The emerging-brand squeeze
Deductions are a tax on selling through retail, and they don't scale down for small brands. You face the same shortage claims, MCB chargebacks, pricing discrepancies and promotional billbacks as a national brand — but without the finance headcount to dispute them. So the money gets written off as “the cost of doing business.” A large share of it isn't.
Why enterprise tools don't fit
The well-known deduction platforms are built for scaling and enterprise brands: sales-led, platform-priced, and heavy to onboard. For a founder or a two-person ops team, that's more system — and more commitment — than the problem needs. You don't need an operating system; you need to see what you're owed and get it back.
How this works for a lean team
- See it for free. Upload a remittance and get a categorized, recoverable-dollar estimate in seconds — no signup, file never leaves your browser.
- Do it yourself, cheaply. If you have a little time, self-serve software drafts the disputes and tracks deadlines for a low monthly fee.
- Or hand it off. No time? We file the disputes on contingency — you only pay a share of what we recover, nothing if we recover nothing.

Why do deductions hit emerging CPG brands so hard?
Emerging brands sell through the same distributors as large ones but without a deductions analyst to fight back. A single shortage or double-billed promo can be a meaningful share of a month's margin, and the manual work of disputing before the window closes is exactly what a lean team doesn't have time for.
We're small — is recovery even worth it for us?
Often yes, precisely because the dollars matter more at your size. The way to know is to analyze a remittance for free: if the recoverable amount is small, you've spent nothing; if it's large, you've found cash you were about to write off.
Can we afford this without an enterprise budget?
Yes — that's the point. The analyzer is free, self-serve software is a low flat monthly fee, and done-for-you recovery is contingency-based, so you only pay a share of what's actually recovered. There's no enterprise platform fee to justify.
