Where Rebates Actually Leak

Four sources.
All four measurable.

The typical mid-market distributor leaves 1-3% of revenue with manufacturers every year through these four channels. The audit quantifies each one in dollars, with the specific manufacturer, SKU, and invoice behind every number.

~35%

SPA claims filed late or not at all

Every Special Pricing Agreement with a manufacturer triggers a claim against an invoice. Most distributors capture the obvious ones and miss the long tail, sub-$5K claims that aren't worth a human's time to file. They add up to six figures a year.

~28%

Ship-and-debit reconciliation gaps

Manufacturer issues a credit memo for the spread between standard cost and contract price. You're supposed to match every shipment to the right claim. In practice, claims fall out of sequence, get misapplied, or never get filed when the customer changes or the SKU substitutes.

~22%

Volume tier thresholds missed

You're three SKUs short of the next rebate tier in December and nobody flags it. Or the tier resets and the reset rules differ across 25 manufacturers. The dollars that should have triggered at year-end stay on the manufacturer's balance sheet, not yours.

~15%

Co-op marketing dollars expired unspent

Every major manufacturer funds co-op marketing tied to qualifying invoices. The accruals build, the use-by date passes, and the dollars revert. Most distributors burn 30-60% of their co-op pool every year because nobody owns the calendar.

The Math

Net of our 10% success fee.
Pure upside.

Assumes 1-2% of revenue recoverable in year one (conservative, most distributors recover more once continuous capture is running). Net column shows dollars to your P&L after our fee.

Every recovered dollar is traceable to a specific manufacturer, agreement clause, and invoice line, auditable end-to-end.

The Audit

14 days. Then dollars.

No ERP integration. No procurement cycle. Send us your agreements and invoice exports; we deliver a board-ready report two weeks later.

Days 1-3

Ingest

You send manufacturer agreements (PDFs are fine), 90 days of invoice exports from your ERP, and rebate program terms. We do not connect to your ERP, your manufacturer portals, or your bank. Nothing writes back.

Days 4-10

Reconcile

Agents read every agreement, match every qualifying invoice to its rebate program, recompute tier thresholds, recalculate ship-and-debit owed, and identify co-op accruals at risk of expiring. Every dollar is traceable to a specific manufacturer, SKU, and invoice line.

Days 11-14

Deliver

You get a board-ready report: total recoverable dollars, per-manufacturer breakdown, named claims ready to file, tier thresholds about to miss, and co-op accruals at risk. You keep the report. You decide what to file.

Day 14+

Recover

If you want us to file on your behalf, we do, through the same channels your AP team uses today. You approve every claim before it goes out. The agent runs continuously after the audit, catching new claims as invoices clear.

Read-only · Zero writes to your ERP · SOC 2 Type II

We never touch P21, Eclipse, NetSuite, SAP, or Infor. Agreements as PDFs, invoices as CSV, rebate programs in whatever format you have. We normalize during ingest. Your auditor gets more evidence, not less.

Why Now

The long tail is finally
economically recoverable.

Rebate recovery isn't a new category. What's new is what agents do to the unit economics of a claim. Anything below $5K used to be uneconomical to chase. That floor just dropped to ~$50.

Manual claim economics
Before

$300-$500 in fully-loaded labor per claim filed. Anything under $5K isn't worth chasing.

After

$20-$30 per claim with agents. The entire long tail, thousands of sub-$5K claims per year, becomes recoverable.

Agreement reading
Before

Every SPA is a bilateral PDF with bespoke terms, edge cases, and exclusions. An analyst can read maybe 50 a quarter accurately.

After

Agents read all 50 in an hour, flag every term that affects the claim math, and surface exclusions humans miss.

Continuous capture
Before

Quarterly true-ups, year-end scrambles, missed deadlines. Some claims expire before anyone gets to them.

After

Every new invoice that clears is matched to its rebate program the same day. No backlog, no expirations.

vs. The Alternatives

Three other ways to do this.
Here's the honest comparison.

Enable / Vistex / Flintfox

Enterprise rebate-management software
Their approach

6-month implementation, six-figure annual ACV, dedicated rebate analyst required to operate, focused on the known claims your team already files.

DistroAgents

14 days to first audit report. No platform fee. No analyst headcount. Agent finds the claims your team has never filed.

Big 4 audit / claim-recovery firms

Project-based contingency engagement
Their approach

8-12 week engagement, 30-35% contingency on recovered dollars, one-time capture. You go back to leaking the day they leave.

DistroAgents

Continuous recovery, 10% success fee, no engagement letter. Audit, then ongoing capture under the same agreement.

Your internal AP / rebate analyst

In-house finance headcount
Their approach

Processes the known, named claims tied to obvious agreements. Sub-$5K claims, expiring co-op, and edge-case tier math get triaged out for time reasons.

DistroAgents

Agents make every claim economical, including the long tail your analyst never has time to file.

CFO FAQ

The questions
your board will ask.

What does this hit in our P&L?

Gross margin, directly. Recovered rebates flow through COGS as credits, no revenue recognition change, no new line items, no GAAP gymnastics. The success fee is opex and is netted out of the recovered dollars before they hit your P&L if you prefer.

Do we have to give you access to our ERP?

No. We work from exports: 90 days of invoice line items in CSV, manufacturer agreements as PDFs, rebate program terms in whatever format you have them. The agent has zero write access to P21, Eclipse, SAP, NetSuite, Infor, or anything else. Read-only, ingest-only.

What if a manufacturer disputes a claim?

We surface the source documents, the specific invoice, the specific agreement clause, the specific tier math. You decide whether to push. Most disputes resolve at the data layer because the claim ties back to their own agreement. We don't escalate without your approval.

Will manufacturers retaliate against us for filing more claims?

They're contractually obligated to honor the programs they signed. We file through the same AP channels your team already uses; from the manufacturer's perspective, nothing changes except claim volume. In practice, the larger manufacturers prefer cleaner reconciliation, it reduces their own dispute volume.

How is this different from what our internal analyst already does?

Your analyst captures the known, high-dollar claims tied to obvious agreements. They don't have time to chase 1,200 sub-$5K claims a year, recompute tier math across 40 manufacturers monthly, or audit every co-op accrual against expiration dates. Agents do that work at $20 per claim instead of $400.

What's the downside risk?

Zero out-of-pocket. The audit is free. We bill 10% of dollars recovered after you've collected them. If we find nothing, you owe nothing. If we find $2M, you net $1.8M and we get paid out of the upside. There is no scenario where this costs you money.

Do we need clean data for the audit?

No. We've audited distributors whose agreements live in three different SharePoint folders, two filing cabinets, and one person's email. The data normalization is part of the audit, the byproduct is a clean rebate-management database you keep.

What do we walk away with from the audit?

A board-ready report: total recoverable dollars with manufacturer-level breakdown, named claims ready to file, tier thresholds at risk, and co-op pool status. Yours to keep regardless of whether you continue. If you don't file with us, you can file yourselves, we just won't catch the next quarter's claims.
