After a successful merger, Unitas Wholesale knew they needed a rebate management system that allowed their suppliers and merchants to collaborate together and make better deals. That's why Unitas turned to Enable.
In a typical trading relationship, we have three main parties: the manufacturer, distributor and the end user who is the customer. The relationship we are focusing on today is between the manufacturer vs distributor. We know that without distributors, manufacturing businesses would struggle with getting their products to customers, and without manufacturers, distributors would have nothing to sell. The distributor is essentially the customer expert, while the manufacturer is the expert on desig...Continue reading

Risks and opportunities are something that we all experience in our everyday lives. For example, how many times have you got into your car in the morning to go to work with your fuel warning light on, but still did the journey anyway, knowing that there might be a slight risk that your car could run out of petrol on the way? In the world of business, risks and opportunities are just as commonplace. Even if you don’t realise it at first, you probably already have procedures in place at you...Continue reading

A volume discount is a change to the cost of a product based on the quantity of that product traded with your trading partner. Typically, volume discounts are paid retrospectively so sit under the wider banner of rebate, although sometimes these volume discounts can be up front.
This potential retrospectivity often depends on whether different discounts apply to incremental tiers of volumes traded with a specific trading partner throughout the course of the year, meaning that you are unsure of the value of the discount until the year end.
Volume discounts are often used by suppliers to incentivize greater purchase volumes and are available due to the advantages brought about by economies of scale. This has the side effect of increasing the suppliers market share and presence in the marketplace because increasing quantities of their products are being traded.
