Why is it important to manage deductions?


Left unchecked, deductions can cause significant financial issues for CPG brands. As distribution grows, deduction transactions grow exponentially. Industry analysts estimate that on average, 10-25% of deductions are invalid and disputable. That's up to 6% of topline revenue left on the table because of unmanaged deductions. And without knowing where the spend is going, there's no way to improve performance.

Harry D. Ductions mascot next to stats: up to 25% of your deductions are invalid, and up to 6% of topline revenue gone.

Proven Deduction Management Process

Automation and AI provide speed and scale in processing deductions, while our team of experts ensure data confidence, auditability and improved invalid deduction recovery. 

The Client submits all deduction chargebacks, checks and invoices. Documents are digitally captured and converted into a structured data set.

Next, we categorize each deduction to provide valuable insights on the reasons for the charges using our proprietary catalog of category codes that spans all major retailers and distributors.

Once deductions are categorized, your CPGenius Deductions team will research claims to determine their validity. We compare deductions to all relevant documentation you provide and report back what's valid, invalid, or needs more information.

After all claims are reviewed for validity, your CPGenius Deductions team then begins to dispute the invalid claims and submit requests for repayment on your behalf. Watch dispute statuses and sit back as the recovered cash begins to flow in!

Onboarding & Ongoing Success

Getting started with deduction management takes structured and close collaboration. You'll have a dedicated Relationship Manager from Day 1, a structured cadence for meetings and check-ins, and a comprehensive onboarding task list in the platform. Once initial setup is complete, the hardest part is over - we take it from there to ensure no deduction is missed.
