Find the deductions you can still dispute — in five working days.
We check a year of your deductions against your own delivery records. By day two you have the list you can still file. By day five you see the bigger number: what leaks every year, and where to stop it.
Every week you wait, more deductions pass their dispute window.
For footwear, activewear, fashion, home, toys, and health and beauty brands selling wholesale into two or more retailers.
Suppliers typically lose 5–7% of revenue to retailer deductions. The audit shows what yours really is.

The first 5 brands get founding pricing. In return, we ask for honest feedback and, if the audit earns it, a short case study.
Money you can win back this week. A leak you can stop for good.
Your urgent list.
Every deduction that was never disputed, is still inside its dispute window, and usually gets won.
It’s sorted soonest deadline first, with the document that answers each one.
It’s yours to file, whatever you decide next.
This year’s list is the start. The real win is stopping next year’s leak.
By day five you know which retailers and reason codes cause it, so you can fix it at the source.
Your full results.
A summary in plain words.
What deductions cost you over the year, how much is agreed trade spend, and how much your documents suggest was never owed.
Deductions by retailer.
Every deduction totalled for each retailer and set against your sales to them, so you can see which account costs you most.
Deductions by reason code.
Every deduction grouped by cause, such as shortages, compliance fines, pricing errors, and damage and returns, so you know what to fix first.
The full workbook.
Every figure traces back to a line in your own data, so your finance team can check our work.
A 45-minute walkthrough.
We go through every number with your team. If you want it, we’ll also show what deductions cost you to handle today next to a quote for a system built for your retailers. That part is optional.
The audit is complete on its own. The system quote is optional, and there’s no pressure to take it.
That’s what lands on your desk. But is it built for a business like yours? ↓
Built for brands selling wholesale into major retailers.
The audit fits brands selling into two or more retailers, such as department stores, big-box chains, sporting goods, beauty and home retailers. Each runs its own rules, portals and dispute deadlines, which is where deductions slip through.
It works whether or not you already use a deduction tool or recovery firm.
If you do, the audit shows what’s still slipping through.

Fast only matters if the numbers hold up. Here’s how we check them. ↓
A method your CFO can follow. Four steps, no cherry-picking.
Here’s how a year of deductions becomes a number you can trust.
Nothing is left out.
Every deduction in your list goes into the totals, for the full year.
No one picks the results.
We check your largest deductions plus a random sample, chosen by a fixed formula.
Checking documents is the slow part. A fair sample, the way financial auditors work, sizes the full year as a range.
Checked twice.
Each one gets a score and a one-line reason. A second analyst checks every score.
If a document is missing or unclear, we mark it can’t tell rather than guess. Nothing reaches you until the second check is done.
Only real losses count.
Co-op, markdowns and promotions you agreed to are a cost you chose, so they’re kept apart.
Every figure traces back to a line in your own data, so your finance team can check our work.
Clear lines, so you know exactly what you’re buying.
Your systems stay closed.
We work only from exported files, never portal passwords, under an NDA signed before anything is shared.
Your recoveries stay yours.
You file the disputes, and every dollar that comes back stays with you. We take no percentage.
Your cost is fixed.
You get the full price before any work starts.
Your answer is honest.
If your deductions come in lower than the industry ranges suggest, we’ll say so plainly. We never promise a recovery amount, because the retailer decides each dispute.
Fixed price. Your systems stay closed. Every dollar stays yours.

What are deductions costing you? Find out in 30 seconds.
Two inputs, set against the industry benchmark. It’s a rough range, not your real number. The audit gives you that.
Your real rate depends on your reason codes, your retailer mix and how fast disputes get filed.
That’s roughly $38K–$46K in new deductions every week, spread across 4–6 retailers, each with its own dispute rules and deadlines.
Want your real number, not a benchmark?
Benchmark: suppliers typically lose 5–7% of revenue to retailer deductions (source: SPS Commerce). The benchmark covers all deduction types. Your audit separates agreed trade spend, so your real number may be lower.
08 · FAQ
Questions finance teams ask
How is the price set?
It depends on how many retailers you sell into and how much data there is. Your fixed quote arrives within one business day, so you pay for your size, not an average.
Why not check every deduction against documents?
Gathering documents for thousands of deductions would take weeks and ask far too much of your team. Every deduction still goes into the totals. A fair, random sample shows what share are likely invalid, the same way financial auditors work.
What does my team need to do?
A 30-minute kickoff call, two exports, the documents we ask for on day two, and a 45-minute walkthrough at the end.
Is our data safe?
We sign an NDA before you share anything. We work only from exported files, never portal access, and delete or return your data when the agreement says so.
Can’t we just file the urgent list ourselves?
Yes, and you should. The list is yours either way.
What happens after the audit?
You decide. The audit is complete on its own. Some brands file the urgent list and stop there. Others use the side-by-side to decide whether to own a system built around their retailers. There’s no obligation.
What if our numbers are small?
Then you’ll know, and we’ll tell you. Most brands never get their real number at all.
