Amazon Dash Replenishment Adds New Device Makers and Launches New Products(NASDAQ: AMZN)-Amazon today announced that a new set of diverse device makers joined the Amazon Dash Replenishment program (www.developer.amazon.com/drs), including GeniCan, Honeywell (News - Alert), Nestle and WePlenish. Dash Replenishment lets device makers enable their connected devices to automatically reorder physical goods from Amazon using a simple set of APIs-for example, a washer that reorders laundry detergent when supplies run low, or a coffee maker that reorders coffee when needed. "More and more customers are experiencing the magic of automatic reordering with Dash Replenishment. They avoid the hassle of tracking their household stock of essentials like dishwasher detergent, printer ink, and water filters-when they're about to run out, Amazon automatically delivers a package to their doorstep," said Daniel Rausch, Director of Amazon Dash. "We're delighted by the momentum of the program and the feedback we're hearing from device makers and developers-Dash Replenishment is simple to integrate and brings an innovative new customer benefit and business model to their connected devices." Amazon also introduced the latest devices available with Dash Replenishment-the Whirlpool Smart Dishwasher and PUR Ultimate Faucet Filtration System. Available starting today, PUR's new Ultimate Bluetooth enabled faucet filtration system tracks water consumption, filter usage and more straight from your smartphone, while providing healthier, cleaner, great-tasting water straight from your faucet. With Amazon Dash Replenishment, replacement filters are ordered automatically when needed. Also, available starting in December, the new Whirlpool Smart Dishwasher features Dash Replenishment and will automatically reorder dishwasher detergent when supplies run low. "Our newest Bluetooth enabled faucet mount filtration system is certified to reduce over 70 contaminants, including 99% of lead, 96% of mercury and 92% of certain pesticides," said Deb Mudway, VP of Marketing, PUR at Helen of Troy. "To ensure customers always have healthier water and that the system is performing at an optimal level, we're utilizing Dash Replenishment to track the filter's status and provide replacement filters automatically-right when customers need them." There are dozens of brands already in the Dash Replenishment program-from global appliance manufacturers like Whirlpool and GE Appliances, to start-ups like Petcube and STYR Labs-which launched last year and has grown quickly. Amazon also recently announced the availability of Dash Replenishment in Europe with device makers Beko, Bosch and Siemens (News - Alert) home appliances, Grundig, KYOCERA, Samsung and Whirlpool. Getting started is simple-device makers can se as few as 10 lines of code to start an integration. Today, the following device makers join the program:
