With the help of the readily available transactional data your company can proactively negotiate with suppliers to achieve the best deal possible for your business.

BONSAI is also easy to use and its authorisation system allows for restricted access to certain data sets.

With the use of rebate templates, every rebate for every supplier can easily be stored into BONSAI. This enables all rebate details to be readily available at the touch of a button. Rebates can also be edited ,removed and also added, with no limit to the amount of rebates per supplier. Rebates are structured into categories, which enables correct accounting for all rebate earnings.

Our software also automatically calculates retrospective income, reducing the need for tedious manual calculation.

 

SETTLEMENT

Automatic settlement of retrospective income with the suppliers. Multi-currency capability. Integrated creation and posting of invoices. Automatic calculation of current and projected rebate earnings. Settlement of claims throughout the year.

Your Benefits:

Increased liquidity and improved cash flow

Aside from negotiating the rebate terms, claim settlement/management, including the ongoing monitoring of agreed targets with regard to total earnings or earnings increases is a further part of a successful rebate program.

A crucial factor of success is ensuring a company earns the maximum amount from every rebate. By inputting all of the agreed terms of the rebate negotiation into the system, no rebate is forgotten about.

BONSAI greatly reduces the workload for the settlement process by atomizing the whole process. This leaves more time for the essentials: The control and optimization of the rebate system.

BONSAI continuously calculates the current value of all rebates as well as a trend based forecast for the end of the year. This makes it possible, without further effort, to check which rebates are within the desired target range and to see where there is more earnings potential.

Once the highest rebate scale is exceeded for a certain rebate, there is the potential for prompt renegotiation of the rebate scales with suppliers.

Planning for the next business year. Purchasing volumes, rebates, expected earnings. Continuous target-performance comparison. Simulation capabilities for complex rebate structures. “What-if” analysis on the impact of a supplier change or organizational expansion.       

Your Benefits:

Plan purchasing volume for the upcoming period and simulate rebate outcome

Sales promotional costs, purchasing group member costs and any additional sale costs are added into BONSAI. These can be discussed at the yearly negotiations. By using the simulation tool that BONSAI offers, companies can plan purchasing volumes to work out how to maximise their potential rebate earnings for the next year.

This allows companies to plan their purchasing in advance and to gain insight on the effects that influence rebate earnings. Priorities can then be set for the next term’s negotiations.
