ODP Corp. expects its Varis startup to upend procurement

Varis, ODP Corp.’s new procurement technology and services platform, “is making super-fast progress” since its initial launch early last year, Prentis Wilson, Varis president, said during an ODP Investor Day presentation last week.

Wilson, whose extensive ecommerce background includes being the first head of Amazon Business, noted the accomplishments and growth curve at Varis since he joined it as its top executive early last year:

  • It acquired BuyerQuest, a platform that provides subscription-based procurement services to large companies.
  • It built a team of executives formerly with Amazon Business and other major technology-focused organizations including Microsoft, Dell and the U.S. General Services Administration.
