THE PROBLEM
Your margins can’t afford manual.
ERPs weren’t built for foodservice rebate complexity. So your finance and procurement teams end up managing hundreds of programs across dozens of suppliers by hand. It’s slow, error-prone, and it’s costing you real money.
Earned income slipping through the cracks
Redistributor sales, pass-throughs, buying group clawbacks, SLA exemptions — every program has dependencies your ERP can’t track. Miss one, and the rebate dollars you’ve already earned never hit your P&L.
Margin leakage you can’t see
Manual reconciliation, disconnected data, and no single source of truth means margin leakage hides in plain sight. By the time Finance catches it, the quarter is over and the damage is done. Visibility is the first step — automation is the fix.
Finance chasing dollars for months
Paper-based invoicing and manual reconciliation means your finance team spends weeks — sometimes months — collecting what suppliers already owe you. That’s cash sitting idle, cash flow under pressure, and a team that should be analyzing margins instead chasing them.
Recover & protect margin
Consolidate all sales, purchase, and program data into a single source of truth. Identify and capture earned income that manual processes miss — redistributor sales, pass-throughs, samples, returns, and more.
Automate program management
Replace manual tracking with automated rebate, allowance, and program workflows. Manage dependencies, clawbacks, and SLA exemptions in real time. Reduce errors and give your finance team hours back.
Strengthen supplier relationships
Negotiate with shared data. Resolve discrepancies faster. Unlock incremental revenue with real-time visibility into every supplier agreement, program performance metric, and outstanding claim.

My favorite thing is the post-show analytics. We sold over 800 new to customer cases, and I was able to identify that [with Meal Ticket]. Previously, it would take weeks to come up with that number. Now we have all of this great data to revert back to.
