Case Study: IBC Buying achieves automated, accurate rebate management with Enable

IBC Buying Group Removes Key-Person Dependency While Gaining Peace of Mind with Rebate Management System

IBC Buying, a UK-based buying group for independent builders merchants, struggled with a manual and inefficient rebate management process. Their previous systems, including spreadsheets and a custom SQL database, were error-prone, difficult to maintain, and unable to handle complex calculations, leading to missed invoices and a lack of operational flexibility. This created a significant burden on their systems manager and hindered growth.

The vendor Enable implemented its rebate management platform to fully automate IBC's calculations. The solution provided immense peace of mind, ensuring all rebates were calculated accurately and on time without manual intervention. Enable's excellent API and data integration capabilities allowed IBC to seamlessly connect with other systems and utilize powerful forecasting features. As a result, processes no longer stall during absences, and IBC has a clear roadmap for future enhancements, including a member portal and deeper accounting system integration.
