Pricing audit · wholesale distribution

Your ERP recorded the cost increase.
Nobody checked whether the price followed.

Send two exports — sales lines and purchase lines. We find the customer × SKU relationships quietly losing margin, put an annual dollar figure on each, and attach the invoices behind every one.

Three things leak. None of them reach the P&L.

Every one of these is arithmetic somebody could do by hand, on a book nobody has time to read line by line. That is the entire opportunity.

Illustrative — figures from the sample audit
FindingAnnual value
Cost rose. Price did not. A supplier raises you $43 a unit in February. Most customers get repriced within the month. Four never do — and nobody notices, because the margin is still positive, just thinner than it was. $74,613one customer, one SKU
A special price, frozen since 2019. Set for one big order and never revisited. Comparable customers pay 14% more for the same item today. Nobody is arguing about it because nobody is looking at it. $39,441one customer, one SKU
Sold under landed cost. Never a strategy — a unit-of-measure mixup, a stale cost record, a rep with more discretion than the margin allows. This one is arithmetic on two invoices. $5,172high confidence

How it works

  1. Upload whatever your system will give you

    Sales lines and purchase lines, ideally twelve months. CSV, Excel, or a zip. Odd column names are fine — we map them. If it is incomplete, send it anyway and we will tell you what is missing.

  2. You get a data check, free

    Before any dollar figure: what mapped, what did not, how much of your sales volume has cost coverage behind it, and every row we could not read. If your export cannot support an audit, we say so and you have spent nothing.

  3. The audit is $99

    A ranked list with an annual dollar figure on each finding, the specific action to take, and the invoice and receipt rows underneath it. One self-contained file — open it, print it, forward it.

We are early and would rather say so. This is a new service and we are taking few customers while we learn what real exports look like. Allow up to ten business days — usually sooner, but we would rather beat a slow promise than miss a fast one.

Read one before you send anything

A complete audit, produced by the same engine that will read your file. The data in it is synthetic — a generated distributor book, because a real customer's is not ours to publish. The format, the arithmetic and the evidence trail are exactly what you receive.

Open the sample audit
01

Two totals, never added together

High-confidence findings and review-pool findings are different claims. Blending them into one headline number is how a report like this loses its credibility on page one.

02

The rows underneath every number

Invoice and receipt lines, with the calculation written out, so your controller can check the arithmetic by hand instead of trusting us.

03

Data health before money

What was missing, what was assumed, and precisely what that does to the figures — printed ahead of the findings, not buried behind them.

04

Deliberately conservative

Targets cap at what comparable customers already pay — never the highest price observed — then get discounted again. We would rather under-claim and be believed.

Your data

Asked for

Five columns, twice

Invoice date, customer, SKU, quantity, price. Receipt date, SKU, quantity, cost. No contacts, no contracts, no bank details, no system access.

Used for

Your audit, and nothing else

Never sold, never shared, never used in another company's report. Ask us to delete it and it is gone the same day, whether or not you bought anything.

Or don't

Run the check yourself

The data check runs offline on your own machine and writes nothing to disk. Ask and we will send it — then you share a file only if you decide to.

Customer names and item codes can be replaced before you export — the audit works fine on CUST-0001 and ITEM-4471. If that makes this an easier decision, do it.

Send it over

Charged onlyafterthe free check

Nothing is charged now, and nothing will be without you asking. Upload, read your data check, then decide.

Intake

We reply with the free data check. If the export is missing something, we tell you exactly what to re-export. What we do with your data.

Questions people actually ask

Will this need our IT department?
No. If you can run a sales history report and a receipts report and save them as Excel, that is the whole requirement.
Our data is a mess.
That is the normal case, and it is exactly what the free check is for. Duplicate invoice numbers, mixed units, missing costs, credit memos and free goods are all handled — and anything that cannot be trusted is stated plainly rather than averaged quietly into a number.
Wouldn't our ERP already flag this?
Some do, for part of it. If yours produces a ranked list of customer × SKU relationships with the dollar value of each and the evidence attached, you do not need us — and we would genuinely like to know which system it is.
What if you find nothing?
Then you have paid nothing, and you know your pricing discipline holds. That is a real result and worth having.
Can you fix it for us?
No. We never touch your systems and write nothing back. You get the list and the evidence; your team decides what moves.
Who is behind this?
A very small operation — which is why the price is $99 and the turnaround is up to ten business days. You are corresponding with the person who built it.
