The company is using the same fulfillment network for both the consumer and business sides, an Amazon spokesperson told Digital Commerce 360.

“What we’re able to do is leverage the same network as Amazon. com. However, it’s fit into the need set for Amazon Business customers,” the spokesperson told Digital Commerce 360. “Your deliveries arrive during set business hours.

From a business standpoint, the entire order remains a single checkout with a single invoice, the spokesperson told Digital Commerce 360.
