Case Study: How Valoroo Saved a North American Food Manufacturer an Additional $1MM in Retail Deductions

Customer:

One of the leading North American food manufacturers supplying major retail and distribution networks such as Amazon, Sam’s Club, Target, Walmart, dollar stores, pharma stores, grocery distributors, wholesale clubs, and national distribution networks

Background:

Large retail partners impose strict compliance requirements on suppliers, leading to frequent chargebacks and deductions for non-compliance. These deductions occur when retailers subtract money from supplier invoices due to issues such as:

• • Purchase Order Acknowledgment Delays – Orders must be acknowledged within a set timeframe.
  • On-Time Delivery – Late shipments result in penalties.
  • Accurate Shipping Documentation – Errors in paperwork can trigger chargebacks.
  • Product Overages, Shortages, or Damages – Any discrepancies between orders and deliveries lead to financial adjustments.
  • EDI/API Accuracy and Timeliness – Electronic data exchange must be precise and timely.
  • Invoicing Accuracy and Timeliness – Incorrect or delayed invoices result in deductions.

These chargebacks can significantly impact the company’s bottom line, making it crucial to identify, dispute, and recover lost revenue efficiently.

Challenge: 

The company was facing a high volume of deductions, leading to substantial financial losses. Despite disputing a significant percentage, over $1M remained unresolved, affecting overall profitability.

Impact:

With Valoroo’s intervention and automation, the company saw a 95% reduction in outstanding deductions, saving an additional $1MM in retail deductions in just one year.

Figures have been rounded and slightly adjusted to protect client confidentiality while preserving performance accuracy.

How the Valoroo Team Contributed:

While some automation tools are used to dispute chargebacks, the majority of the process remains manual and requires human expertise. Valoroo provided a dedicated team to handle the complex, time-consuming work of disputing deductions, ensuring greater accuracy, efficiency, and financial recovery.
