What Are the Options for Suppliers Moving Forward?
The process of disputing deductions with retailers is something of a burden and is fraught with entanglements of many kinds. The path to successfully disputing deductions is long and winding, and, for the unassuming traveler, there are many pitfalls along the way. However, SupplyPike has many resources that can be a guide en route.
SupplyPike for Target
Shipping-related deductions make up the largest dollar-amount pain point for suppliers. What’s more, shipping-related deductions are also the most likely to be invalid or the result of simple human error and, therefore, much simpler to dispute.
For these reasons, SupplyPike’s focus is on retrieving shipping-related documents. Once suppliers get a handle on their shipping documents, successful disputes are just around the corner.
SupplyPike helps fight deductions by:
- Automatically retrieving shipping documents across all
carriers, warehouses, and 3PLs. - Functioning as a central repository for all of a given supplier’s shipping documents, allowing for easy access.
- Helping as a tool for the essential first step of disputing
deductions: research.
SupplyPike’s Deductions Solution
Our software doesn’t just help you collect the information necessary to dispute illegitimate deductions. SupplyPike for Target also aids in the process of taking that information and turning it into successful disputes.
Many retailer suppliers have gone under because of
crippling deductions, more the product of human error or misunderstanding than as a reflection of any lack of quality on the product side.
SupplyPike helps to shine a light on that precarious middle ground between the product suppliers are selling and the retailer’s work of getting it on the shelves.
Here’s what it does:
- Sorts deductions by number, type, location, and amount,
so that finding the source of recurrent errors is simple. - Displays deductions data at a glance without the entanglements common with retailer portals and software.
- Saves suppliers time by gathering all the relevant information into a single place, making disputing a one-click process. Now, SupplyPike allows for suppliers to bulk-dispute,
saving even more time in the deductions process.
