Common Questions

Choose the path that defines your business's future.

What is MSA?

expand_more
MSA administers the MultiCAT electronic reporting system that tobacco manufacturers require from every wholesale distributor. If you purchase tobacco products directly from manufacturers, you are required to submit weekly sales and inventory data through this system to maintain your direct purchasing status and qualify for manufacturer rebates.

What is MultiCAT?

expand_more
MultiCAT Lite automates your weekly MSA tobacco compliance reporting. It captures your sales data, formats it into the required MultiCAT file format for each manufacturer and trade program, and produces submission-ready files you can upload directly to MSA. What takes 3+ hours per week by hand takes approximately 5 minutes with MultiCAT Lite.

What happens if I miss reports?

expand_more
Missing reports can result in the loss of your direct purchasing status with manufacturers, meaning you can no longer buy product at wholesale pricing. You may also forfeit earned rebates and prevent your retail customers from participating in brand-specific loyalty and incentive programs. Consistent, accurate reporting protects both your margins and your customer relationships.

Which manufacturers are supported?

expand_more
MultiCAT Lite supports all major tobacco and consumer goods manufacturers that participate in the MultiCAT reporting system, including Altria, RJ Reynolds, Commonwealth, Swisher, and others — as well as candy manufacturers like Mars and Hershey. Each manufacturer has slightly different formatting requirements, and MultiCAT Lite handles these variations automatically."

Which ERP systems handle MSA compliance, warehouse scanning, and mobile ordering in one platform?
