What finance gets

From one total to every deal behind it

Illustrative statements and figures, anonymised.

01 · Accruals

Accruals you can stand behind

Each closed deal carries the incentive it qualified for, so accruals come from deals rather than from last year's run rate.

02 · Evidence

Evidence for disputes and for audit

Every gap has a pack: the deal, the rule and the rate in force when it closed. The same trail answers an auditor's question about an incentive line.

Which vendors are paying what they should.Which programmes have been cut.
The detail

Evidence for disputes and for audit. Every gap has a pack: the deal, the rule, the rate in force when it closed. The same trail answers an auditor's question about how an incentive line was arrived at.

A view of vendor profitability. Which vendors are paying what they should, which programmes have been cut, which lines are worth less than they were.

03 · Access

Nothing needed from finance to run

If you want the received figure matched automatically, Capture reads a single payment line from your finance system and nothing else.

Most vendors do not allow a deal to be registered after it closes.Measure the gap on one vendor before deciding.
The detail

Minimal access. Capture needs nothing from finance to run. If you want the received figure matched automatically, it reads a single payment line from your finance system and nothing else.

Most vendors do not allow a deal to be registered after it closes. Every qualifying deal that closes unregistered this quarter is incentive that cannot be recovered next quarter. Measure the gap on one vendor before deciding.
