🔧 Discover how AD Member @Chadwell Supply transformed their rebate strategy from a cost to a profit center in our latest article! With insights from John Janis, Chadwell's Director of Supply Chain Management, you'll learn how they leveraged AD Service Provider Enable to streamline their non-AD rebate management process. “We have now been able to track and receive millions of dollars in rebate opportunities. Before using Enable, we missed out on thousands of dollars due to failing to reach tier levels or not receiving payments on time. However, with Enable, we have successfully established rebate programs with suppliers we previously had no such arrangements with, resulting in additional revenue for our organization.” Don't miss out on this thought leadership — At AD we pride ourselves on best practice sharing and learning from each others' success. Read the full article to see how Chadwell Supply uncovered millions in additional non-AD rebate opportunities. 📈 https://lnkd.in/e7P7hvRW #ADTogetherWeWin #RebateManagement #Rebates
