Contract Administration, Sales Tracing and Rebate/Chargeback Processing and Sales Reporting
TRC allows customers to manage the challenges in dealing with contract bids, contract pricing approval and validation, as well as contract notification and renewal, with ease. Many leading med/surgical manufacturers have relied on TRC to perform this critical part of their business successfully. According to McKinsey, for the average manufacturer, a one-percent increase in price yields about 12% to the bottom line. By utilizing TRC properly, a half of one-percent improvement in contract pricing is certainly not out of the question. If you do the math, it is a great investment.
Based on data from our existing customers, about 15% of distributors’ rebate claims are questionable. TRC systematically (14 processes in total) examines rebates from distributors at each invoice level and generates variance reports based on discrepancies in their rebate claims. The variance report is formatted according to each distributor’s variance reporting requirement with detailed explanations of why a rebate claim in question is denied or reduced. Finally, we reconcile all rebates according to each manufacturer’s rebate settlement guidelines. By utilizing MSISI rebate reconciliation service, customers are confident that rebate claims from their distributors are verified and paid accurately.
