Case Study: Leading Pan-Asian Retail Corporation achieves automated rebates and improved cash flow with Vistex Solutions for SAP

Vistex Solutions for SAP provides retail giant with promotion management capabilities that boost operational performance

Leading Pan-Asian Retail Corporation, a retail giant with 10,000 outlets, $27.6 billion in revenue and 200,000 employees, was overwhelmed by fragmented POS data, manual rebate and chargeback calculations, and the inability to apply global intercompany promotional discounts or see real-time margin and rebate insights. The company needed an automated solution to capture POS sales, calculate vendor chargebacks and penalties, and provide management with accurate, timely business intelligence — capabilities it found with Vistex and specifically Vistex Solutions for SAP.

Vistex implemented Vistex Solutions for SAP to automate end-to-end rebate, chargeback and promotion management, enabling live agreement changes, accurate moving-average pricing and instant posting of rebate adjustments. As a result, manual miscalculations were eliminated, daily sales margin reports now accurately reflect promotions, provision management and reconciliations were reduced, rebate income allocations were standardized across stores, and cash flow improved from more timely vendor debits — demonstrating measurable operational and financial improvements driven by Vistex.
