Value

2. Bonus data pre-processing: Determine the bonus management assessment conditions, exclude special vehicles (test drive cars) and invalid data, and check the actual car delivery number.
3. Bonus calculation model write-in: Write the calculation models according to different dimensions (vehicle model, distributor, and channel) in the analysis platform, and synchronize data via two methods, namely, timing and triggering.
4. Bonus calculation and reports: Design formulas based on the incentive and promotional policies so that business users can directly change the time period, channel, product, and indicator through a drag & drop on the system, generate bonus reports, and calculate the bonus in “real-time”.
5. Bonus notice and complain: Notify the distributors directly under the enterprise or the regions they belong to through SMS or e-mail to view and check the bonus. The bonus can be distributed to the detailed data level. Users can complain in the system directly if they find the bonus disputable.
6. Bonus analysis /simulation: Optimize the bonus rebate model so that both the motor corporations and the distributors can obtain maximal profits.
