At the Source of Partner Claim Overpayment Lays a Flawed Ship and Debit Management Process.
What if we told you were overpaying channel partners on claims by at least 30%? Would you ? The process of examining, validating, and calculating the money due to the manufacturer, the distributor, and the trading partner involved can be complex and time-consuming. With an automated module, you will slash the expenses associated with partner claims management from your ship and debit process and eliminate channel partner incentive and rebate overpayments.
If your company is like the 92% of channel manufacturers we work with, your ship and debit process is performed manually.
Dealing with these large amounts of data by hand could compromise your company’s finances due to:
- Spending 40% more on operational expenses due to overpaid claims and overhead costs in processing claim form data
- Inaccurately matching special pricing parameters and validation rules on claim request
- Inaccurate estimations of monthly/annual reports concerning partner claim expenditures
With the introduction of our Ship and Debit software, you will improve the efficiency and accuracy of your channel data collection process and reduced the number of errors.

Using automated payment calculations on transactions, and comprehensive reporting and analytics, you’ll be able to evaluate:
- What you owe partners
