Quota Allocation (Kontingentierung)

Quota allocation refers to the rule-based distribution of limited quantities to defined recipient groups — tickets, campaign merchandise, promotional products or budgets. Instead of ordering freely, every dealer, location or guest receives a fixed quota. Allotment, drawdown and remaining quantities are managed systemically, so scarce goods arrive where they are planned.

Relevance

Without quotas, the fastest orderer clears the warehouse.

In marketing operations, many goods are deliberately scarce: VIP tickets, limited fan merchandise, campaign displays, budget pools per region. Quota allocation distributes them fairly across sales partners and locations, keeps budgets controllable and makes remaining quantities plannable — in the closed order shop as much as on match day.

Example: ten locations share 1,000 campaign kits. An allowance of 80 kits per location reserves 800 kits, leaving 200 centrally. Allocation assigns these quantities. When one location orders 30 kits, its remaining allowance is 50. An additional allocation from the reserve requires the agreed approval.

Prowerb context

Prowerb manages quotas in the system, not in a spreadsheet.

Every allotment is booked, every drawdown traceable.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about quota allocation.

For which goods does quota allocation pay off?

For anything deliberately scarce: VIP tickets, limited fan merchandise, campaign displays, promotional products and budget pools per region. Quota allocation distributes these goods on a rule basis across sales partners and locations, instead of leaving it to order sequence.

How do quotas prevent individual orderers from clearing the warehouse?

Every dealer, location or guest receives a fixed quota instead of open ordering. Allotment, drawdown and remaining quantities are managed systemically — in the closed order shop, permissions and quotas are stored per user group.

How does Prowerb map quotas technically?

In the system, not in a spreadsheet: every allotment is booked, every drawdown traceable. Bookings run in real time in the proprietary system PROWERB CORE, so remaining quantities stay plannable at any time.

Does this also work for person-specific ticket processes?

Yes. Prowerb operates the hospitality chain for Coca-Cola from ticket request through quota allotment to accreditation. The person-specific clearance within a quota — guest names, access, proof — is part of the process.

Can quotas also be managed for dealers in a B2B portal?

Yes. In the example, each dealer initially receives an allowance of 80 kits. After ordering 30, its remaining allowance is 50. Periods, additional allocations and approvals are agreed before launch; the service page explains portal operations.

How do we find out whether our order process needs quotas?

In the non-binding Needs Check: in under 60 seconds, we clarify which goods are scarce, who is allowed to allot, and how drawdowns should run. After that, a dedicated contact supports you instead of a call center.
