What Is POS Data (Point-of-Sale)?
POS data, or point-of-sale data, records what a partner actually sold to end customers - products, quantities, prices and often the customer or location. Vendors use POS data to verify sell-through and pay rebates and funds tied to genuine end-customer sales, especially where product moves through distribution.
Why it matters to partners. Many rebates and claims are paid on sell-out, not on what you purchased, so the vendor needs proof of the actual sale. Clean, complete POS data is what unlocks those rebates and what backs the claim if it's questioned. Gaps or errors in POS reporting are a common reason sell-through rebates are underpaid or rejected.
