Supplier Spotlight with Amazon Business Today

Today - August 13 at 10:00am

Calling all UMBC buyers! Procurement & Strategic Sourcing is partnering with Amazon Business for the August Supplier Spotlight to help you start the fall semester off strong.

Join Kayla Capitanelli, your dedicated Amazon Business representative for UMBC, as she shares practical ways to streamline your purchasing process and get more out of your account. Learn how to take advantage of bulk-buying discounts, quickly find and reorder items from previous orders, and create and share shopping lists with your team for recurring orders.

Kayla will also share the new Single Sign-On (SSO) updated experience, preventing the need to remember your Amazon Business user name or password. Along the way, she'll share additional tips and time-saving features you may not be using.

Whether you're a seasoned Amazon Business user or just getting started, you'll leave with practical tips you can put to use right away.

As with all Supplier Spotlight sessions, there will be an opportunity to ask questions.  In addition, this session will be recorded and posted on Procurement's myUMBC site.

The link to attend can be found is https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/paw-procurement/events/154668/join_meeting.

Amazon Punchout is Down

Procurement was made aware of an issue with the Amazon punchout late yesterday.  Upon consultation with Amazon, it appears that there is a larger national outage and this is not specific to UMBC.  If you attempt to use Amazon in PAW, and it gives you an error, please try your order again letter. 

As soon as Procurement is aware that this issue has been resolved, another message will be sent.  Thank you for your patience.
