Streamline Your Order, Contract, and Rebate Management

Whether you’re making your own brands, private-labeling or co-packing, food and beverage manufacturing is highly competitive. You’ve got to keep your eye on the bottom line, while managing the complex world of orders, contracts, rebates, trading partner relationships and increasingly stringent food safety regulations.

Ocean Spray and the Enhanced Billback Solution

Confusing, labor-intensive billback system with a high margin of error Billback claims are created across several different sources; email, fax, paper, customer web portals and other electronic formats. The claim content is typically from the customer perspective, meaning the manufacturer’s pricing/deduction analyst needs to know each customer’s unique billback format and content and interpret it accordingly. The billback process is further complicated in many cases where the customer has generated a deduction for the claim against manufacturer product invoices. This creates additional manual effort by the manufacturer to reconcile the deduction against any associated billback claim that was also remitted to the distributor.

“What was once done with diverse and unique emails, faxes and confusing spreadsheets can now be done with a single integration between the distributor’s claim application and iTradeNetwork. From my perspective, iTradeNetwork did a great job on the roll out of its Enhanced Billback Solution, addressing all our concerns and helping us get better data faster.”
