Eleven new brands join Amazon Dash Replenishment Service
Amazon has announced that 11 new device makers have joined the Amazon Dash Replenishment Service (DRS) programme. DRS is the same reordering service that powers Amazon Dash Button. With Dash Button, customers can reorder frequently used products with the simple press of a button. With DRS, however, connected devices can reorder products automatically when supplies run low. DRS works with connected devices that measure consumable usage, using infrared sensors, scales, or other mechanisms, to determine when to trigger an order through Dash Replenishment Service APIs.
According to Amazon: “DRS is critical for device makers because they don’t have to build the back-end infrastructure to fulfil orders—Amazon does this work for them, leveraging its authentication and payment systems, customer service, and fulfilment network.”
The 11 device makers joining the DRS programme are: General Electric, Samsung, August, Gmate, Oster, Obe, Petnet, CleverPet, Sutro, Thync, and Sealed Air.
