The Problem

When a Profitable Sale Looks Like a Loss

The amount a customer pays at checkout does not always represent the full revenue from a device sale. When a dealer, carrier, distributor, or manufacturer offers a rebate or SPIFF, your business is still owed money after the transaction closes, and that expected income is easy to lose track of.

  • A profitable sale appears as a loss because the expected incentive is missing.
  • Staff must maintain separate spreadsheets or handwritten records.
  • Rebate and SPIFF payments can arrive days or weeks later.
  • Dealers may combine many incentive payments into one deposit.
  • Partial or missing payments are difficult to notice.
  • Tracking the phone, receipt, IMEI, incentive type, and program manually is time-consuming.

How Dealer Incentive Programs Work

Set it up once, then let every eligible sale track itself.

Create a Program

  • Set up a location-specific program with a name, start and end dates, and an active status
  • Add the products that are eligible for this program

Configure Rebate and SPIFF Rules

  • Set a rebate or SPIFF amount for each eligible product
  • Use a fixed dollar amount or a percentage of sale price or cost
  • Disabled or zero-value incentives are automatically skipped

Automatic Incentive Tracking

  • Every eligible sale automatically creates an expected incentive record
  • Each record keeps the program, product, receipt, incentive type, amount, and IMEI
  • No manual entry required for eligible transactions

Reconcile Payments

  • Select one or more claims and match them to a dealer payment
  • Record full or partial payments as they come in
  • Void unreconciled claims tied to removed or refunded transactions

Track Program Performance

  • See eligible items sold, reconciled, and still outstanding
  • View total expected, received, and remaining amounts per program
  • Review detailed, clickable claim records at any time

Reconciliation

See Every Claim, Match Every Payment

The reconciliation workspace brings every incentive claim together in one place, so your team can see what has been paid and what is still outstanding.

  • Each claim shows the program, product, receipt, IMEI, and whether it is a rebate or a SPIFF.
  • Expected, received, and remaining amounts are shown side by side.
  • Select one or more claims and match them to a single dealer payment.
  • Record full or partial payments as they come in.
  • Void unreconciled claims tied to removed or refunded transactions.

Program Reporting

Know How Each Program Is Performing

Every program has its own report, so you can see exactly how it is performing without digging through spreadsheets.

  • Configured products, eligible items sold, and reconciled item counts at a glance.
  • Total expected, received, and remaining incentive amounts for the program.
  • Detailed, paginated claim records with clickable receipts.
  • Each claim is clearly marked as a rebate or a SPIFF.
  • A phone that earns both a rebate and a SPIFF counts as one eligible item sold, with both incentives shown separately.

Why It Matters

Example Scenario

A Rebate and a SPIFF on the Same Sale

Here is how a single sale flows through a Dealer Incentive Program.

  • Purchase cost: $300
  • Customer price: $50
  • Expected rebate: $250
  • Expected SPIFF: $45
  • Total expected incentive income: $295

The rebate and the SPIFF are recorded as two separate incentive claims, each connected to the same sale and the same device IMEI.

Stop Letting Dealer Incentives Disappear Into Spreadsheets

Give every rebate and SPIFF a home. Create incentive programs, connect eligible products, and see exactly what dealers still owe you, without digging through spreadsheets or old receipts.
