Collaborate with Partners to Amplify the Impact of Channel Partner Incentives and Rebates

Incentives and Rebates

Avoid overspending, overpaying, supporting programs that fail, and focusing on the wrong partner. With e2open Incentives and Rebates, you can quickly create and run profitable incentive and rebate programs at scale—regardless of their complexity. Effective goals, accurate calculations, and timely payments stimulate performance. Meaningful analytics help engage partners and strengthen relationships.

Commitment, motivation, loyalty, and better results across your partner ecosystem

Incentive program spending wasted

Earnings inaccuracies, incorrect payments, disputes, and unmotivated partners

Channel partner incentive programs and rebates are often considered a necessary cost of doing business. Excessive manual effort, complicated rules, inaccurate earnings statements, wrong or late payments, disputes, challenging audits, employee frustration, and a lack of partner commitment are common problems in this complex world. As a result, a high percentage of incentive program expenditures goes toward increased processing costs, overpayments to partners, and overspending on ineffective rewards that fail to motivate partners.

Earnings inaccuracies, incorrect payments, disputes, and unmotivated partners

From overhead expense to results driver
