Amazon Business on Thursday announced new partnerships with a trio of business software developers that will expand those services to members of its Business Prime program.
Amazon officials said that the agreements with financial management software Intuit QuickBooks, cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike and human resources software Gusto would complement the existing logistics and automation capabilities in its value proposition.
Under the partnerships, Amazon Business Prime members can now get 70% off the first 12 months of Gusto, and will be able to access QuickBooks Online Simple Start at a 60% discount beginning next year.
Business Prime members on the company’s “Essentials” plan or higher, meanwhile, will have access to CrowdStrike Falcon Go — which officials said offers prevention against ransomware, malware and other modern cyberattacks — at no additional cost.
“Small business owners wear a lot of hats — accountant, HR manager, IT lead — sometimes all before lunch,” Amazon Business Vice President Todd Heimes said in a statement. “We’re thrilled to introduce new Business Prime benefits that help them work smarter, save money, and get back to what they love most: running their business.”
