Channel POS Management

Visibility Into Clean and Processed Data

Channel Point-of-Sales

Without access to clean, trustworthy, and complete data, your channel team is left to rely on ‘hip-pocket’ estimates. This may lead to partner incentive overpayments, too much/too little inventory in the channel, erroneous revenue recognition, and flawed sales commissions.

With Computer Market Research’s (CMR) fully automated Channel POS solution, manufacturers have the advantage of unprecedented business intelligence via cleansed, standardized and enriched data without the use of manual and/or ad-hoc collection processes.

Our channel POS data management system is a state-of-the-art web-based software tool that streamlines the collection and processing of reports from multiple reporting partners and creates comprehensive Crystal reports of monthly sales analytics by territory, reseller, product and/or distributor.  When distributors send their required POS data in a standardized format to the system, the data is then automatically imported into the CMR’s channel POS data management system from which OLAP cubes and Crystal reports can be extracted. Subsequently, you can export the POS data to Excel for further “on-the-fly” manipulation.
