Doug Gray, vice president of technology for Amazon Business, said the focus is on helping procurement teams move faster without sacrificing oversight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBusinesses need AI\u2019s speed without losing control,\u201d Gray said in the keynote. \u201cWe use AI to keep you in the driver\u2019s seat.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>AI Features Moving into Live Use<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Amazon Business Assistant<\/strong> \u2014 A generative AI guide built on Amazon Bedrock models that recommends catalog setup changes and more efficient buying patterns based on real-time spend data.<br \/>\n\u2022 <strong>Spend Anomaly Monitoring<\/strong> \u2014 Now available to Business Prime Enterprise and Unlimited accounts to flag unusual or non-compliant transactions.<br \/>\n\u2022 Additional updates enhance checkout-to-delivery workflows, including deferred delivery scheduling for large shipments, expanded palletized drop-offs, one-time password verification for higher-value orders, and unified delivery management across multiple locations.<br \/>\n\u2022 Pay-by-invoice controls and group-level oversight tools are now available in nine countries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Savings Insights \u2014 an AI feature that analyzes spending and recommends cost-saving actions \u2014 is planned for U.S. availability in late 2025.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Implications for Distributors<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Analysts say the rollout could accelerate a shift in how organizations source supplies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>AI is influencing SKU choice earlier<\/strong>, potentially redirecting purchases away from traditional distributors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compliance expectations are rising<\/strong>, pushing distributors to match enterprise-grade spend governance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Operational convenience becomes a battleground<\/strong> as Amazon embeds logistics capabilities such as scheduling and secure delivery.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data-driven procurement strengthens buyers\u2019 leverage<\/strong> in pricing and contracting negotiations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As organizations standardize digital buying and require greater accountability, automation is becoming a core procurement capability \u2014 not a pilot program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese innovations are part of our broader vision to help organizations buy smarter and operate more efficiently,\u201d Gray said.<\/p>\n<p>For distributors, the message is clear: purchasing decisions are speeding up, and AI is increasingly deciding where the expenditure goes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/distributionstrategy.com\/subscribe\/\">Don\u2019t miss any content from Distribution Strategy Group.
