Due to these limitations, CPS cannot fully implement the desired Client Incentive Program and Supply Chain finance must depend on distributors to properly calculate NVDs and allocation is not always accurate. By creating the ‘Supplier Portal’, this project aims to build system(s) and processes to support all non-Vtrak and non-IQ distributors to submit purchase data in a standard format.
