As you may know the Procurement Department rolled out Amazon for Business as an available supplier in IC Marketplace. Since its inception we've seen more and more people utilizing this new offering, and we're ecstatic that you are able to easily find the products you need at a reasonable price all while making the best use of the free shipping options.
While the use of Amazon for Business in the Marketplace is gaining momentum, we are still seeing credit card transactions from Amazon orders placed outside of the Marketplace. Help us focus our purchasing power towards the capabilities and conveniences that the Marketplace has to offer. By purchasing through Amazon for Business in the Marketplace we will all be able to…
Save time. Ordering through the Marketplace removes the need to process credit card transactions in Parnassus.
Get better expense tracking. All Marketplace orders provide line item detail so you can easily see exactly what your money is being spent on.
Help make the College more financially successful. Purchasing through the Marketplace allows us to tally up all of our spend with Amazon increasing our ability to access greater value savings over time.
Empower our fellow browsers & buyers. Invite and encourage your teammates to join in on the fun by showing them how to request items through the marketplace. Not only will they have access to Amazon, but also to our entire portfolio of trusted suppliers.
Let's all make the best use of the efficiencies that IC Marketplace has to offer.
