Recovery calculator

How much are you losing to chargebacks?

Short answer: for most wholesalers and manufacturers, retailer deductions run about 2-5% of annual retail volume. On $25M of volume that is roughly $500K-$1.25M a year, and most of it is never disputed before the retailer’s window closes. A meaningful share of those deductions are invalid and recoverable.

Estimate only, based on conservative industry benchmarks: a share of annual retail volume recoverable from invalid deductions, plus the analyst time Roy replaces. Actual recovery depends on your retailers, reason-code mix, and available evidence.

What’s behind the number

Recovery is a process, not a percentage

The estimate above assumes every deduction actually gets looked at. That is the part manual teams cannot sustain, and it is the part Roy automates end to end.

Every deduction reviewed

Roy reads each deduction as it lands and classifies the reason code, including the small ones a human queue never gets to.

Only the invalid ones disputed

Valid deductions are left alone. Knowing when not to dispute protects the retailer relationship and your team's time.

Evidence assembled automatically

Invoices, BOLs, and proof-of-delivery are matched to each claim to build the packet the retailer actually requires.

Filed before the window closes

Packets go to the retailer portal or the right contact, tracked until the money comes back.

Questions buyers ask

How much am I losing to retailer chargebacks?

Industry benchmarks put retailer deductions and chargebacks at roughly 2-5% of annual retail volume for wholesalers and manufacturers. On $25M of retail volume that is roughly $500K to $1.25M a year in deductions, and the majority are never disputed before the retailer's window closes.

How much of a chargeback is actually recoverable?

Not all of it. A meaningful share of deductions are valid and should not be disputed. The recoverable portion is the invalid deductions - shortages that were actually delivered, compliance penalties applied in error, and claims that belong to a carrier or 3PL rather than to you. The calculator estimates that recoverable share plus the analyst time the work would otherwise consume.

What does the estimate include?

Two components: revenue recovered from invalid deductions, and analyst time saved. Both are modelled conservatively from a share of annual retail volume. It is an estimate only - actual recovery depends on your retailer mix, reason-code mix, and the evidence available to prove each claim.

Do I need to change systems to recover this?

No. Roy connects read-only to your ERP and retailer portals, so there is no data migration and no change to how your AR team works. Roy reviews every deduction, assembles the evidence, and files the disputes.
