Case Study: Affiliated Distributors achieves scalable rebate management and growth with Enable

AD Scales to $45bn in Revenue with Rebate Management Software

Affiliated Distributors (AD), a large plumbing and HVAC buying group, faced a massive challenge in manually managing its complex rebate program. With a small team, AD struggled to accurately calculate and pay out rebates from over 800 suppliers to its 850+ distributor members as the company's rapid growth made its manual Excel-based processes unsustainable. To solve this, AD chose to implement the rebate management software from Enable.

By implementing Enable's cloud-based platform, AD automated its entire rebate management process. The solution featured a supplier portal for consistent data submission, automated rebate calculations, and integration with their financial systems. This allowed Enable to help AD scale its collective revenue from $31 billion to $45 billion without adding significant administrative overhead, while ensuring 100% of rebates are returned to its members.
