The NEMRA POS minimum standards helps key information is shared in a consistent format to manufacturers so that they can quickly process and allocate commissions to their reps. The POS standards also help distributors streamline their POS reporting process, making it easier for them to share this key information with their key suppliers … without being concerned about sharing customer-specific information. Sharing POS information to ensure accurate compensation is a win-win for everyone in the channel and it doesn’t cost anyone any more.”
