Phocas is a core necessity
Before Phocas, we were less likely to use sales rebates as a tool as it was so cumbersome to provide information to the customer and track ourselves. Now our sales people know this is a tool they can use when selling."

Business System Administrator at Trade Supply Group
Smart purchasing
- Improve purchasing decisions by strategically timing product purchases and selecting suppliers that maximize profitability
- Maximize earnings, negotiate lucrative deals, and boost profits without leaving money on the table
- Easily spot near misses and track overall performance, ensuring you always know how your rebates are performing and can make the most profitable purchasing decisions.
Our world before Phocas Rebates was just simply spreadsheets and manual tracking of rebates by vendor. The value of rebates to our company is all in profitability. We're a very high margin, wholesale distributor in our industry. Our profitability is attributable largely to rebates.”
