With this new feature, the nearly 1 million active users on the Amazon Business mobile app in the U.S. have a faster way to close purchase orders.\n\nAmazon Business helps businesses digitize and automate procurement with management controls and analytic tools. Among those tools is 3-Way Match, a common accounting control to ensure that a business’ purchase payments are received, accurate, and complete. Until now, it was cumbersome to use because it was only available on desktop or via handheld scanners. The mobile version adds the extra flexibility of being able to complete a 3-Way Match in real-time from anywhere. A successful 3-Way Match includes matching and verifying the purchase order, the invoice, and the receipt before a payment is made.\n\n“Manual processes cannot be scaled efficiently, especially for large organizations,” said Doug Gray, vice president of technology at Amazon Business. “Integrating our 3-Way Match capability on the Amazon Business mobile app simplifies the process so customers can reconcile their purchases in seconds. At Amazon, we’re driven to find better ways for our customers to work, and our 3-Way Match mobile scan does just that.”\n\nWith 3-Way Match, accounts payable and procurement teams can protect their organization from paying for incorrect invoices, items not yet received, or fraudulent purchases. This helps businesses of all sizes improve efficiency and reporting capabilities while also reducing time spent on manual data entry and avoiding payment for damaged or incorrect packages.\n\nCustomers can download the <a href=https://consumergoods.com/"https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fbusiness.amazon.com%2Fen%2Ffind-solutions%2Fmobile-app&esheet=53354860&newsitemid=20230302005275&lan=en-US&anchor=Amazon+Business+mobile+app&index=1&md5=9731ecc28da58beb650c720aab6628fc\%22 target=\"_blank\">Amazon Business mobile app</a> by visiting <a href=https://consumergoods.com/"https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Dcom.amazon.mShop.android.business.shopping%26hl%3Den_SG%26gl%3DUS&esheet=53354860&newsitemid=20230302005275&lan=en-US&anchor=Google+Play+store+for+Android+users&index=2&md5=e102b6ce020753c27f9cd904a17324b9\%22 target=\"_blank\">Google Play store for Android users</a> or the <a href=https://consumergoods.com/"https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fapps.apple.com%2Fus%2Fapp%2Famazon-business%2Fid1498197033&esheet=53354860&newsitemid=20230302005275&lan=en-US&anchor=Apple+App+store+for+iOS+users&index=3&md5=bbd1287d2e965cc19efd4de5b428f0b3\%22 target=\"_blank\">Apple App store for iOS users</a> and get started with 3-Way Match.

Tyson Ventures Invests in Cloud-Based Carbon Tracking Technology
Tyson Ventures, the venture capital arm of Tyson Foods, Inc., has invested in a cloud-based transactional carbon credit inset solution for the livestock sector. The program works to support the reduction of carbon emissions, providing economic incentives to farmers who take action to boost sustainability and enable more eco-friendly practices in their day-to-day work.

Tyson Ventures has invested in Athian, an analytics tool that captures data points across the dairy and beef value chain, then aggregates, validates, and certifies greenhouse gas reductions. The platform then finally monetizes the reductions and sells them as carbon credits, allowing farmers to earn revenue from carbon reductions. The program is set to launch in the latter half of this year.

Tyson Foods has drilled down on tech investments over the last few years. In a webinar presented by CGT, Devin Graham, VP of cloud and infrastructure at Tyson Foods, outlined some of the company’s key cloud transformations, including plans to reduce manual processes, streamline workflows, and do away with legacy practices, given that Tyson did not start out as a cloud-native or even tech-centric company. In 2021, Tyson also invested in artificial intelligence and predictive analytics, bolstering investments in automation and advanced tech to make jobs safer and cut costs.

Amazon Business Launches 3-Way Match for Mobile App
Amazon Business announced the launch of 3-Way Match on the Amazon Business mobile app to help business customers automate reporting, taking the old desktop or handheld scanner reporting to the app.

Now available in the U.S., the new 3-Way Match app enables account administrators and approved buyers to use a mobile device to simply scan the barcode of a package when it arrives and automatically mark the item as received. With this new feature, the nearly 1 million active users on the Amazon Business mobile app in the U.S. have a faster way to close purchase orders.

Amazon Business helps businesses digitize and automate procurement with management controls and analytic tools. Among those tools is 3-Way Match, a common accounting control to ensure that a business’ purchase payments are received, accurate, and complete. Until now, it was cumbersome to use because it was only available on desktop or via handheld scanners. The mobile version adds the extra flexibility of being able to complete a 3-Way Match in real-time from anywhere. A successful 3-Way Match includes matching and verifying the purchase order, the invoice, and the receipt before a payment is made.

“Manual processes cannot be scaled efficiently, especially for large organizations,” said Doug Gray, vice president of technology at Amazon Business. “Integrating our 3-Way Match capability on the Amazon Business mobile app simplifies the process so customers can reconcile their purchases in seconds. At Amazon, we’re driven to find better ways for our customers to work, and our 3-Way Match mobile scan does just that.”

With 3-Way Match, accounts payable and procurement teams can protect their organization from paying for incorrect invoices, items not yet received, or fraudulent purchases. This helps businesses of all sizes improve efficiency and reporting capabilities while also reducing time spent on manual data entry and avoiding payment for damaged or incorrect packages.

Customers can download the Amazon Business mobile app by visiting Google Play store for Android users or the Apple App store for iOS users and get started with 3-Way Match. For more information about 3-Way Match and how to use it, visit https://business.amazon.com/en/find-solutions/3-way-match.
