For a $2B private-equity backed building materials concern, Xenon Group led the design, development and deployment of a rebate tracking tool to manage a myriad of intricate rebate programs across a complex network of hundreds of suppliers and dozens of internal operating companies.

Leveraging Agile methodology and employing best practices in database and user interface design, Xenon Group, working in partnership with the client’s Procurement Category Management team, delivered a custom solution in 12 weeks with solution components to include: a back-end database with data sourced via the ERP system, a rules engine, a graphical user interface, a supplier data gathering template, a variety of key reports, as well as application documentation and training.

Prior to this effort, the client struggled to accurately forecast and track rebate dollars, which negatively impacted the firm’s ability to recognize revenue and forecast earnings.  Successfully deploying this tool eliminated a key challenge in the client’s journey to becoming a publicly traded entity.
