The Apple Store for Resellers has seen some modifications recently, with Apple adding the possibility to create templates for common orders which can be used by authorized purchasing agents from corporations, schools, or by consultants.

A report by AppleInsider points out to the revamped store, informing that consultants and institutions with an Apple account can set up online orders via templates, whether they are the ones creating them, or whether they choose an existing one.

Members of an organization can log in and create proposals for orders, then have an authorized purchasing agent approve and convert the proposal to an actual order.

Order status for recent purchases is also tracked by the new system.

However, companies, schools, consultants, training centers and certified trainers can set up a direct relationship with Cupertino via the the online Apple Business Store, which operates worldwide, the source pinpoints.
