BWH Hotels Italy & Malta and SI Supply: leaders in the Hospitality sector
With over 75 years of global experience and a strong presence in Italy since 1982, BWH Hotels Italy & Malta is committed to delivering reliable and comfortable travel experiences through a welcoming, inclusive culture that prioritises environmental responsibility.
This commitment led to the establishment of SI Supply in 2004, BWH Hotels Italy & Malta's dedicated purchasing centre. This initiative enables affiliated entrepreneurs to operate as a unified entity in the market, streamlining purchasing operations and leveraging economies of scale to secure better commercial terms that would be impossible to achieve individually.
Currently, SI Supply serves over 650 hospitality sector clients (including 170 BWH-branded properties) across more than 100 destinations in Italy, encompassing hotels, resorts, bars, and restaurants. The need to balance standardised procurement processes while maintaining flexibility and efficiency led to the strategic partnership with Amazon Business.
Amazon Business, a strategic partner
The collaboration between SI Supply and Amazon Business, launched in June 2024, marks a significant milestone in corporate procurement. This partnership streamlines order management, enhances delivery efficiency nationwide, and standardises procurement processes across all affiliated properties.
Through the Associated Accounts Program (AAP), members can either link their existing Amazon Business account or create a new one under SI Supply's umbrella, accessing preferential terms and an intuitive purchasing platform.
With AAP, each affiliate benefits from a dedicated credit line of 1,500 euros for deferred payments at 30 days end of month, allowing for greater flexibility in liquidity management.
Key benefits include:
- A dedicated €1,500 credit line with 30-day end-of-month payment terms
- 50% discount on Business Prime membership
- Access to a specialised "Hospitality and Catering Business Supplies" catalogue featuring competitive pricing and exclusive discounts to further optimise procurement costs
Existing Amazon Business users have seen improved terms through exclusive discounts, while new members benefit from seamless platform integration and streamlined expense management. This enables SI Supply to better track purchasing volumes and forecast needs, resulting in significant cost savings for affiliates.
The partnership provides access to a wide range of product categories, accommodating everything from one-time purchases to regular supply needs. This flexibility particularly benefits seasonal operations that require adaptable ordering capabilities.
Sustainability and future growth
Environmental responsibility is at the core of this partnership, aligning with the industry's ESG standards and paving the way for future eco-friendly initiatives. The Amazon Business platform features sustainability filters, allowing members to easily identify and select products with recognised environmental certifications, supporting responsible purchasing decisions.
The collaboration has already demonstrated measurable improvements in commercial terms for existing users while simplifying Amazon Business access for new members through SI Supply. The entire network benefits from enhanced purchasing efficiency, positively impacting both daily operations and long-term strategic planning.
Looking ahead, the partnership continues to evolve, with plans to expand across Europe and further optimise purchasing processes, reinforcing a strategy built on innovation and operational excellence.
