Getting Started with Partner Dashboard

In today's fast-paced supply chain, maintaining healthy and transparent relationships with trading partners is more crucial than ever. Whether you're managing customer rebates, supplier rebates, or overseeing a buying group, the key to fostering these relationships lies in clear communication and shared insights.  

This is where Enable's Partner Dashboard comes into play, offering a comprehensive solution to streamline collaboration and drive mutual growth. Here's a guide to getting started with Partner Dashboard and leveraging its features to boost your trading partnerships.  

What is Partner Dashboard?  

Partner Dashboard is an extension of Enable's Collaborator, designed to provide trading partners with a single source of truth for all trading agreements and progress towards goals. It allows users to share insights obtained from the Progress Tracker with their collaborators, ensuring both parties are always on the same page. This transparency not only minimizes discrepancies and disputes but also strengthens the trust between partners, paving the way for more strategic and profitable collaborations.  

Customers also using Enable often receive requests from their Collaborators to provide reports, insights and attainment. Traditionally this can be a slow or infrequent process for both the users receiving these requests and the Collaborator. With Partner Dashboard, you can share a link to your progress tracker with your Collaborator, and they will get a filtered view just to their data!

Benefits for Buying Groups

For a Buying Group, Partner Dashboard makes it easy to see a single source of truth between the group and its members. You can increase the value you provide to your members by seeing how close they are to rebate thresholds and incentivize their behaviour to boost their bottom line.  

The main benefits include:

• Transparency: Allow members to independently access their data, promoting a culture of trust and self-service.

• Collaboration Boost: Transform members into active participants in the rebate process, fostering a sense of community and shared goals.
