Why we exist
About OverDeduct
We help emerging and mid-market CPG brands recover the money distributors and retailers quietly keep — the invalid deductions most brands write off because disputing them is tedious.
The problem we're built for
Deductions — the chargebacks and short-pays that retailers and distributors subtract from what they owe you — are a large, under-fought line item for CPG brands. A meaningful share are invalid, duplicated, or preventable, yet they get written off as the cost of doing business because a lean team doesn't have time to prove otherwise before the dispute window closes.
The enterprise tools that address this are heavy, sales-led and priced for large brands. Contingency auditors have no product and only chase big accounts. That leaves the emerging and mid-market brand — the one feeling each deduction most acutely — with the fewest good options. That gap is why OverDeduct exists.
What we believe
No gatekeeping
You shouldn't have to sit through a demo to find out what you're owed. The analysis is free and ungated, pricing is public, and done-for-you is contingency — because the money is yours, not ours to hold hostage.
Built for your distributors
Most tools are Walmart-first and enterprise-priced. We go deep on the distributor lane — KeHE, UNFI and the natural/specialty channel — in plain language, because that's where emerging brands actually feel the pain.
Start free, escalate when you want a human
The free tool, cheap self-serve software, and done-for-you recovery are one ladder, not three products. Climb it only as far as you need — do it yourself, or hand it off when the pile gets big.
How we help
Start by analyzing a remittance for free to see what's recoverable. From there, dispute the lines yourself with cheap self-serve software, or hand them to us for done-for-you recovery on contingency — you only pay a share of what we actually get back. Brands with ongoing volume can hand off the whole function with our managed service.
OverDeduct publishes educational content on deductions and recovery. It is not legal or accounting advice — verify against your distributor agreements before disputing.
