Contract monitoring for manufacturing inputs

Index clauses need math every period. Not a price-file guess.

AllCaps recalculates steel, resin, aluminum, energy, and freight pass-through formulas against published indexes and supplier invoices.

Green means the index month, base, cap, surcharge, and rebate all reconcile.

Who it is for

Built for manufacturers exposed to formula-priced inputs.

Raw material contracts often use published indexes, base prices, lag periods, and surcharges. A small formula error multiplied across volume becomes real money.

Procurement

Verify supplier price changes against the exact index formula.

Plant finance

Track surcharge and rebate effects by facility and production period.

Category leaders

See where take-or-pay or volume tiers are creating recoverable credits.

Index formulas become rules

Base price, index movement, lag, cap, and surcharge are recalculated every period.

The supplier invoice usually shows a price. It rarely proves the price was computed from the right index publication, month lag, and cap.

AllCaps turns the clause into a repeatable calculation and compares expected unit price to billed unit price.

When the wrong index month is used

The finding shows the formula, the index value, and the overcharge.

Index-linked contracts are not market spot buys. The contract defines the reference, the lag, and the pass-through.

A documented exception gives procurement a clean basis for credit recovery.

Across input categories

Every formula-priced material should be monitored like a live calculation.

Steel, resin, aluminum, chemicals, and packaging each carry their own formula language.

The roll-up shows which inputs are clean and where supplier billing has moved outside the contract.

How it works

Three steps. Then it runs continuously.

01

Encode the agreement

We turn the economic terms in the raw materials supply agreement into rules: rates, thresholds, caps, credits, formulas, and exceptions.

02

Connect the evidence

Invoices, statements, usage files, claim data, settlement reports, and performance records run against those rules as they arrive.

03

Collect what is owed

Green means in line. Anything else is surfaced with the clause, calculation, period, and counterparty-ready support.

Make one raw materials agreement living and see every price update checked.

We encode the index formula, lag, base, caps, surcharge rules, tier thresholds, and rebate mechanics, then recalculate every invoice period.

The first pass
  • One material supply agreement.
  • Supplier invoices and volume history.
  • Index, surcharge, cap, and rebate terms encoded.
  • Exceptions for formula drift, wrong index month, or missed tier credits.
