Track and measure your procurement goals with customizable dashboards

Business Analytics helps Amazon Business customers research, create, save, and download reporting on your organization's Amazon purchasing based on your business needs. Spend Visibility enables you to take analytics a step further. Customers can rapidly uncover purchasing insights and analyze goals through interactive, visual, ready-to-use dashboards. 

Using the 'Analyses' feature simplifies the process of creating a custom dashboard. It allows you to slice and dice data as needed, making it easy to create visuals that meet your specific requirements.

Navigating default and pre-built dashboards

Managing permissions for custom dashboards

As a user of Spend Visibility, you'll either be a reader or an author. In order to build custom dashboards, you must have author permissions.

• A reader can view all dashboards, set favorites, and filter or drill down into dashboard data, whereas an author can do all this plus create new dashboards and analyses.
• Author roles are only available on Business Prime Small, Medium, and Enterprise plans.
