Purchase Rebate & Target Incentive Management

It is a common practice in retail business for suppliers to offer purchase rebate and incentive scheme to entice retailers to buy more. With the absence of an automated system, more efforts are required from finance to compute the amount to be rightfully charged to suppliers since the rebate incentive amount varies from each supplier and product.

Sales promotion targeted at consumer is one of the most effective avenues to boost sales in retailing.

Without a proper system in place, finance team is expected to manually calculate the amount claim based on sales report and issue tax invoice to debit supplier accordingly.

Our Retail Income Management System automates the scan-sales promotion claim process with system generated tax invoice based on sales amount captured to debit supplier.
