Un-Captured Commodity Price Drops & Middleman Markups
Suppliers push immediate price hikes when raw material indices rise, but keep contract prices flat when indices fall 10%–15%. Meanwhile, plants unknowingly buy components through zero-capacity traders at a 20%–30% markup instead of directly from the OEM.
Sub-Tolerance Overbilling & Split Orders
Vendors systematically bill above PO price (just beneath ERP tolerance block), buyers split requisitions to bypass competitive bidding and approval gates, or retroactive price increases are keyed after goods are received.
Early Disbursements & Period-Close Exceptions
Invoices are paid weeks ahead of contractual due dates, creating working-capital drag, early-settlement discounts go uncaptured, and manual period-end journal entries create balance-sheet close bottlenecks.
Revenue Leakage, Channel Stuffing & Compliance Exposure
Quarter-end sales spikes reverse via post-period credit memos, unapproved discounts erode gross margin, customer credit limits are breached, and post-clearance trade or third-party integrity risks go undetected.
Data Normalisation
Strips out routine operational noise (intercompany transfers, tax and utility runs) and normalises every price across payment credit terms, freight incoterms and units of measure, suppressing false positives before review.
Market & Registry Intelligence
Fuses your internal ERP ledger with live commodity indices (Steel, Copper, Polymers, Fuel) and official supplier registries (verified factory workforce, tax filings, corporate ownership, and litigation records).
Pre-Drafted Action & Recovery Packs
Groups findings into deduplicated Opportunity & Risk Packets, checks open unpaid payables for immediate cash set-off, and pre-drafts supplier renegotiation or debit memos for 1-click approval.
