Move from value loss to value gain
Deduction disputes are time-consuming and cost more than they’re worth. Suppliers often receive reduced payments with little explanation, while buyers are forced to retroactively piece together supporting evidence — every broken process like this is an opportunity to increase efficiency.
Vendor relationship management software providing whole business health benefits
Connected processes, centralized information
A single portal for suppliers and buyers consolidates supporting documentation and centralizes inquiries into a single tool for custom workflow routing, streamlining processes and providing greater visibility.
Reduced costs, higher margins
Predictable, uniform and scalable processes allow buyers and suppliers to self-serve their research of supporting evidence, freeing significant resources, reducing incoming disputes and operational costs, and saving money on avoidable repayments.
Stronger supplier relationships
By reducing the frequency of disputes we can reduce vendor abrasion and strengthen relationships, in turn unlocking opportunities to increase supply chain resilience and preserve negotiating leverage.

Supplier inquiry & dispute capability
Buyers can configure a predictable, uniform and scalable process for suppliers to research supporting detail for potential payment disputes or deductions prior to initiating a question, comment or dispute. Our cloud-based solution enables consistent treatment of all suppliers around the globe and gives buyers a single point of control and visibility, reducing overall effort required to manage the resolution processes.
Payment & deduction remittance visibility
On a micro or a macro level, suppliers can view history and buyer payment behaviors to identify trends and outliers across buyers, categories, regions or other variables. Armed with this data, suppliers can easily identify buyers who are outside of payment compliance and address any process breakdowns.
Integrated detail backup support
Buyers submit all necessary and appropriate support for deductions when payment is remitted. The backup is inextricably connected to the payment, providing suppliers with the information they need to evaluate the deduction. If more backup is required, it’s submitted in the same ticket, again connecting it to the original deduction.
Configurable user permission & workflow
All inbound supplier queries can be routed to specified parties throughout the buying organization to ensure speedy resolution. Inbound queries are tracked at the point of input and throughout the resolution process against a complex set of attributes. This drives a robust reporting suite and delivers in-depth root cause analysis to help prevent improper deduction and unnecessary repayments back to suppliers.
