Why brands bleed revenue
Missed revenue
Shoppers hit “Out of stock” and switch brands; many never come back.
Buried in search
Out-of-stock items lose rank, hurting visibility even after you restock.
Too late to act
POS data lags; you discover outages days later, after the damage.

Margin protection
Stop bleeding margin to distributor deductions.
Spoilage. Scan-backs. Overpulls. Compliance fees. Your distributors are deducting thousands from your checks — and most brands don't catch it until it's too late to fight back.
Find
Deductions hide in check stubs, PDF attachments, and portal dashboards across UNFI, KeHE, and others. We pull them into one place so nothing slips through.
Fight
Wrong DC? Distributor ordering error billed as spoilage? We flag suspicious deductions, track dispute deadlines, and help you file before the window closes.
Monitor
See your deduction history by type, distributor, and trend over time. Know your true margin after trade spend - not just what your invoice says.
$80,000 in distributor deductions in one year - including $19,000 in spoilage charges for a DC ordering error that wasn't ours. The distributor's own team acknowledged the mistake in writing, but we still had to fight for every dollar.
Without automated tracking, we would've missed the dispute deadline entirely.

“We caught a 12-store outage across a leading grocer that would have cost an estimated $18,000 in lost sales.”
Jillian, Beach City CoffeeFrequently asked questions
How accurate is the data?
We read the live product page for each store location-not delayed feeds. We verify product match by ASIN or product name before reporting stock status.
Is it hard to set up?
Not at all. Choose the stores you want monitored and the products (ASIN/SKU). We handle the rest-data appears in your dashboard the next day.
Which retailers are supported?
We monitor across 1,800+ retail banners and ~100,000 store locations - spanning top retailers like Target, Walmart, Costco, ALDI; Kroger family banners; Albertsons Companies; Ahold Delhaize; Publix; Sprouts; Wegmans; H-E-B; CVS; Walgreens; and more. Coverage continues to expand based on client demand.
How does pricing work?
Start with a free 7-day trial. After that, it’s $0.07 per record (1 record = one store × SKU check). Cancel anytime.
What about distributor deductions?
We also track deductions from distributors like UNFI and KeHE — spoilage, promo scan-backs, overpulls, compliance fees. We surface them in one dashboard, flag suspicious charges, and track dispute deadlines so you never miss the window. Most brands lose 5–15% of gross margin to deductions they never dispute.
