Rebate programs run on the manufacturer's calendar. Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm and others publish and revise offers across product lines throughout the year, and your pricing has to match the current offer to stay competitive.
Managed Manufacturer Instant Rebates is a monthly dakis service. Manufacturers send their programs to dakis directly, and each offer is applied to the product records it covers, with the value, the dates, and the tax treatment set as the manufacturer specified. Programs can change or end mid-run, and your pricing follows the offer through both.
What it is
When to use it
- You carry products from multiple manufacturers running active rebate programs
- Someone on your team is checking and updating rebate pricing by hand
- You have honoured an expired rebate and absorbed the margin cost in the past
- Your competitors are showing current rebates and you are not
What it covers
- Product imports and initial account setup
- POS and platform migrations, including Lightspeed
- New brand, category, or service configuration
- Film developing setup and configuration
- SKU cleanup, rematching, and catalog reorganization
- Account cleanup, tune-ups, and ongoing support
Why customers choose it
- Show the current offer from every manufacturer you carry, on the day it goes live
- Keep the margin that returns when a program closes
- Match competitors who are displaying rebates while you are still checking
- Hold rebate accuracy through a busy season or a short-staffed week
- Leave manufacturer calendars to dakis and keep your team on the floor
Why dakis
dakis maintains the product catalog for the photo and camera vertical, so the same team that knows your product records manages the rebate programs that apply to them. The connection between an offer and a product is already there, which is why a manufacturer's change reaches your storefront without a lookup or a product-by-product edit.
Testimonial
"We had two people on rebates and offers still went wrong. Wrong or unclaimed rebates cost us tens of thousands over several years."

Frequently asked questions
Which manufacturers do you cover?

The manufacturers, sent to dakis directly. You are not forwarding bulletins or watching for announcements.
Do rebates apply online and in store?
**[Team to confirm whether this question is relevant, and if so, does it apply at the counter through Unified Point-of-Sale.]
When does a new rebate appear on my storefront?
**[Antony to confirm: whether offers are loaded ahead of the program start date, and the turnaround when a manufacturer revises a program mid-run.]
What if a rebate shows incorrectly?
**[To be answered by the dakis team. Worth covering: how errors are caught, how a correction is made, and who the retailer contacts.]
