Tobacco Scan Data Reporting

The deal you can't offer
is the customer you lose.

Manufacturer-funded deals — multi-pack, loyalty, now Personalization Plus — only run if your store is on the scan data program. Off it, you can't provide the discount, and the customer buys it down the street. On it, every discount you give comes back: InsightRS submits the proof, Altria and R.J. Reynolds cut you the check. A certified provider for a decade — Tier 2 today, ranked among the top for data quality, with Tier 4 + the Loyalty App rolling out now.

The scan data program

A certified third-party provider,
ranked at the top.

Here's the whole chain. You ring the discount at the register; we file the scan data that proves it — to Circana for R.J. Reynolds, to MSA for Altria — and the manufacturers send the rebate straight to you. We file it clean, on time, automatically, every week. You never log into a manufacturer's site or chase a submission deadline.

And clean is the whole game. Submit bad data and the manufacturer flags it, emails you the complaint, and holds your money until you fix it and resend. Ours goes in clean, so that loop never starts — the rebate lands in full, on schedule, and you never lose an afternoon to a rejected file.

Tier 4 can't be bolted on. A pass-through integration tops out at Tier 3 — it moves the data and stops there.

Tier 4 means running the customer side too: identity, manufacturer-funded offers, the Loyalty App. That's a stack you build, not a feature you add. InsightRS runs all of it because InsightRS built all of it.

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 is how you audit it — it lays out every manufacturer 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.

Pricer

We built Pricer on Altria's
own price & promotion API.

InsightRS developed Pricer using Altria's price and promotion API as an early-access partner — a direct line to the source, not a copy of the website everyone else fights with. Every buydown, multipack, and loyalty allowance for the cycle pulls in clean, mapped to the exact items it covers, so the full value you're owed shows up in the data you submit.

Pricer — Altria buydown, multi-pack, and loyalty allowances with the live pricing grid, inside the InsightRS back office
  • Straight from the source
    An early-access API partnership pulls every allowance directly from Altria — not retyped off the notoriously difficult website. What you price against is exactly what Altria published.
  • The full allowance, captured
    Buydown, multipack, and loyalty allowances land mapped to the items they cover, so every dollar you're owed lands in the submission — nothing left on the table.
  • Compliant by default
    Drop below the non-promoted eligible price and Pricer flags it on the spot — so you stay compliant, keep the allowance, and the rebate stays clean.

Collect what's yours.

Scan data and Pricer are built into Insight POS. Pricing is on the website.
