Optimize margins by taking control of gross-to-net
profitability
Business success depends on optimizing your net margin. To do this effectively, you need to optimize
everything that affects it—from costs and pricing to trade promotions, incentives, and royalty
management. SAP margin optimization solutions by Vistex enable control of the pricing, programs,
and processes impacting net margin, helping you boost profitability.
Margin management presents a complex challenge with a
plethora of factors to consider. Stakeholders across sales,
marketing, purchasing, and finance each have their own,
sometimes conflicting, interests. What’s more, fragmented
IT landscapes mean that all too often, different teams can’t
see the impact of a multitude of programs and initiatives.
Offering comprehensive support across key areas of
margin management, the margin optimization solutions
help you understand the knock-on effect of different
decisions on your bottom line. Available in a single
integrated portfolio with tailored templates for specific
industries, the cloud-based solutions help simplify your
IT environment, replacing multiple point solutions and
providing you with increased visibility and control over
your net margin.

Maximize the value of trade and channel programs
For many companies, nurturing channel partnerships is key
to business growth. But do your incentives yield positive
ROI? You may spend more time focusing on improper
claims, processing errors, and incorrect and late payments
than analyzing performance to optimize margins.
The SAP Channel Program Management solution by Vistex
enables companies to design incentive and reimbursement
programs that increase revenues. Simulation capabilities
predict performance and help you tune tier levels to motivate
growth and support positive ROI. AI agents and process
automation support management of sales rebates,
chargeback claims, bids, deal registration, channel
inventory tracking, and activity to eliminate inaccurate
payments and cut processing costs. Stop wasting rebate
dollars subsidizing business you already have and turn
them into true incentives that support your objectives.
Use rebate dollars to reward the
partner performance you want.
