AI Agents for Distribution Sales and Margin Reporting
AI agents for distribution sales and margin reporting pull invoice, cost and rebate data from your ERP into reports by customer, product line and branch, and flag margin leakage such as off-contract pricing and unrecovered freight. Sales and finance leaders see margin movement before month end.
Challenges We Solve
Where Sales and Margin Reporting Breaks Down
Distribution finance teams export sales, cost and rebate data from the ERP and rebuild margin reports by hand, so leaders see margin weeks after the sale.
Data
Margin reports are rebuilt from exports
Finance exports invoice lines, costs and rebates into spreadsheets each period. The same logic is rebuilt, and versions drift.
Cost
Cost of goods is not current
Replacement cost, landed cost and supplier rebates change after the sale. Reported margin does not reflect what the product really cost.
Pricing
Off-contract pricing goes unnoticed
Customers are billed below contract price or with unauthorised discounts. Nobody sees the pattern until margin is down.
Freight
Freight and fees are not recovered
Delivery, fuel and handling costs are absorbed on some orders. Reports show product margin without the full cost to serve.
Customers
Customer profitability is unclear
Large customers can look profitable on sales volume and weak on margin once returns, freight and rebates are counted.
Timing
Reports arrive after decisions are made
By the time margin reports are ready, pricing and quoting decisions have already moved on.
