Co-op MDF Management

Computer Market Research provides a comprehensive channel Co-op MDF management solution to empower vendors to make strategic business decisions. By following their own unique program guidelines, vendors can easily build and develop their own channel Co-op MDF programs using drag-and-drop technology without requiring IT resources.

While a traditional Co-op MDF management process involves a lot of back and forth between vendor and partner, CMR’s automation solution relieves the headache associated with difficult proof-of-performance documentation and administrative tracking of funds to improve efficiency, accuracy and return on investment from trade promotion funds.

With this channel marketing management tool vendors can operate their Co-op and MDF programs on a global scale and gain insight into their entire prior-approval to payment process with both a holistic and granular view on marketing expenditures, claims, payments, and partner activity.

Our return on investment on our efforts with Computer Market Research has been very good.  CMR helped us improve the accuracy of our POS data and they’ve been a reliable partner who provides data with a high degree of accuracy.  We now can better understand, analyze, and map our customer sales results and trends we see. CMR’s Channel POS reporting service has helped our channel sales, field sales, product management and finance teams improve day-to-day channel partner engagements, and they’re always willing to help as we look to find new ways to leverage internal and external transaction data.”
