Vistex Security Assessment
Sales & CRM
Another month, another new program. You’re doing everything you can to spike sales, and this one promises to put you over the top for the quarter. But what you can’t possibly know at this point, is that the numbers will tell a different story. This quarter will end up looking a lot like last quarter, and your new program will actually cost more than it brings in. Of course, you won’t have seen this coming. Because the business won’t wait for you to track down a hundred different spreadsheets and figure out how to predict the future. The worst part? Next quarter will be the same – unless you can find a better way to see the numbers, see what really works, and see what to do next. And that’s why there’s Vistex. Now it all adds up. Available in the cloud for any ERP, your options are vast with Vistex solutions. Whether you are using a well-known, large scale ERP system, niche solution, or home-grown system, integrating Vistex into your working environment has never been easier. Serving both manufacturers or distributors, Vistex solutions manage mission-critical revenue management programs including pricing, rebates and incentives, claims (vendor chargebacks), trade promotions, rights and royalties.
