Vistex understands that to be successful, retailers

must be able to quickly adapt to satisfy the needs of

consumers. Back-end supplier rebates and POS cost

recoveries account for a large portion of a retailer’s

operating income. Vistex solutions help retailers to

effectively manage and negotiate favorable supplier

incentives in conjunction with the retailer’s own pricing,

promotion and sales commission programs to achieve

desirable financial performance.

Retail buyers need powerful tools to evaluate supplier

pricing and proposals. To negotiate the best net purchase

cost, buyers must analyze both pricing and various

purchasing incentives. Vistex provides a feature-rich

app which emphasizes usability, mobility and enterprise

capability. The app compares purchase pricing and

incentive income on the purchasing side to shelf pricing

and applicable sales promotions and/or sales commissions

on the sales side. Buyers can simulate changes to vendor

pricing and incentives while considering promotions and

other sales expenses in an effort to minimize purchasing

cost and maximize potential margin. Vistex also enables

retailers to propose incentive programs to vendors, with

supporting data to demonstrate the value that retailers

generate.

After an agreement is reached with a supplier, Vistex

performs a variety of tasks to ensure visibility and

profitability and automatically confirms that the correct

purchase price is used on orders. With Vistex solutions,

retailers can monitor inventory purchases to determine,

calculate, accrue and/or invoice suppliers for earned

incentives. The solution can also help retailers track

progress towards purchasing targets for incentives tied

to performance. Vistex makes it simple for retailers to

propose, define and administer marketing funds and

promotional budgeting supported by suppliers, submit

claims for qualifying promotional activity and price

protection of inventory, and update available funds as

they are accrued and consumed. Vistex solutions

empower retailers to define and execute sales deals

and bonus buy promotions for multi-channel orders, as

well as to feed customer loyalty programs. With Vistex,

retailers can accurately calculate and pay employee sales

commissions and/or store manager bonuses based on a

wide range of performance criteria.

Learn how to recover all monies due to your retail

business in a timely and efficient manner. Vistex solutions

for the retail industry can help you manage your most

complex business processes with fast, comprehensive

management and analytical tools. Automate and simplify
