As buyer
Buyer Service is a procurement management platform designed to support buyers throughout the cloud marketplace purchasing lifecycle. It provides a centralized place for organizations to manage vendors, review and accept private offers, track entitlements, and monitor invoices and payments.
By combining structured approval workflows with clear visibility into procurement activities, Buyer Service enables purchasing teams to initiate requests, manage internal approvals, collaborate with vendors, and maintain accurate contract and financial records.
Currently, Buyer Service supports purchases from the AWS Cloud Marketplace.

📄️ Buyer Journey
This section walks through a typical buyer-side journey to illustrate how Buyer Service supports the end-to-end procurement process—from initial purchase intent to contract and payment management.
📄️ Home
The Home module provides a centralized dashboard that gives buyers a high-level overview of their cloud marketplace financial and commitment status. It helps users quickly understand overall spending and commitments at a glance.
📄️ Vendor
The Vendor module allows buyers to discover cloud vendors, explore available products, and manage vendor relationships within Buyer Service. It serves as the entry point for evaluating vendors and tracking vendor-related purchasing activities across the cloud marketplace.
📄️ Offer and Entitlement
The Offer & Entitlement module allows buyers to review contractual offers from vendors and manage the entitlements granted after an offer is accepted. Together, these two concepts represent the contractual and usage lifecycle of a purchase within Buyer Service.
📄️ Invoice and Payment
The Invoice & Payment module provides buyers with clear visibility into billing and payment information related to accepted offers and active entitlements. It helps buyers track charges, review billing records, and monitor payment history in a centralized location.
📄️ Request and Task
A Request represents a buyer-initiated intent to purchase a product or service. Each request follows a predefined workflow that reflects the organization’s internal approval process.
