Co-op and MDF Management

Computer Market Research’s Co-op MDF management module is designed as a Software-as-a-Service (SAAS) solution. The module links Market Development Funds (MDF) campaigns by providing distributors and resellers with information quickly and easily. The Co-op MDF management module matches campaigns to opportunities, leads and closed deals, and allows partners access to their advertising marketing dollars in a streamlined easy to follow format. As a result, manufacturers are able to clearly communicate with their channel partners.

This management application allows companies to actively engage partners in the sales and marketing process. CMR’s Co-op MDF management module provides manufacturers the ease and simplicity of a customized online form for their Partners.

The system manages the approval, reply notification and closure incentives processes. The whole process takes place in one centralized Web-based solution. By saving time and eliminating paperwork, CMR’s Co-op MDF™ management module allows partners the ability to review data in real-time. The module also sends automatic reminders to partners so that deadlines are kept.

Computer Market Research enables dynamic process flow between thousands of independent partner organizations. However, unlike traditional partnership relationship management (PRM) systems, the Co-op MDF module allows companies to sell more effectively by empowering the individual business owner to actively participate in the marketing process.
