Over the past year, we have been closely working with our selling partners to help businesses cater to their **work from home needs** by adding thousands of products across categories such as WFH furniture, electronic essentials like routers, headphones, keyboards and office stationary. \n\nWith the current environment in mind, We are committed to helping and supporting organizations and their employees to stay safe by creating a dedicated COVID Supply Store through which businesses can buy range of essential products like PPE kits, masks, face shields and sanitizers. It has been our continued effort to empower businesses navigate through such challenging times by helping them become more efficient and reduce their cost of procurement. This is enabled through a host of features we have added such as multi-users account feature to enhance account security and compliance, shared payment methods, business analytics tool and a monthly savings event – Business Value Days.\n\nWe are grateful to our MSME customers who trusted Amazon Business for all their purchase requirements, as we strive to do even better at serving them.","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"About Amazon","url":"https://www.aboutamazon.com","sameAs":["https://x.com/amazonnews","https://www.linkedin.com/company/amazon","https://www.instagram.com/amazonnews"],"logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://assets.aboutamazon.com/bd/8f/88e7b0314cc2bd05b9de3155a0fe/amazon-news.svg"},"parentOrganization":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Amazon","url":"https://www.amazon.com","sameAs":["https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3884","https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_(company)","https://x.com/Amazon"]}}}
