AWI has a storied history. Founded in 1893 by Joseph Peter Schmidt
and his son Arthur William Schmidt, AWI has been a privately held, family-owned company for over 125 years. 

AWI was born out of an idea that business products for multiple locations must be a simple, one-step solution for the client. Utilizing the brightest minds and latest technology, AWI develops innovative solutions in ordering and reporting. These offerings allow our clients to handle their business overhead with more intelligence, diligence, and care. 

With an eye on dynamic analytics to manage operations, AWI has developed its newest product, ProBuy Intelligence. ProBuy is a cloud-based e-procurement platform designed to provide customers with maximum visibility and control over spend. By consolidating your supplier base into one convenient system, ProBuy help manage your transactional purchase process in real time. Quickly identify savings through your locations' buying patterns, identity trends, variances, and opportunities with flexible reporting and management tools.
