How do you manage network supplier agreements and rebates for franchises?

To manage network supplier agreements and rebates for franchises, record each agreement with prices, volume targets, rebates, and validity, collect purchase volumes from units, calculate progress toward targets and rebates, and use the data in renewal negotiations.

In Jestor, agreements, units, and purchase volumes are connected, so the network gets the full value of its buying power.

Why do franchise networks lose negotiating power?

Each unit buys separately, and the franchisor does not know total volumes. Agreements are renewed without data.

Rebates earned by the network go unclaimed, and prices drift up.

What problems does agreement tracking solve?

Unknown network volumes
Rebates not claimed
Renewals without data
Prices not enforced in units
Weak negotiations
