Contract monitoring for retail vendor supply

The cost file should never drift from the deal. Allowances and freight checked.

AllCaps compares negotiated cost files, new-item allowances, return credits, defect allowances, and freight terms against actual invoices and deductions.

Green means item cost, allowance, return credit, and freight term reconcile.

Who it is for

Built for retailers and CPG teams managing supplier economics.

Vendor agreements are enforced through item cost files, debit memos, freight settings, and return credits. Each can drift independently.

Merchandising finance

Verify actual cost against negotiated cost files and allowances.

Vendor management

Track new-store, new-item, defect, and return allowances by supplier.

AP and deductions

Resolve freight and allowance disputes with contract-backed calculations.

Vendor terms become item rules

Cost, allowances, returns, defects, and freight are checked at the invoice line.

A cost file change or freight setting error can affect thousands of units before anyone notices.

AllCaps compares every billed item and credit to the terms that should have applied.

When item cost is wrong

The finding shows the negotiated cost, the billed cost, and the extended difference.

The economics of a vendor agreement often leak through small unit variances and missed allowances.

The exception rolls the line-level math up into a supplier-ready claim.

Across suppliers

Vendor economics need a live reconciliation layer.

The roll-up shows which vendors are clean, which credits are pending, and which cost files are out of sync.

That makes supplier recovery operational instead of episodic.

How it works

Three steps. Then it runs continuously.

01

Encode the agreement

We turn the economic terms in the vendor 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 vendor supply agreement living and see every item cost checked.

We encode item costs, allowance schedules, defect and return terms, and freight rules, then reconcile invoice and deduction history.

The first pass
  • One supplier or item family agreement.
  • Cost files, invoices, deductions, and return data.
  • Allowance, return, defect, and freight terms encoded.
  • Findings for wrong cost, missed allowance, or freight mismatch.
