Clover Scan Data Reporting

On Clover? Your scan data shouldn't be someone else's problem.

One system: our POS records the sale, our cloud submits the scan data reports — clean, direct to Altria, MSA, and Circana. No bolt-on in the middle to break.

One system, or four pieces?

On Clover, four pieces have to work together.
With Insight POS, it's one.

The trouble with Clover isn't a long list of companies — some of them are even the same outfit. It's that your scan data only works if four separate pieces line up, every week: the Clover register, the dealer and credit card ISO behind it, an app-store app to ring the special manufacturer pricing — buydowns and multipacks — and a separate submission of your scan data reports. Every seam between them is a place the data can break. Insight POS is one system: the hardware and the software both come from us, so there are no seams to line up.

Clover — four pieces to line up
Insight POS — one system
Clover — a locked register you bolt everything else onto
Hardware and software, both from us — one supplier, one system, built to work as one.
A dealer and credit card ISO behind it — sometimes one company, sometimes two
We sell it and run your payments — honest rates, one call.
An app-store app just to ring buydowns and multipacks
Built in. The special manufacturer pricing rings automatically — nothing to add on.
A separate submission of your scan data reports — and it can't see how the app rang the sale, so the numbers don't line up
We file it too. The same system that rings the sale files the report, so it goes in clean the first time.

We've been an Altria scan-data provider for 10 years, rated at the top of the industry for data quality. When we were submitting scan data reports for a POS that wasn't ours, it was never perfect — and a pain for everyone. Back then, all we could do was report what it handed us. If the data was wrong at the source — or missing — you can't fix it, because it's not your code, and that's the operator's rebate on the line. So we put our energy where the code is ours — where we build the whole system, hardware and software. That's the only way to have seamless scan data reporting — and your money from Altria.

What a broken handoff costs you

The emails you hate seeing.

When a bolt-on app submits wrong, the notice comes to you — but the fix doesn't. You call the third party, wait for them to correct the file and resend, and your promotion money sits on hold the whole time. On Insight, the file goes in clean the first time, so the loop never starts.

Our data is superior

We file correct at the field level — loyalty discount amounts, multi-can and multi-stick Y indicators, every store on the account — mapped right the first time. Built for the program, not bolted onto it. The error loop never starts.

Our service is superior

We submit on your behalf, automatically, every week, to Circana and MSA. You never open one of these emails, never resubmit a file, never chase a deadline, never watch a promotion go unpaid. You ring the sale; we handle the proof.

One system, done right — the difference between a rebate you can count on and one you have to fight for.

Audit your rebate check

Every discount you gave —
so you can audit the check.

Your scan data goes to Circana and MSA; the rebate comes back from the manufacturers. This report lays out every discount you rang, by promotion, by reward, in units and dollars — so the rebate you're owed is a number you can verify, not one you take on faith. Your own store promotions tally right beside it.
