Amazon Business Restock brings replenishment services to business buyers

Amazon Business is introducing Amazon Business Restock, bringing business buyers two new replenishment services – Managed Inventory and Vending – to take the hassle out of restocking their worksites. With Amazon Business Restock, you can save time and money, offload inventory management, and increase reporting to right-size orders. Amazon Business technicians visit customer sites, deliver and order products based only on what you need, and restock items.

With the Managed Inventory service, Amazon Business technicians restock one or more stockrooms or similar areas within a worksite and can automatically reorder items to keep you supplied. This is available in select US cities and continuing to expand.

With the Vending service, you can control distribution of products at your business by tapping Amazon Business Restock vending machines. Your account administrators can set product quantity, user and spend limits, and your employees can either enter a code or scan an ID to access authorized items. The Amazon Business team and your account administrators receive an alert when an item is running low, so an order can be automatically placed to avoid stockouts. Vending is slated to roll out in early 2025.

Products are delivered and restocked in one appointment, and the continuous monitoring of inventory levels at the site and vending machine levels can give business leaders greater visibility into usage and spend data.

Amazon Business Restock is a customizable solution with a cadence and assortment tailored to your unique needs. If your business has multiple locations, each can have the same or different product assortment and restocking cadences. The Amazon Business team can also conduct space allocation exercises to help optimize efficiency for your teams’ needs.

“With Amazon Business Restock, we are raising the bar for what customers should expect from their suppliers. By using automated ordering capabilities and inventory reporting, we restock customers’ worksites with the supplies they need, backed by Amazon’s vast selection. As we invent and simplify for customers, I am so excited for Restock to become a core pillar of their smart business buying strategy,” said Cody Tolve, Amazon Business Head of Services.

In our Amazon Business store, you can find millions of business-relevant products. Discuss your product assortment needs with your Customer Advisor, who can share how Amazon Business Restock services can help with your replenishment needs.
