Sugro UK is launching an intelligent rebate management solution to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of member and supplier interactions. 

The member-owned buying and marketing group, which comprises over 80 independent wholesalers, said the Ebate system was designed to streamline transactional data processing and optimise earnings for both members and supply partners. 

The platform will enable members to track their spend progress and overrider (ORD) earnings across different criteria such as growth, core range and other ORD-related tasks.

Members will also be able to influence their earnings by checking their status by supplier and criteria, identifying gaps and making purchasing decisions to close those gaps.

Sugro said the system enabled automated calculation and ORD forecasting with accuracy, minimising the number of potential errors and time spent on manual calculation of rebates and providing increased visibility of group performance. 

After a successful initial system trial with a limited number of members within the group, access will be granted to the rest of the membership within the next few weeks.

"When time is precious and every penny counts in this challenging market, the system will provide clear tracking of purchasing to ensure maximum earnings can be achieved," said Sugro MD Emma Senior. 

"The members that have participated in the trial found the system to be easy to use and incredibly insightful."

Sugro UK head of commercial and marketing Yulia Petitt added: "By tracking individual performance, identifying gaps and opportunities, our members will be able to achieve optimisation of their rebate earnings.

"I have no doubt that, as a result of the system launch, we will see increased distribution across supplier core ranges and new products, as well as further growth in group turnover."
