While rebates and pricing are just a fraction of the picture of a complex supply chain, they are both critical components in bringing more alignment. Rebates help align partners in a way that doesn’t erode their pricing power or margins and an effective pricing strategy can quickly shift demand onto products with higher inventory or margin and shift demand away from products with lower inventory or margin. Although a high amount of complexity exists beneath the surface of both, they are powerful tools in the supply chain because they align companies’ goals, increase accountability, maintain relationships and boost your margins, resulting in more revenue. Join Enable’s Evangelist, Mark Gilham and Christopher Loder, Senior Alliances Director, PROS along with Supply Chain Now hosts, Scott Luton and Greg White, as they discuss both of these strategies to keep everyone aligned and heading in the right direction.

Manufacturers understand the importance of precise data management to assure that sufficient materials are available in order to avoid costly production downtime. Still, many continue to rely on an outdated and error-prone patchwork of spreadsheets and manual data inputs, often leading to supply shortfalls, mislabeled products and overstocking of products that are no longer needed. This webinar will demonstrate how artificial intelligence (AI) replaces disconnected data silos with a digitized network footprint of all goods, services and logistics throughout the supply chain so that every decision is visible across the entire organization. AI’s machine learning capabilities remove materials guesswork by continually updating and interpreting market and customer trends to drive highly accurate predictive inventory analyses for indirect MRO, direct goods and even finished products. The webinar will also explain how complete digitization of data improves operational efficiency by harmonizing real-time, continually updated data across all departments and users, streamlining inventory management for speedy access to individual product stocks and available quantities.
