The problem

Why this exists

Discounts, rebates, claims and billing errors quietly reduce profit, and nobody checks every line.

  • Rebates and claims are missed.
  • Invoices do not match contract terms.
  • Discount rules are applied inconsistently.
  • Recovered value is never tracked.

What it does

  • Checks of contracts, invoices, claims and credit notes
  • Exception list ranked by value
  • Evidence records for each case
  • Recovery workflow and progress tracking

Reconcile the commercial trail

From approved price to invoice and settlement

The review connects the contract or approved price with invoices, discounts, rebates, exceptions, credits and settlements. Differences are grouped by root cause and supported with the available records, so finance and commercial owners can investigate the highest-value exceptions first.

FAQ

Profit Leakage Finder questions, answered

How this solution scopes, integrates, and proves value.

It is a service that checks contracts, invoices, rebates, claims and credit notes against your agreed rules to find pricing and billing errors that quietly reduce profit. We connect your contract, sales and finance data, run the checks, rank the exceptions by value, and send each case to the right owner with supporting evidence. Recovery is then tracked so repeat issues are visible. Most clients see a first ranked exception list within four to six weeks.

Usually contracts or price agreements, invoices, credit notes and rebate records for one customer or supplier group are enough to start. We use this to build the comparison rules and identify the first set of exceptions. Starting with one group keeps the initial review manageable and lets you see real recovered value before expanding coverage to more customers or suppliers.

We provide the exception list, evidence and a value ranking, and can support the recovery workflow, but claims and negotiations with customers or suppliers stay with your team. This keeps you in control of relationships while removing the manual work of finding the errors in the first place. Recovery progress is tracked so you can see how much of the identified leakage has actually been recovered.

Both models work. Many clients start with a one-time review of a customer or supplier group, priced as a fixed project fee based on data volume, then move to ongoing monthly checks priced as a smaller recurring fee. Ongoing checks catch new leakage as it happens rather than waiting for another one-time audit, and value is measured through leakage found and value recovered.

A manual audit is slow, covers a limited sample, and rarely gets repeated often enough to catch new issues. The profit leakage finder automates the comparison across contracts, invoices, rebates and credit notes, ranks every exception by value, and can run repeatedly rather than as a one-time exercise. This means more of your transactions get checked and issues are caught closer to when they happen.
