CHARGEBACKS
The Chargebacks component of the Vendor Programs application by Vistex provides a
single, integrated approach to managing complex, time-consuming tasks including contract
updates, ongoing and retroactive transaction processing, amounts-due calculation and
invoicing, documentation and reconciliation of vendor responses, resubmissions, and
detailed financial postings.
The solution provides your organization with the ability to examine and manipulate data
from many perspectives – customer, SKU, program, and channel – allowing distributors to
implement and manage these programs more effectively. By offering exceptional, real-time
visibility into transactions, processes and programs, Chargebacks accelerates cost recovery
rates, reduces vendor accounts-receivable balances and error rates, and provides a clear
view into true profitability.
Retrieving eligible chargeback collections from vendor-driven cost-
recovery programs is a key source of revenue and can mean the
difference between profit and loss. Protect your margins and improve
visibility into the entire chargeback process, from procure-to-pay to
order-to-cash, with an integrated chargeback management system.

VENDOR FUNDING
Smooth collaboration between vendors, distributors and retailers is
critical to their success. Vendor funding programs contribute to higher
margins for distributors and retailers, but with multiple documents and
approval requirements to manage, tracking claims becomes a source of
frustration and errors.
As vendors contribute more promotional dollars to fund services, co-marketing or purchasing
programs, it becomes more complex to track fund utilization and validate claims or negotiate
contracts midstream to ensure program success. The Vendor Funding component of the
Vendor Programs application by Vistex enables businesses to accurately reconcile the right
amounts and tie all arrangements back to the relevant contracts. And as organizations
can view critical analytics and performance data, it also strengthens partner relations with
more transparency into claims themselves – and speeds payments by minimizing back-and-
forth submissions.
Armed with more accurate information, businesses can negotiate better programs and events
and ensure transparency while providing exceptional auditability and financial controls.
Improved visibility into program activity also allows businesses to have a clear picture of
unspent funds and assess the performance of different programs and take appropriate
action to boost results.

PURCHASING REBATES
Income from rebates can make a major contribution to wholesale
distributors’ and retailers’ margins. But without a powerful rebate solution
in place, they often miss out on this vital source of income – in effect,
leaving money on the table.
The Purchasing Rebates component of the Vendor Programs application is a comprehensive
solution with sophisticated tools to model, administer, report, and analyze all your vendor
rebate programs. It gives you the ability to understand the true income from your rebate
programs, identify problems and opportunities, and take timely action to ensure that they
deliver maximum value. Eliminate miscalculations and unrealized earnings, make more
informed buying decisions, and collect all the rebate income you’re owed.
Detailed drill-down functionality enables you to perform post-execution evaluations of your
rebate programs and strategies, which you can then leverage to ensure optimal performance
of subsequent programs. And with advanced reporting and analytical tools providing real-
time data for evaluating program performance, you get a clear audit trail of settlements to
satisfy rigorous compliance requirements.
