Amazon Business empowers educational institutions by simplifying the procurement process and maximizing budgets across early childhood, K-12, and higher education. Administrators gain access to a user-friendly buying tool that streamlines purchasing, provides spend visibility, and offers a wide selection of products with business pricing, allowing educators to focus more on their core mission of teaching.

Educational institutions benefit from streamlined approval workflows between teachers and principals, reducing administrative time and improving efficiency. By centralizing purchases in one location, administrators can ensure all purchases remain policy-compliant and secure while eliminating lengthy procurement processes.
