Operations, Data & Next Best Action

Intro. Rebate management lives or dies on the data underneath it. Every vendor keeps your numbers in its own portal, its own format, its own rules - and a partner selling a dozen of them has to pull that together before any of it means anything. This cluster covers the operational layer: how rebate data is ingested, normalized into one common language, governed by program rules, watched for change, and turned into alerts, simulations and the next best action that protects your money.
