TradeScan

Deduction Visibility

Gain visibility into Amazon deductions, chargebacks, shortages, and operational fees that are often difficult to analyse manually. TradeScan consolidates financial and operational transaction data into a structured overview, helping manufacturers identify where potential revenue leakage occurs.

Typical analysis areas include:

• Chargebacks
• Shortages
• Overbillings
• Compliance deductions
• Promotions & marketing deductions
• Subscribe & Save deductions

TradeScan transforms highly fragmented deduction data into actionable financial insights.

Recovery Analysis

TradeScan uses advanced reconciliation and matching technology to analyse invoices, payments, purchase orders, shipments, and deductions against Amazon Vendor Central data.

The service identifies discrepancies and highlights potentially recoverable amounts with supporting evidence structured in a clear dashboard format.

Key benefits:

• Automated analysis of complex datasets
• Reduced manual financial investigation
• Faster identification of recovery opportunities
• Structured financial reporting

Manufacturers maintain full visibility into all identified cases before any recovery action is initiated.

Recovery Workflow

TradeScan follows a structured recovery process designed to minimise effort for manufacturer teams while ensuring full control over approvals.

The process includes:

• Secure onboarding and NDA
• Vendor Central access configuration
• Scan and reconciliation analysis
• Dashboard presentation of findings
• Manufacturer approval step
• Recovery submission and reimbursement handling

TradeScan operates on a no cure / no pay basis — manufacturers decide which recovery opportunities to pursue.

Recovered amounts are reimbursed directly into the manufacturer’s Vendor Central account.

Financial Impact

Amazon accounting environments process high transaction volumes and automated deductions daily. Even small discrepancies can result in significant accumulated profit leakage over time.

TradeScan helps manufacturers:

• Recover lost revenues
• Improve deduction transparency
• Reduce financial leakage
• Increase operational efficiency
• Strengthen internal financial controls

The service is particularly valuable for Finance and Accounting teams seeking greater control over retailer deduction management.
