Case Study: The Schwan Food Company achieves tighter contract and budget control and higher margins with Vistex (SAP Paybacks & Chargebacks)

Making Better Customer Investment Decisions with SAP® Paybacks and Chargebacks by Vistex

The Schwan Food Company, a North American frozen‑foods producer, faced fragmented trade systems that made it hard to manage deals, control budgets, and set transparent pre‑deal controls. To solve this, The Schwan Food Company implemented the SAP Paybacks and Chargebacks application by Vistex to centralize trade data and standardize contract and deduction processes.

Vistex configured the SAP Paybacks and Chargebacks solution (with the SAP NetWeaver Portal for deal entry) to enforce budget controls, improve visibility, and drive accountability. The result was increased margins and revenue, better budgeting control and labor efficiency, improved days‑sales‑outstanding by clearing deductions sooner, reduced overpayments and eliminated budget overspend, and trained in‑house developers to maintain the application.
