Powerful supplier rebate management for plumbing and HVAC dealers

For dealers and distributors of plumbing and HVAC supplies, even a 1% increase in rebates earned can have a big impact on the bottom line. Yet trading agreements are often lost, forgotten or scattered across the business, leaving valuable rebates to go unclaimed.

Enable lets you manage and track rebates centrally – so you maximize your rebate income and never miss an opportunity to claim. What’s more, you’ll also build better strategic relationships with your suppliers and foster closer collaboration between finance and buying teams.

Improve cash flow with better rebate visibility.

Automated accruals  

Accurately track rebates due,  including any supplier-guaranteed margins, with a thorough audit trail facilitating dispute resolution.

Cash collection support

Ensure all of your rebates are claimed and cash is received promptly. Look back retroactively and claim any missed earnings.

Comprehensive reporting

Get full, real-time visibility of deals, thresholds, and through margin to help you maximize your rebate earnings.

Why Enable for plumbing and HVAC distributors?

‍Claim all rebates owed

Most ERP systems lack the granularity to track rebate earnings in detail, so 4% of potential margin from rebates typically goes unclaimed by plumbing and HVAC distributors. Enable ensures you invoice for all rebates owed, improving profitability.

Maximize rebate earnings

When you have complex deals with multiple tiers and conditions, knowing what to buy (and when) to maximize your rebates can be difficult. Enable gives you full insight into your trade deals to help you make the right decisions.
