Margin Leak Diagnostic

The average mid-size manufacturer leaves $200K–$500K per year on the table in missed vendor discounts, payment timing errors, and freight rate variances. This diagnostic finds exactly where.

What We Analyze

  • Accounts payable aging and vendor payment term compliance
  • Early-pay discount capture rates (2/10 Net 30 and similar)
  • Days payable outstanding (DPO) vs. optimal payment timing
  • Duplicate and overpayment detection
  • Freight rate variance analysis — contracted vs. actual rates
  • Accessorial charge patterns and recovery opportunities
  • Material price variance trending — 12-month cost drift by commodity/component
