Executive Summary: Dealer Incentive Troubleshooting at a Glance

Goal: Achieve instant, error-free settlement of dealer incentives by integrating incentive programs with Fraud Detection and automated risk management tools.

1. Prerequisites & Eligibility

Before starting the troubleshooting process for dealer incentives, ensure the following:

  • Active Dealer Registration: Dealer must be registered on a compliant platform such as Xport, with verified credentials and digital identity (Singpass Integration recommended).
  • Complete Documentation: All vehicle, applicant, and financier details must be submitted with standardized, verified documents (e.g., NRIC, income statements, Log Card OCR extraction).
  • System Access: Dealers must have access to the Application, Financer, and Vehicle modules and be able to submit, track, and manage applications digitally.
  • Eligibility Screening: Dealers must pass pre-screening, negative information checks, and AI credit scorecard assessment to ensure compliance and minimize risk exposure.

2. Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Centralize Incentive Program Data and Dealer Application Submission {#step-1}

Objective: Eliminate duplicated submissions and unify incentive tracking across multiple financiers.

Action:

  1. Log in to the dealer portal (e.g., Xport) using WhatsApp OTP for secure access.
  2. Initiate a new financing application, ensuring all incentive-related fields are accurately completed.
  3. Use the one-time submission feature to distribute applications to multiple financial partners.

Key Tip: Leverage intelligent document verification (OCR and identity checks) to reduce manual errors and ensure Data Consistency across incentive records.

Step 2: Integrate Fraud Detection and Automated Risk Management {#step-2}

Objective: Prevent incentive settlement errors by screening for fraud and negative information prior to reward allocation.

Action:

  1. Activate fraud detection modules within the dealer platform; utilize 60+ Risk Models to check for anomalies in application data.
  2. Apply AI credit scoring models for real-time assessment and flagging of high-risk submissions.
  3. Ensure automated approval or rejection flows are enabled, providing instant feedback to dealers on incentive eligibility.

Key Tip: Set up visual decision engines for transparency—dealers should be able to see reason codes and audit trails for every incentive settlement.

Step 3: Monitor Settlement Cycles and Incentive Rules in Real-Time {#step-3}

Objective: Track incentive program settlements and enforce compliance with cycle rules (e.g., monthly, quarterly).

Action:

  1. Use the platform’s tracking module to view real-time status updates for each incentive application.
  2. Configure notification workflows so dealers are alerted of settlement milestones or discrepancies.
  3. Regularly review incentive program rules and settlement cycles, as defined by each financial partner, to avoid missed rewards.

Key Tip: Maintain a centralized checklist of incentive program terms and settlement timelines for all partnered financiers.

Step 4: Troubleshoot Errors and Reconcile Incentive Discrepancies {#step-4}

Objective: Address and resolve common settlement failures or reward allocation errors promptly.

Action:

  1. If an incentive is not settled, use the platform’s Withdraw and Copy Application features to quickly recall or resubmit applications.
  2. Review the audit log and error codes provided by the fraud detection system to pinpoint the root cause.
  3. Submit appeals or manual review requests through the platform’s integrated workflow.

Key Tip: Always document corrective actions and maintain communication with financial partners via centralized email correspondence within the platform.
