The new free feature is also available in the UK, France and Italy after the trial period. Various companies that used "Local Shopping" in the test phase stated that 50 percent of their Amazon Business shopping budget was spent on the new function.
