The Dash buttons of Amazon were a boon for the time-pressed and forgetful when they rolled out in 2015. The nifty little machine allowed you re-order household products the moment you were aware that you would run out, at the easy touch of a button. But while they were ended previously this year, their idea will carry on to live in the Amazon Dash Smart Shelf. It is nothing but a WiFi-enabled, weight-sensing smart scale developed to take the hassle out of managing office supply for small businesses.

The device can be placed on a break room countertop or stock room shelf and will track inventory automatically for ordinary business supplies, such as coffee, stationery, or printer paper. Just keep the product you need to track on the shelf top, and it will sense when a device is going to run low. It will re-order more automatically or, if you favor, send you a warning so you can manually place a re-order.

The shelf arrives in 3 sizes—medium (12-inch x 10-inch), small (7-inch x 7-inch), and large (18-inch x 13-inch)—and is controlled via an Amazon Business account or the Amazon Shopping app. And since it is developed for Amazon Business users, you will be capable of accessing business-only costs and savings of almost 15% on the goods you purchase and monitor employing the shelf.

As per Amazon, small businesses compose of 99.9% of businesses in the US. And many of these businesses do not have the resources or time to invest on tedious jobs such as office supply management. Hence, the Dash Smart Shelf by Amazon can be a primary assistance for firms that just need to get on with things. It will be accessible to Amazon Business users with an enrolled US business permit beginning in 2020.
