التحديات

Managing a wide dealer and distributor ecosystem requires structured incentives, transparent payouts, and continuous engagement. However, manual systems, inconsistent communication, and limited visibility weakened partner trust and slowed growth. As more territories were added, the challenge of scaling reward programs became even more critical.

• Manual, unstructured dealer commissions: Earnings visibility was unclear and processing delays reduced partner confidence.
• Weak retention across distributor tiers: Lack of structured engagement programs limited long-term loyalty.
• Opaque payout processes: Manual reconciliations and claim-based workflows caused disputes and inefficiencies.
• Slow onboarding and activation in new territories: Partner onboarding was time-intensive and inconsistent across regions.
• Low engagement in generic trade schemes: Traditional incentive campaigns did not excite or motivate channel partners.
• Flat order volumes in priority territories: No data-driven, performance-linked incentives to drive category expansion.
