Efficient Coupon Processing

Data Collection

CMS’s flexible data capture process accommodates all types of retailer and submission channels while maintaining rigorous checks and quality controls. Regardless of the data source, the complete history of your coupon program can be accessed through the Alinea® online promotional management portal.

CMS also offers high-volume, complex data capture services to leading global companies using the latest imaging technology and data warehousing capabilities.

Redemption Assurance

CMS's rigorous fraud detection and prevention process facilitates paying only legitimate coupon submissions from legitimate retailers. It begins with a detailed retailer verification process. Then, sophisticated data-mining techniques and thorough submission review standards are applied to detect suspicious submission patterns and misredemption. Finally, once the submission is confirmed, your payment controls are applied – overriding CMS’s recommendations or applying stricter rules, based on your business needs.

Transaction Settlement

CMS’s audited, certified processing options offer you complete and flexible accounts payable outsourcing that you can trust. That trust comes, in part, from CMS’s commitment to continuous process improvement and client-focused innovation. It also comes from experience. Annually, CMS handles over 2 billion paper and electronic transactions. And finally, that trust comes from providing you solid options from which you can choose the best way to handle your coupon settlement.

The result: CMS offers the most accurate, efficient coupon processing available today. Whether using a speedy one-count or traditional two-count process, CMS clients experience the fastest payment turnaround and lowest overall cost in the industry.
