The Challenge: Growth Goals, Limited Promotional Agility
The client’s teams had strong operational processes, but promotions were difficult to run consistently because they weren’t embedded into core systems. This created friction across business, operations, and finance.
Key Challenges Included:
Slow time-to-launch for new offers due to manual steps and dependencies.
Inconsistent application of promotions across customer segments (e.g., retail vs. fleet).
Limited visibility into eligibility, exceptions, and promotion performance.
Higher risk of billing disputes when rules were applied outside the ERP’s controls.
The client needed a promotions capability that was fast, controlled, and repeatable.
The Solution: Implement Promotions Inside the ERP (Not Around It)
VGenio designed and implemented a promotions framework as a first-class ERP capability—so offers could be created, governed, and executed with the same discipline as billing and customer management.
1) Promotion Strategy Aligned to Customer Behavior
We worked with stakeholders to define promotion types that matched real-world tolling usage patterns, such as:
Acquisition offers to drive first-time adoption.
Reactivation offers for dormant accounts.
Retention incentives to increase repeat usage.
Segmented promotions tailored to different customer groups.
2) ERP Rule Configuration and Governance
We implemented promotion logic and controls within the ERP to ensure consistent execution, including:
Eligibility criteria (segment, usage thresholds, time windows).
Automated application rules to reduce manual intervention.
Guardrails to prevent unintended stacking or misapplication.
Traceability to support audit needs and customer support resolution.
3) Operational Enablement for Repeatable Execution
To make promotions sustainable, we supported the rollout with:
Standardized promotion setup workflows.
Clear approval and change controls.
Reusable templates for common offer types.
Reduced cycle time from “idea” to “live.”
4) Measurement and Continuous Improvement
With promotions running through the ERP, the client gained stronger visibility into what was working—enabling faster iteration and better decision-making.
The Results: ~30% Customer Growth with Stronger Control
By embedding promotions into the ERP system, the client achieved:
Approx. 30% increase in customers.
Faster promotion launches with fewer manual steps.
More consistent billing outcomes and fewer exceptions.
Improved segmentation and targeting capability.
Better alignment between business strategy and operational execution.
Why This Approach Works in Traffic & Tolling
In tolling, promotions touch billing, customer accounts, compliance, and service operations. When promotions live outside core systems, organizations often trade speed for risk—or control for complexity.
ERP-driven promotions create a single source of truth, enabling growth while protecting operational integrity.
