Targeted incentive management is increasingly becoming a high focus area for most
automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) today Automotive manufacturers in
the US spend an astounding 45 billion USD per annum on incentives. Targeted incentive
capabilities for dealers result in the right offer being made for the right model mix in the right
market. OEMs need to leverage targeted incentive capabilities as a strategic tool to gain a
competitive advantage in the automotive retail market and increase the volume of vehicles
sold, while maintaining the same overall incentive expense.
A targeted incentive management application is required to overcome operational
complexity resulting from acquiring superior levels of flexibility, intelligence, and targeting
capability in automotive incentive management. This will result in a more effective utilization
of the incentive fund — the savings potential can be so substantial that OEMs can break even
in the very first year of operations.
This white paper describes a targeted incentive management framework and also dwells
upon some important aspects of automotive incentive management.

The Incentive Cost Challenge
Incentives in the automotive industry play a significant role in the marketing mix of most OEMs. Apart from
sweetening a deal, incentives allow OEMs to customize pricing as a response to demand and supply fluctuations
in the market. The incentive amount per vehicle is a function of historical data, inventory levels, market elasticity of
demand, and product pricing.¹
In the US market alone, auto makers spend billions of dollars on incentives. Latest trends indicate that the
percentage of vehicles covered by incentives is growing². Considering the dollar spend on incentive management,
this area is fast becoming a high focus area for most automotive OEMs.
Automotive OEMs equipped with targeted incentive management capabilities are better placed to get favorable
returns for their incentives. In our experience, the savings potential is so substantial that some OEMs break even
on the investment in the first year of operations.
Acquiring Targeted Incentive Management
Capabilities
OEMs today need to leverage targeted incentive capabilities as a strategic tool to gain a competitive advantage in
the automotive retail market and increase the volume of vehicles sold. While doing this, however, they must be
watchful about maintaining the same overall incentive expense.
Typical challenges that drive OEMs to acquire targeted incentive management capability include:
n
Lack of flexibility in generating a large number of scenarios with
incentive costs calculated by the system to arrive at the most optimal mix
of incentive scenarios within the given constraints
n
Lack of ability within the incentive management system to target a
specific segment of vehicles, customers, geographies, or a mix of these
n
Lack of comprehensive analytics and data mining capabilities
Incentives are now an
essential ingredient in the
sales promotion recipe of
automotive OEMs and are
considered to be qualifiers
more than differentiators

Incentive management systems are complex enterprise applications that
extensively interface with several other key internal and external enterprise
applications, and should ideally allow a seamless flow of information across
the incentive management value chain. In many OEMs, incentive management systems merely work as workflow
management systems – building intelligence into such systems can result in better planning of incentive schemes.
An effective incentive management application typically includes the following capabilities:
1. Generates incentive program scenarios using a scenario generator
2. Calculates incentive cost for any given scenario based on production planning inputs and penetration rates,
and compares the costs with allocated budgets across car models, geographies, and time period
3. Builds business intelligence into the system using a business rule engine, enhancing the system's predictive
capabilities
4. Provides a large variety of incentive types for launching various incentive programs

5. Plans and tracks the yearly budget (Budget Planner)
6. Interfaces with key enterprise applications to gather real-time process and business data
7. Acts as a decision support system, leveraging analytics, data mining and big data capabilities
8. Enables close integration between modules
Close integration between the various incentive modules enables a seamless flow of information across the
incentive management value chain, as depicted in Figure 2.

Building Targeted Incentive Execution Capabilities
Primary Capability
Primary targeted incentive capability comprises the ability to filter by slight
variations in model, customer geography, and dealer geography for any
given time period. This enables the OEM to design customized incentive
schemes for a specific model or model year (right up to option code and
color) with either a specific customer geography (even a ZIP code) or a
specific dealer geography (right up to the dealer code) (Figure 3).
Primary targeted incentive
capabilities can be acquired
by building a high degree of
granularity for model
year/customer geography/
dealer geography
Advanced Capability
Advanced targeted incentive capability can be achieved by integrating the incentive management system with the
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system (to build customer-facing incentive programs) and by
integrating dealer systems (to build dealer-facing incentive programs). This is depicted in Figure 3.
With advanced capability, building a specific program becomes much easier as it merely involves setting the
parameters in the system. The system in turn builds the incentive program by fetching the relevant data from the
CRM database. Some scenarios are listed below.

CRM Integration – Customer-Facing Offers for Advanced Targeted Incentive Capability
1. Loyalty offers for customers who bought two or more vehicles from the OEM in the past 10 years
2. Conquest offers for customers who own a competing brand car that is over four years old
3. Incentive offers for auto show 'hand-raisers' (leads)
4. Direct mail campaign to customers: A list of customers that be generated on a parameter (or a mix of
parameters) such as demographic profile. For example, the offer might target high-net-worth customers
above a certain income level or young customers below a certain age level or high-net-worth young women.
Based on the data, the list is queried from the CRM system and an incentive program is created for this
specific customer segment.
Dealer System Integration – Dealer-Facing Offers for Advanced Targeted Incentive Capability
1. Incentive programs based on specific dealer category such as A, B, C category: The category is defined
by the size of the city or the size of the dealership.
2. Incentive programs based on dealer ratings: for example, specific incentive programs for Top 100 dealers
in balanced scorecard rating
3. Inventory offerings: Incentive schemes targeted to dealers with non-moving stocks of a particular
model. Based on stocks of the model at dealerships, the system calculates the incentive cost outflow to
help plan the scheme.
Based on the data, a list of targeted dealers is queried from the dealer system database and an incentive
program is created for this specific dealer segment.
Framework for Achieving Targeted Incentive Capability
Planning, launching, and managing incentive schemes with high levels of granularity is a complex activity. The
incentive management system needs to handle high level of functionality and complex logic along with extensive
workflows.
An end-to-end incentive management application is necessary to increase process automation and accuracy of
information. The application should cater to the entire lifecycle of all incentive types applicable to new vehicles.
A comprehensive targeted incentive management framework, as shown in Figure 4, provides the basic building
blocks for the implementation.
The framework must be conceptualized to enable a seamless flow of real-time, accurate, and relevant information
across enterprise applications. A business rule engine, coupled with the availability of relevant real-time
information, helps the system respond intelligently beyond just performing workflow management tasks.

The key drivers of as well as barriers to implementation of an effective incentive management system
are indicated in Figure 4.

Targeted Incentive Management Process Overview
Figure 5 elaborates the process overview of a state-of-the-art targeted incentive management system in a
connected enterprise.
Incentive Program Design
The system should have the following capabilities:
n
Improve planning: The system should enable the OEM to plan incentive budgets for any time period. Flexible
scenario generators can generate several incentive scenarios at required levels of granularity. Mining and
analysis of historical data to spot historical trends and co-relations also helps in the effective design of incentive
programs.
n
Effective design of finance or lease schemes: Many incentives are passed on to the customer as finance or lease
schemes. The system should enable the user to design an effective finance or lease scheme for the customer by
providing historical information on loan tenure and customer credit ratings. For example, the system should be
able to provide information on the customer demographics/spread and the interest rates based on tenure and
credit rating based on similar schemes run in the past. The system should enable the user to allocate different
subvention amounts to different tenure or credit rating segments and should also have finance/lease sandbox
facility which gives the field users or regional managers the flexibility to tweak the incentive schemes within the
defined constraints.
n
Improved cost projections: The system should factor in production planning data and historical penetration
rates in order to project the incentive cost. The system should be able to analyze the incentive cost across
geography, model, time periods, or a combination of these.
n
Better decision-making: The system should facilitate comparison of various incentive programs across timelines
for better decision making. It should allow executive management to make decisions quickly online by allowing
the submitted incentive programs to be approved, rejected, or put on hold.
The system utilizes production
planning data and historical
penetration rates for similar
incentive programs, to project
the incentive cost.

Incentive Launch
The incentive management system should have an automated document generation capability to facilitate the
program document creation and distribution process. The launch of the incentive program is the first functional
area for incentive administration. It serves the following purposes:
n
Allows building of customized target lists for a particular incentive program
n
Allows users to create program documents with selected or uploaded templates
n
Distributes the right program documents to the right audience at the right time at the right place through the
chosen mode of distribution
Incentive Validation and Payment

Analytics
The purpose of having an analytics solution is to increase and improve the OEM's ability to obtain, analyze, and
report on incentive data generated during the lifecycle, as well as on other incentive program-related information
coming from external systems and data sources.
This calls for a data mart, as well as a robust reporting and analytics framework. These components allow access to
historical incentive-related data for executive dashboards and comprehensive reporting on all aspects of incentive
management and compensation process.
An analytics solution for the incentive management system should have features such as dashboards, data mining,
and geo-mapping reports.
16
Data Mining
Data mining requirements are met using exploratory data analysis, statistical technique, and simulation models.
We believe the following solutions for customer segmentation and profiling will improve an organization's
understanding of its customers, as well as their purchasing and response behavior, to make incentive programs
more effective.
n
Predictive modeling: Develop various predictive models to find out the customers (within different customer
segments) likely to respond to the incentive programs. This will help target the right customer with the right
incentive program and will improve the overall return on investment.
n
Fraud identification: Mitigate payments or services to fraudulent claims by constructing data driven strategies.
n
Attribute identification: Identify the key attributes of vehicle models that help in increase in sales.
n
Pattern recognition functionality: Find patterns and develop classification schemes for data in very large data
sets. This will help determine previously unknown or unexpected relationships between incentive management
factors and other incentive indicators (such as incentive spend and profitability).
n
Geo-spatial data mining: Search for and analyze relationships and patterns between data elements and
geographic components. For example, in case of a mispricing in the market, a geo-spatial data mining algorithm
can be developed to look for inherent spatial groups in the point data and assign customers to geographically
similar areas.
Big Data in Incentive Management
Big Data can help automotive companies achieve the desired sales and revenue targets by helping users make the
right decisions and thereby optimizing incentive spends. Increased competition, social media consumption, and
advance analytical techniques make Big Data an obvious choice for automotive manufacturers.
Big Data helps build intelligence into the Incentive Management System, thereby aiding manufacturers to make
the right decisions, not just on the basis of monthly or yearly data but also by using a number of internal and
external data sources with direct inputs from consumers and dealers. As can be seen in Figure 7, the Big Data
capabilities of the automotive industry for dealer and customer incentives have a lot of scope for growth.
Big Data helps build
intelligence into an Incentive
Management System,
facilitating effective decisionmaking, something that wasn't
possible a few years ago.

Incentive Management Capability Maturity Model
The Incentive Management System will vary depending on the maturity level of the existing incentive
management capabilities in an OEM. Four levels of maturity are defined and depicted at the Incentive Management
Capability Maturity Model shown in Figure 8. As an OEM moves up these levels, its incentive management maturity,
capability, and performance improve, whereas the risks associated with incentive management reduce.

The Way Forward
A state-of-the-art targeted incentive management system is vital for optimizing the incentive offerings and gaining
a competitive advantage. Quite a few automotive OEMs have already started upgrading their existing legacy
systems because the savings potential is huge. A framework can help perform a quick, detailed gap assessment of
the existing system and benchmark it against industry best practices. This will help unearth hidden areas of
improvement opportunities.
