Why Distribution Needs AI

The problems that cost you millions

1 in 5

Supplier Invoices Drift Off Deal

Nearly one in five invoices hits an exception — price, quantity, receipt or PO mismatch (Ardent Partners 2026: 19.9% average). In distribution that means off-deal pricing, case-vs-each confusion, and freight that was never on contract.

~37% APR

Missed Early-Pay Discounts

Passing on 2/10 net 30 is like borrowing at roughly 37% a year (2% for paying 20 days early). Invoices stuck in exception queues miss the window — and SPA discounts, billbacks and volume rebates go unclaimed on top.

1,000s/month

High-Volume AP Chaos

Hundreds of vendors, each with its own invoice layout. Split deliveries, partial receipts and short-shipped lines make PO-to-receipt-to-invoice matching a full-time job at distribution volumes.

Invoice Intelligence

AI-Powered Invoice, Receipt & Contract Matching for Distribution

Real Example

“Supplier billed 1,200 cases at $24.00 plus $285 freight — receiving logged 1,150 cases and the contract is freight-prepaid. The $1,200 receipt shortfall and $285 off-contract freight go to the AP owner with line-level evidence, and the $552 2/10 discount on the corrected amount is flagged before the window closes.”

Invoice ↔ PO ↔ receipt / proof-of-delivery matching at the line level

Deposit charge detection — keg, pallet, bottle, and container deposits flagged for separate handling

Pack-size mismatch detection — catches case-vs-each pricing confusion (12x, 24x ratios)

Contract price caps, SPA discounts, and rebate terms checked on every line

Early-pay discount detection so approvers act inside the window

Duplicate invoice and credit memo detection

UOM mismatch detection with auto-conversion (100+ unit aliases)

Fuzzy line-item matching across SKU mismatches and UOM differences

Freight and accessorials not on contract, carrier rate and fuel surcharge cap checks

All thresholds customer-configurable — no templates to maintain
