In the competitive consumer packaged goods (CPG) marketplace, every dollar counts. While retailers are often unavoidable hurdles for CPG suppliers, distraction and inconvenience from retailer deductions, chargebacks, compliance claims, etc. could bring unforeseen challenges. While a dollar or two represents small loss on each deduction, they can combine to become millions in lost revenue each year. Business leaders want and need a better way to get smarter about tracking, managing, and disputing retail deductions.
That’s where Marginwiz Software can help. Designed specifically for today’s CPG companies, Marginwiz Software blends automation, artificial intelligence, and streamlined integration to move deduction management quickly, and profitably into the 21st century. This blog will discuss what Marginwiz Software is, how it works, and why leading brands across CPG trust it to protect what they earn (margins).
The Challenge of Retailer Deductions
Retailers place deductions for many reasons: late deliveries, pricing variances, promotional compliance, and data discrepancies. Some claims are justified, but some are not, leaving suppliers with quite a headache.
The problem is compounded when an organization relies on manual processes, or outdated methods such as spreadsheets to keep track of the deductions made. Finance teams spend countless hours chasing data, pulling invoices, and preparing dispute claims and are just unable to submit before the deadline or that results in an inability to recoup that lost money.
This constant struggle sap team resources and puts strain on retailer relationships. It is necessary for a business to have a system that reduces the time to manage deductions and makes them smarter and more accurate: that’s what Marginwiz Software does.
