Retail Compliance and Claims Management

Vendors that serve multiple retail customers face a complex and often-changing array of priorities and deadlines, and failure to follow retail partner compliance processes can be costly. The Traverse Systems Rivet™ Retail Compliance and Claims Management blueprint mitigates these costs by raising the visibility of retailers’ compliance guidelines and formalizing their associated processes. From responding to chargebacks and filing claims to resolving disputes, Rivet ensures the right tasks are done at the right time by the right parties.

What makes retail compliance so difficult?

Every time you engage with a new retailer, you have a new set of requirements to adhere to. And as your retailer relationships grow, so does the complexity of your business’ retail compliance processes.

It invariably falls to multiple groups in your organization to track and execute these requirements, just as various groups in each retailer are charged with tracking your compliance. Communication within and between these groups is often slow and inefficient You almost certainly rely on multiple systems, many of them labor-intensive, to meet retailers’ compliance requirements. Connecting and integrating these systems across departments is expensive and time-consuming. When errors and delays happen, the resolution is often email-, phone- and spreadsheet-based, which adds more delay and inefficiency.

What do these difficulties cost your business?

Trying to stay on top of retailers’ compliance programs with traditional systems comes at significant time and labor costs. Non-compliance leads to chargebacks, which directly affect performance and profitability. Challenging chargebacks requires considerable documentation, which is inefficient and expensive in an environment of spreadsheets and emails. Ultimately, failing to manage compliance issues damages your brand and ability to maintain existing and forge new business relationships.
