How Rivvun Delivers It
The System of Outcomes
-
01
Detect
Trade Promotion Sentinel tests every claim before it clears: claimed versus entitled by promotion event, with window, rate, cap and proof from the agreement.
-
02
Enforce
Promotion terms are enforced on settled claims as well as new ones. The same checks run over 12 to 24 months of payments to recover duplicate, overstated and unearned deductions, and to answer retailer post-audits within their response window.
-
03
Prevent
Superseded windows and rates cannot clear, each benefit is checked across every settlement route, and payouts wait for sell-through and performance proof, not ship-in.
-
04
Scale
Evidenced claims auto-clear inside policy across every retailer and distributor, invalid ones are disputed with proof, and ambiguous ones go to a person.
What Finance Sees
Every outcome is recorded against the transaction and contract term behind it.
- Trade fund protected before clearing
- Invalid and duplicate claims prevented
- Historical claims recovered within post-audit windows
- Accrual variance at close and write-off value
- Disputed-claim cycle time and evidence coverage
Questions
What Is Trade Promotion and Settlement Assurance?
Agreement-aware validation of trade claims before they clear. Trade Promotion Sentinel reconstructs what each promotion was entitled to from the agreement, deal sheet, amendments and approvals, checks the claim against proof of performance and every other settlement route, and clears, short-pays or disputes it under policy, inside the systems you already run.
We Already Run SAP TPM, Salesforce, Vistex and HighRadius. What Does This Add?
Keep them. They validate the claim against the promotion as it was keyed, one route at a time. Rivvun validates the promotion against the agreement, and checks whether the same benefit was already granted through off-invoice, scan, bill-back, lump-sum or distributor routes. The test is simple: run it against twelve months of settled claims and see the corrections your stack did not make.
Is This Prevention or Recovery?
Prevention first. Claims are tested before they clear, so duplicate, drifted, shipped-not-sold and unproven claims never leave the fund. The same entitlement logic then runs over 12 to 24 months of settled claims to recover what already leaked, and to answer retailer post-audit claims within their response window.
Will This Put Our Retailer Relationships at Risk?
No. Sales keeps the relationship and the decision. The Sentinel brings the evidence; a correction can be commercially conceded, and the concession is logged with its value. Disputes become conversations about facts, and most retailers prefer settlement in days on evidence to months of argument.
Does Rivvun Do Revenue Growth Management?
No. Revenue growth management decides where trade money should go; Rivvun proves where it went. The Sentinel feeds it evidenced, settled spend per event, a live fund position and the clauses that leak by design.
What Data Does It Need?
Read-only access to trade-terms agreements, deal sheets and approvals; promotion and fund records from TPM; accruals from the ERP; deductions, remittances and claims from the deductions platform or EDI; and performance evidence such as POS and scan data, retail-execution proof and portal claim packs.
Can the Agent Clear or Dispute a Claim on Its Own?
Only within policy. Fully evidenced claims clear inside configured confidence and value thresholds, clearly invalid claims are disputed with the evidence pack attached, and ambiguous ones go to a person. Material actions require accountable human approval with segregation of duties.
How Is Value Measured?
Fund protected before clearing, invalid and duplicate claims prevented, historical claims recovered, accrual variance at close, disputed-claim cycle time, write-off value and evidence coverage, each tracked as an evidence-gated state and reconciled to the general ledger.
How Do We Start?
With a Trade Settlement Value Scan on 12 to 24 months of settled claims, promotion events, agreements and accruals for one or two top retailers. You get a ledger of corrections your current process did not make, each with its entitlement and evidence.
