Amazon Business

Amazon Business is Amazon’s purchasing platform for companies, giving access to a broad catalog that includes parts, tools, and general supply alongside dedicated distributors. ProPay treats Amazon Business as one supplier in a real-time sourcing decision, not a system to read a claim from, Amazon Business doesn’t hold claim data, it holds parts.

What ProPay does with Amazon Business

When a claim needs a part, ProPay identifies the exact part required from technician notes and homeowner symptom detail, then searches across suppliers including Amazon Business to compare catalog listings, pricing, and shipping options.

What ProPay knows to search for at Amazon Business comes from the homeowner’s own SMS thread, model and serial numbers, photos, and symptom detail collected in a triage conversation with an 80 to 83 percent response rate, not a technician’s guess after the fact.

ProPay validates fit against the specific appliance model before ordering, places the order with whichever supplier, Amazon Business or another in the comparison, offers the best combination of price, fit, and shipping, then tracks it through delivery and return.

How the Amazon Business connection works

Amazon Business exposes a purchasing API, which is where ProPay compares price and shipping against dedicated parts distributors.

Where Amazon Business doesn’t expose an ordering interface ProPay can call directly, a Forward Deployed Engineer builds the connection during deployment so Amazon Business stays in the supplier comparison without manual lookup.

What stays with Amazon Business

Amazon Business’s own inventory, pricing, and fulfillment logistics stay exactly where Amazon Business manages them. ProPay doesn’t change how Amazon Business stocks or ships parts, it changes how often Amazon Business gets found as the best option for a given part.

Across existing parts operations, ProPay identifies roughly 12.6 percent procurement overspend against optimal supplier routing, comparisons that include Amazon Business alongside every other supplier in the network.

Throughput and data handling

Manual parts sourcing runs about 6 orders per agent hour; with ProPay comparing suppliers including Amazon Business automatically, that reaches 60. Order cycle time drops from 9 to 20 days down to under 10.

The comparison against Amazon Business runs on a company-specific ProPay instance, one client’s sourcing and pricing data are never accessible to another. ProPay is SOC 2 compliant, with both Type I and Type II audits complete.

Deploying the integration

A dedicated Forward Deployed Engineer sets up the Amazon Business connection alongside your existing supplier relationships, so Amazon Business is compared on equal footing with every other distributor in your network from day one.
