Tell us what to build next. Win a laptop.
If you have ever wished your rebate, pricing, or chargeback software did something it doesn't, we want to hear it. Submit one idea. Best one wins.
MacBook Air 13-inch
Apple M4 chip, 16GB unified memory, 256GB SSD. Roughly $1,099 retail.
Prefer cash? Winner can take a $1,100 American Express gift card instead.
How we judge:We score every idea on three things. How real the pain is. How feasible the build is. How original the angle is.
What kind of ideas we want.
Rebate accruals, chargeback validation, price governance, dealer incentives, trade promotion ROI. Anything you do today in a spreadsheet that should not be in a spreadsheet. Three examples of the shape we have in mind.
Rebate Accruals
An accrual engine that watches transaction data live and recalculates the liability every time something material changes, instead of monthly batch estimates.
Chargeback Triage
A claim triage layer that ranks incoming chargebacks by likely dispute risk so the team works the right ones first.
Price Governance
A floor-and-ceiling watchdog that flags exception quotes the moment they leave guardrails, not three weeks later in the variance report.
Three steps. That is the whole thing.
Submit your idea below.
Three short boxes capture the pain, the fix, and what makes it original. Be specific, not exhaustive.
Our team reviews every entry.
A panel of product, engineering, and customer-facing leads scores submissions on pain, feasibility, and originality.

Quick answers.
Can I submit more than one idea?
No. One submission per person. If you send several, we judge the first one and drop the rest.
Will my idea be public?
Only the winning idea, and only if the winner opts in to public attribution. Every other submission stays private and is only seen by the judging panel.
What if I work for a competitor?
Submissions from employees of direct competitors are not eligible. The contest is for practitioners on the buyer side of the table.
Will IMA360 sell my email?
No. The IMA360 privacy policy applies. Your details are used to contact you about the contest and, if you opt in, to follow up on the pain you described.
Can I take the cash instead of the laptop?
Yes. At notification time the winner picks one prize option: a MacBook Air 13-inch (approximately $1,099 retail) or a $1,100 American Express gift card. Same contest, the winner just picks which one fits better.
Will I owe taxes on the prize?
Yes. The prize value is over $600, so the winner will receive an IRS Form 1099-MISC for the value of the prize. The winner is responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes associated with the prize.
