Amazon Business launches new “3-Way Match” software solution to save customers time and money

Starting today, Amazon Business customers can implement 3-Way Match, our latest end-to-end software solution that streamlines the purchasing process across product receiving, order reconciliation, and invoice payment. Visit your business account settings to start using 3-Way Match or contact a customer advisor to get started with a free Amazon Business account today.

Manually managing, tracking, and reconciling a 3-way match can be time consuming, prone to mistakes, and can result in either late invoice payments or potential account suspensions. With 3-Way Match, customers can automatically coordinate the purchase order (PO) against the product information from the receiving and confirmation feature, as well as the product’s invoice details, such as price and quantity—driving each PO to a close quickly.

“For a long time, customers have spent hours manually managing, tracking, and reconciling purchases. With the new launch of 3-Way Match, we’re looking forward to helping more organizations automate, simplify, and save time. Innovating industry-leading procurement solutions on behalf of our customers is our North Star vision and 3-Way Match is a key step on that journey.” 

— Doug Gray, Vice President of Technology, Amazon Business
