That\u2019s why we\u2019re already looking into the rebate and channel management trends that will shape 2025. Mike Slavin, Business Consultant at Vendavo, unpacks the strategies businesses need to stay competitive, including how to take charge of trade partner relationships, leverage flexible rebate programs, and drive efficiency with robust software tools.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As businesses prepare for 2025, the economic landscape remains a mix of opportunities and uncertainties. Continued global shifts, evolving trade relationships, and the rise of advanced technologies mean strategies that worked in the past may no longer be enough.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies need to rethink how they manage relationships, optimize programs, and leverage tools to stay competitive. Let\u2019s take a look at four critical trends shaping <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vendavo.com\/selling\/business-need-for-rebate-programs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rebate and channel management<\/a> in the year ahead, from tackling economic unpredictability to embracing AI and analytics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Continued_economic_uncertainty\"><\/span><strong>1. Continued economic uncertainty<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Economic uncertainty was a common theme throughout 2024, and it will continue in 2025, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vendavo.com\/all\/economic-trends-q3-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a lot of factors at play<\/a>. The new U.S. administration could bring significant policy changes:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Will new tariffs impact trade dynamics?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How will ongoing global conflicts evolve?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What will happen to interest rates?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How might shifting alliances and trade partnerships impact global supply chains?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The conversation around a global recession remains divided. Looking back, some experts anticipated a broad recession in 2024, while others suggested slowdowns confined to specific industries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, as we look to 2025, the outlook has shifted to cautious optimism. Many forecasts are predicting continued economic growth \u2013 in the US maybe a 2% GDP growth with Europe maybe 1% \u2013 in the coming year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Creative_new_uses_for_off-invoice_programs\"><\/span><strong>2. Creative new uses for off-invoice programs<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2025, forward-thinking businesses will find new and creative&nbsp; uses for off-invoice programs. Companies now have a greater understanding that rebates and off-invoice programs are a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vendavo.com\/selling\/define-desired-customer-behavior\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">low-risk way to drive customer behavior<\/a>. They know they need this to put teeth into their policies with their customers and suppliers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, businesses will continue to understand that one-size-fits-all approaches are no longer going to apply to these programs and that they need to be flexible. If you can adapt, you\u2019ll stay ahead of uncertainty and unpredictable markets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Taking_charge_of_trade_partner_relationships\"><\/span><strong>3. Taking charge of trade partner relationships<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vendavo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vendavo.com\/top-growth-drivers-rebate-report-manufacturing-distribution\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">surveyed<\/a> 300+ CFOs and general managers&nbsp;at manufacturers and distributors in 2024 and learned a lot about what\u2019s working and not working in rebate management. Respondents report rebate programs are widely effective but challenging. Increased revenues from these initiatives were reported by 86% of respondents in North America and 78% in Europe, and 85% say their customers love the programs&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To that end, businesses are going to want to take charge of their trade partner relationships. If you&#8217;re a distributor, your trade partners are your vendors and your customers. If you&#8217;re a manufacturer, that\u2019s your customers.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rebate program usage has traditionally been reactive, with a lot of businesses forced into managing rebate programs because their key suppliers have issued them. So, they have to be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vendavo.com\/rebates\/best-channel-incentives-management-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">manage the program<\/a> to take advantage of what their suppliers are doing. On the customer side, there appear to be more cases where people are dealing with vendor programs versus customer programs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vendavo.com\/top-growth-drivers-rebate-report-manufacturing-distribution\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rebate automation<\/a> is key.&nbsp;More than half (51%) of respondents report they rely on an in-house application or manual processes like spreadsheets and email to manage rebates, even though purpose-built automation eases the administrative burden and lowers compliance risk.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Businesses with robust, flexible rebate channel management capabilities will be able to dictate terms, so we&#8217;re likely going to be seeing more of that in 2025. Those that want to stay on top of rebate management will also need robust tools to support them.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vendavo.com\/our-products\/rebate-and-channel-manager\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vendavo\u2019s Rebate &amp; Channel Manager<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Increased_use_of_AI_analytics\"><\/span><strong>4. Increased use of AI &amp; analytics<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vendavo.com\/top-growth-drivers-rebate-report-manufacturing-distribution\/\">35% of manufacturers and distributor respondents<\/a> from a survey we conducted in 2024 said they rarely or never use technology to analyze and improve rebates, but for 2025 we predict there will be an increased use of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vendavo.com\/our-products\/ai-price-selling-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AI and analytics<\/a> in the rebates and channel management world. We\u2019ll likely see usage of new and rebranded AI-driven analytics tools increase. That means rebate and off-invoice program managers will spend more time analyzing what&#8217;s working (or not working), as well as finding new opportunities to expand their rebate channel management programs. That could involve using some AI to find where the opportunities are. Some business will want to do rebate forecasting as well.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All these actions will require robust software \u2013 like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vendavo.com\/our-products\/rebate-and-channel-manager\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vendavo\u2019s Rebate &amp; Channel Manager<\/a>, which is AI-driven \u2013 to help identify those opportunities for growth.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Go_in_2025\"><\/span><strong>Where to Go in 2025<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;There are always <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vendavo.com\/rebates\/remove-inefficiencies-rebate-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">areas for improvement<\/a> in your rebate programs. Take inventory of what you&#8217;re doing with your off-invoice programs in the new year. Consider:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Are there untapped opportunities to expand or refine your programs?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Do you have rebate programs consistently across all suppliers, or are there gaps?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Where can you make changes to improve efficiency and buy-in?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Are your programs aligned with your broader business and sales goals?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Are you using the right tools, systems, and data to optimize program performance and track ROI?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vendavo.com\/rebates\/five-key-takeaways-top-growth-drivers-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">taking charge rather than reacting<\/a>, and being proactive when it comes to rebate and channel management. Companies with the right flexible tools can go to their suppliers and say, \u201cLook, instead of me asking for better prices all the time, give me some programs that will tie in with what I&#8217;m actually doing.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That agency is going to be the important thing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Vendavo_Can_Help\"><\/span><strong>How Vendavo Can Help<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vendavo has been powering the profit transformations of global manufacturers and distributors for more than 25 years.
