“From lawn mowers to refrigerators, to crayons, we get everything we need from Amazon Business. The convenience, ease of use, and all the different choices available - all of it is great. We have three center directors that use the account; I just see the purchases, approve them, and they’re delivered. It’s just hard to beat that value proposition for us.”

"Tyler’s School ERP Pro Punch-in feature, integrated with Amazon Business, has made a noticeable difference in Township High School District 214. This feature enables users to initiate their purchasing journey directly in Amazon Business, circumventing the need to start in Tyler’s School ERP Pro eCommerce module. The improvement in process efficiency is clear, with less clicks to complete an order while maintaining rigorous compliance policies."
