THE PROBLEM
Stop Looking at Deductions One at a Time.
Retail suppliers generate enormous amounts of information across invoices, purchase orders, shipments, inventory, pricing, promotions, allowances, deductions, and retailer systems.
The problem isn't a lack of data. It's understanding what the data is telling you.
HRG is developing a new intelligence platform designed to bring that information together, uncover meaningful patterns, and help suppliers move from deduction data to better decisions.
See more. Understand more. Act sooner.
– A Different Starting Point
From Transactions to Intelligence.
Traditional deduction management often starts with a claim and ends when that claim is closed.
​
We're building something different.
A way to look across deduction activity and understand the relationships behind it.
1. Which retailers are creating the greatest exposure?
2. Which deduction types keep repeating?
3. Which items or locations are involved?
4. Where are unusual patterns developing?
5. What deserves attention first?
6. And what could the data be telling you about what happens next?
​
– WHAT CHANGES
Three Moves, From Noise to Action
1.
See what's happening.
Bring complex deduction activity into a clearer view.
See patterns across retailers, claims, products, locations and time instead of examining isolated transactions.
2.
Understand why.
Connect information that may otherwise remain separated across systems and teams.
Identify recurring activity, anomalies and relationships that may reveal why revenue is being lost.
3.
Know what to do next.
Focus attention where it may have the greatest financial impact.
Move faster from information to investigation, recovery and action.
– FIRST PHASE
Intelligence across the deductions that matter.
The first phase is being built around some of the most persistent sources of supplier revenue loss, including:
Shortages
Frieght
Allowances
Markdowns
Price Protection
Compliance
Defectives
Pricing
Rollbacks
Phantom inventory
Freight
Lump Sum Claims
Each area tells part of the story. The intelligence comes from connecting them.
– PATTERN, NOT PAPERWORK
Find the signal behind the deduction.
Shortage activity increasing around a particular item.
ITEM
Pricing claims that repeatedly appear after cost changes.
COST CHANGE
A specific location generating disproportionate deductions.
LOCATION
Inventory discrepancies and shortages that appear connected.
CONNECTION
Individually, these transactions may be difficult to see. Connected over time, they become a signal. That's the difference between having data and having intelligence.
– CONTEXT
Built on retail expertise.
Built on retail expertise.
Technology alone doesn't understand retail. Context matters.
For more than 15 years, HRG has helped retail suppliers investigate deductions, recover revenue, evaluate retailer claims, and understand the operational issues behind them.
That experience is helping shape what comes next. We're combining deep retail deduction knowledge with advanced technology to create a smarter way to understand what's happening across your retail business.

Where are we losing money?
Why do these deductions keep happening?
Which claims deserve attention first?
Which retailers, items or locations are driving the problem?
What changed?
Is there a pattern we aren't seeing?
What should we do next?
