Amazon Business serves more than five million businesses and generates $25 billion in worldwide annualized sales. With end-to-end integration into their own purchasing system via PunchOut, small, medium-sized and large enterprises alike benefit from the selection, even from within their eProcurement solution. In these so-called PunchOut integrations, the purchase experience must be initiated from the eProcurement solution, with the user “punching out” to Amazon Business’s store and creating a shopping cart that will be submitted for approval to their eProcurement software. The process typically takes 2.7 days to complete. Users, moreover, have to use different environments to search for products and need to be trained in the interaction of the multiple systems.


Integrated Search with Amazon Business, boosting your eProcurement system
Our latest innovation is to deliver an Integrated Search experience to all our business customers. The goal here again is to build a completely integrated Amazon Business search experience within any eProcurement system. With Integrated Search, Amazon Business gives buyers easy access to hundreds of millions of products within their system landscape, where they can benefit from business-only pricing and selection. They can search for relevant products, select the right ones from all the available product offers, and order as usual, in just a few steps.


Amazon Business's Integrated Search solution is a perfect add-on to our standard catalogues in Onventis and helps us to further increase our process efficiency on an international level.

Most purchases start with a search for a product. So why not search directly in your existing eProcurement system? Customers who have already launched this feature have expressed a “strong preference for Integrated Search over PunchOut.” With Integrated Search, users can search for an Amazon Business product while remaining within familiar system environments.
