Trade Incentives

Engage the resellers you've never met.

Sub-wholesalers, van drivers, small retailers - the people actually selling your product. Identify them, onboard them, incentivize them. See your entire distribution network for the first time.

THE PROBLEM

You don't know who's selling your product.

You ship to distributors. They ship to sub-wholesalers. Who ships to retailers. Somewhere along the way, your product reaches consumers - but you have no idea who moved it.

Invisible middlemen

Sub-wholesalers, IDVs, small retailers - they're selling your product but you've never met them.

Sell-in ≠ sell-through

You know what shipped to distributors. You don't know what actually sold to consumers.

Trade spend in the dark

Rebates, volume bonuses, incentives - but no visibility into who earned them or why.

THE SOLUTION

Identify, onboard, incentivize.

Discover unknown resellers

Sub-wholesalers and retailers you don't serve directly surface through referrals and invoice trails. Finally see who's in your network.

KYC and onboard them

Digital onboarding in 45 seconds. Capture business info, location, contact. Turn anonymous middlemen into known partners.

Incentivize performance

Volume targets, tiered rewards, referral bonuses. Reward the resellers who actually move your product.

Control your key accounts

Run joint programs with major retailers. Drive footfall with exclusive promotions, share performance data, and strengthen your negotiating position.

HOW IT WORKS

From scan to reward in seconds.

Your product on the shelf. A QR code is the only bridge needed.

THE HIDDEN NETWORK

From invisible to incentivized.

Your distribution chain has layers you've never seen. Wecheer helps you discover, onboard, and activate every level - from the wholesaler you know to the small retailer you've never met.
