PRM for manufacturing companies

    PRM FOR MANUFACTURING COMPANIES WITH DISTRIBUTOR AND DEALER NETWORKS.

    Manufacturing channels sell physical product with physical consequences: MAP pricing violations, territory disputes, warranty registration, RGA workflow, spare-parts allocation and technician certification on installed base. Dealers want catalog access and co-op advertising funds; distributors want stock rotation and RMA turnaround; the plant wants a rolling sell-out forecast. Channelo runs the dealer, distributor and installer lifecycle without asking the ERP to do the CRM's job.

    A manufacturing PRM has to manage MAP compliance, territory exclusivity, warranty and RGA workflow, co-op advertising claims with tearsheet evidence, and technician certification on installed equipment. Channelo captures those flows on the dealer record so plant forecasting stops running on stale distributor CSVs.

    DEALER NETWORKS BREAK ON MAP, WARRANTY AND CO-OP DISPUTES.

    A dealer prices below MAP and the neighbouring territory files a complaint. A warranty claim comes back on an out-of-catalog SKU nobody remembers authorizing. Co-op ad dollars get spent on the wrong media with no tearsheet to show for it. Meanwhile the plant is asking for a 90-day sell-out forecast that the channel manager is stitching together from twelve distributor spreadsheets.

    • MAP compliance and territory disputes escalated to the RSM instead of resolved in-system
    • Warranty registration and RGA workflow living in a legacy service portal disconnected from the dealer record
    • Co-op advertising claims submitted as PDF tearsheets with no ROI attribution
    • Technician certification on installed base tracked by the training vendor, not the channel
    • Distributor sell-out reported monthly by CSV, so plant forecasting runs on data that is already stale
