Digitise the vendor agreement. Prove the promotion ran. Auto-calculate the claim. Hand over a Thai-compliant debit note. All in one tab — built for the retailer collecting the money, not the brand selling in.
If your group runs more than a few hundred supplier agreements across multiple banners, you've felt at least one of these. TradePlus is built for all three.
Slotting fees, co-op ads, volume rebates, display allowances — scattered across 100+ buyers' email threads, contract appendices, and LINE chats. By quarter-end, finance is reconstructing terms from memory.
You owe a brand THB 3.5M for a one-month gondola. Area managers say yes. LINE photos disappeared two weeks ago. Claim goes out at full amount because nobody can prove which stores executed and which didn't.
Finance spends weeks in Excel matching purchase volumes to tier thresholds, hand-typing debit notes, chasing dispute emails. Industry leakage runs around 5% of trade income — at retailer scale that is hundreds of millions of baht.
The cards marked ★ ONLY TRADEPLUS are features that, to our knowledge, no retailer-side trade promotion product on the market currently ships. Each one came from how the work actually runs in a Thai commercial-finance team — not from a feature comparison sheet.
Every major trade promotion tool — Vistex, SAP TPM, Oracle, Aforza — is built for the CPG company spending the money. TradePlus is built for the retailer collecting it. Different P&L line, different workflow, different debit-note direction.
Sequential numbering with no gaps. 7% VAT separated correctly. Thai baht in Thai words (ห้าแสนบาทถ้วน). 13-digit tax IDs both sides. Sarabun-rendered, bilingual, filing-ready. No global TPM tool ships this.
When store staff upload a display photo, our vision AI checks it shows the right brand, right product, right type of display. A wrong gondola or a stock photo is flagged at upload — not three months later when finance is calculating the claim.
Every claim shows its working: "12 of 15 stores verified × 30 days × THB 500/day = THB 180,000." Per-store breakdown table. Every input cited. When a supplier disputes the math, you both look at the same calculation, not two different spreadsheets.
Suppliers log in and see the same proof photos, the same calculation, the same debit note your finance team sees. Disputes happen against shared evidence, not against memory. Industry data points at 30–50% fewer disputes once both sides see the same thing.
The system compares actual purchase volumes to every active rebate agreement. When a tier threshold was hit but no claim was filed, it's flagged with the unclaimed amount. "THB 12M earned across 23 suppliers — file before the window closes."
Tops, Central Food Hall, Robinson, Power Buy, Thai Watsadu — one tenant, many banners under the same group. Agreements scoped to the right banner; claims roll up at the group level. Most TPM tools assume one brand, one channel.
Buyer, Category Manager, Finance, Store Ops, Commercial Director, Supplier — same database, role-aware UI. The role dropdown re-renders the page from one source of truth. No separate logins, no separate apps, no per-role data divergence.
Slotting fee, volume rebate, display allowance, co-op advertising — each with its own structured form, calculation rule, and proof requirement.
Month grid showing every active agreement at a glance. Filter by supplier, banner, type, period, or stores covered.
Display photos auto-extract timestamp and GPS at upload. The system checks the GPS sits within 100 m of the agreed store. Manual store picker as fallback.
Year-to-date trade income with target marker. Breakdown by agreement type, by category, by month. Apache ECharts, live-queried — no stale views.
No floats anywhere on money. Claim amounts, VAT, totals all stored as exact decimal. Thai 0.5-rounds-up rounding applied consistently.
REST endpoints for agreements, executions, claims, debit notes. Push debit notes into your existing AP/AR system. JSON in, JSON out — no proprietary middleware.
A single button wipes user-created data and reseeds 15 suppliers, 30 stores, 25 agreements, 40 photos in three seconds. The next reviewer always sees a clean system.
Every box below is a real screen in TradePlus. Every arrow is a real action your team takes. Find the workflow closest to yours — that is how you will use it on day one.

TradePlus is built first for Thai retailer deployments — multi-banner groups, hypermarkets, and convenience networks — and then for everyone else. The list below is what you would otherwise spend three months adding to a generic, CPG-side trade promotion tool.
Thai font embedded, not faked. Render checked against Adobe Reader, Foxit, and printout. No box characters, no font fallbacks. Filing-ready straight out of Browsershot.
Amount converts to ห้าแสนบาทถ้วน-style text on every debit and credit note. Required by Thai Revenue Code for VAT-bearing instruments above the threshold.
Per-promotion-type VAT treatment — some trade-income streams are VAT-able, some are not. Configurable at agreement level. The line on the debit note follows the rule.
Retailer and supplier tax IDs printed on every debit note. Validated at agreement creation. No silent mismatches that surface at the next Revenue Department audit.
No gaps, no duplicates, no manual numbering. A Thai accounting requirement. The counter persists across the period and resets only on financial year end with explicit sign-off.
Tops, Central Food Hall, Robinson all roll up under the same registered entity for tax purposes. TradePlus models the tax entity, the banner, and the store separately — and ties the debit note to the right one.
Buyers and finance teams work in Thai. Suppliers from a global brand toggle to English in one click. Debit notes render bilingual — Thai layout primary, English fields secondary.
Every agreement, claim, debit note, and dispute persists with a full audit trail. Thai accounting records require seven years. The schema and storage path are built to keep them — exportable per supplier, per agreement, per period.
Here is what changes in the first claim cycle for a typical retailer with a few thousand active agreements across multiple banners.
Period-end to settlement. Auto-calculation runs in seconds; debit notes generate in three; the only delay is your team's review queue.
Trade income earned but never filed. The leakage report flags every threshold met before the claim window expires.
Resolution time per dispute. Both sides see the same proof photos, the same calculation, the same agreement — there is nothing left to argue about except merit.
Finance team time to close trade-income reconciliation per quarter. Aging report and one-click write-off workflow remove the Excel reconstruction.
In operational terms, finance teams that used to spend the first three weeks of every quarter rebuilding trade income from emails and Excel get those weeks back. In financial terms, recovering even one percentage point of leakage on a multi-billion-baht trade income pool funds the engagement many times over. In compliance terms, every debit note now ties out: sequential, VAT-correct, Sarabun-rendered, with a full audit trail behind each line — the kind of audit-ready posture external auditors and the Revenue Department both ask about.
Figures are derived from the published TradePlus product targets, industry benchmarks for retail trade-income leakage, and our founder's prior enterprise delivery of finance-adjacent operational systems across Southeast Asia (2017–2026). Individual results vary by agreement volume, supplier mix, and existing process maturity.
Most teams run their first real claim cycle on TradePlus by week 8. Here is what each phase looks like for a pilot scoped to a single banner and the top 50 suppliers — the full supplier base compounds onto this baseline.
Your top 50 supplier agreements digitised. Banners, stores, tax entity, and AP/AR connections configured. Demo accounts ready for buyers, finance, and the first pilot suppliers.
Buyers create new agreements in TradePlus instead of email. Store ops upload execution photos. Suppliers log into the portal. We are on hand for questions and adjust workflows based on what your team actually does.
Run a real period-end on the pilot supplier set. Auto-calculate claims, issue Thai-compliant debit notes, route disputes through the portal. Finance signs off that the output is filing-ready.
Your team operates TradePlus day-to-day without daily support. We monitor and respond in the background, and start the conversation about expanding to the full supplier base.
Investment is sized to your group, the number of banners, and the supplier scope — discussed in person or on a call when we meet, not on a public price list. Retailer deployments usually have specific procurement processes; we will work within yours.
It sits beside your ERP. TradePlus is the system of record for the trade-promotion lifecycle — agreement, execution, claim, debit note, dispute, reconciliation. The debit notes flow into your existing AP/AR system through an open REST API; your finance team continues to post in their ERP. We do not ask you to replace the system that already runs your books.
For trade-income data the default is Thailand-region infrastructure, given the Revenue Code retention requirement and the sensitivity of supplier-side commercial terms. Singapore-region is available for retailers operating cross-border. We do not move data between regions without your written consent.
The photo upload works on whatever connection the phone has — including 3G upcountry. The AI verification happens on our servers, not on the phone. If verification cannot complete (rare), the photo is still saved with timestamp and GPS, and a manual reviewer can confirm later. Nothing in the field workflow blocks on AI being available.
Yes. Bulk CSV import for agreements, supplier master, store master, and historic claim data is in scope from week one. Existing agreements that don't map cleanly to a structured form are imported as-is with the original document attached, then restructured by the buyer team during the first two weeks.
The portal records the dispute against the claim with shared evidence visible to both sides. If the buyer and supplier do not reach agreement in 14 days, the dispute auto-escalates to the Category Manager. At 30 days it escalates to the Commercial Director. The full timeline lives on the claim record — auditable later if it ever matters.
Production deployments run the supplier portal as a separate authenticated surface with row-level scoping by supplier ID — a supplier sees only their own agreements, their own claims, and their own proof photos. The MVP demo runs a simpler role-switcher for walkthroughs; production deployments add SSO, MFA on the buyer side, and per-supplier scoping enforced in the database, not the UI.
TradePlus is built by Inline One Systems, a Bangkok-based product studio. Our founder previously built and shipped enterprise operational systems across Southeast Asia between 2017 and 2026 — including production finance-adjacent systems handling sequential numbering, VAT-correct documents, and bilingual Thai output at scale. TradePlus carries that operational pattern into a product designed first for Thai retailer deployments.
A 30-minute walk-through. Bring three or four real supplier agreements (any type — slotting, rebate, display, co-op), one quarter's worth of purchase volumes or execution photos, and one sample debit note your team currently issues. We will digitise the agreements live and run the period-end against them. If the shape fits, we scope a structured engagement on one banner. If it does not, you leave with a clearer view of where your current process is leaking trade income.
