Being better able to manage complex rebate structures like SPAs will only become more important as the supply chain continues to face mounting pressures. When some businesses have upwards of tens of thousands of complex SPAs, they need a streamlined solution. SPAs are a critical piece in any company’s rebate strategy, allowing manufacturers and distributors to work together to offer competitive prices to customers while maintaining sales volume and ensuring profitability.
“SPAs are an essential business tool to master for any marketplace,” said Mark McGready, Director of Channel Analytics at SPARXiQ and advisor to Enable. “They provide the best of all solutions: supplying customers through local distributor inventories while giving them pricing consideration that meets their buying demands. All companies need to ensure they have an efficient, robust and accurate SPA process if they’re to maximize their sales opportunity while protecting their margins and bottom line.”
