Improve accuracy when determining key sales adjustements

Estimating the value of net sales adjustments from a Finance perspective can be very difficult due to a lack of available internal data and market information. The problem is especially acute before launch and in the first few quarters the product is on the market. 

IntegriChain often provides market-level benchmarks and analogs (i.e., metadata) that can serve as the foundation of a data-driven approach to financial planning & analysis for product launch. Manufacturers adopting this methodology would then have a credible source as the basis for estimating sales adjustments and a methodology that’s been readily accepted by external audit firms. 

This white paper examines the use of Market Benchmarks to forecast:

• Rebates allocation 
• Product returns accruals
• Wholesaler chargeback accrual
