The power of supplier rebate management software for manufacturers
Manufacturers need to make the best possible use of supplier rebates, especially at times of high pricing volatility. Yet rebate agreements are often lost, forgotten or scattered across the business, leaving valuable rebates to go unclaimed. Enable allows manufacturers to manage rebates centrally and maximize their value.
