The Challenge

Rebate Complexity That Slowed Profitability

Managing cost deviations like SPAs and rebates was overwhelming. With over 200,000 customers, 300,000 SKUs, and tens of thousands of contracts spanning hundreds of vendors, Henry Schein’s legacy systems couldn’t keep up. The result: missed revenue and unreliable rebate capture processes.

THE SOLUTION

Real-Time Rebate Optimization With SPA Optimizer

ProfitOptics deployed the SPA Optimizer—first as an audit tool and later embedded in Henry Schein’s ERP. The solution automatically intercepted transactions, applied smart rules and customer matching, and validated rebate claims in real time. The system continuously captured high-value rebate opportunities while reducing manual work and human error.
