What is Enable:
Enable is the SaaS rebate management platform that drives trusted relationships between B2B trading partners.

Customers configure their deals, Enable ingests and process all their sales transactions, allowing them to find rebates they are owed that they would otherwise have missed.
All this has major challenges, we process enormous amounts of data in very short time frames, performing billions of calculations per customer and storing it all in Enterprise scale databases. We provide customers with reporting, deal editing and collaboration capabilities. There are no standard techniques for doing this, we are the market leader, and we create new solutions every day.

What We Do
Enable helps manufacturers, distributors, and retailers take control of their rebate programs and turn them into an engine for growth. Starting in finance and commercial teams, Enable helps better manage rebate complexity with automated real-time data and insights, accurate forecasting, and stronger cross functional alignment. This lets you — and everyone else you authorize in your business — know exactly where you are with rebates. Then you can extend Enable externally to your suppliers and/or customers, setting you and your partners up to use rebates as a strategy with one collaborative place to author, agree, execute, and track the progress of your deals.
