Common Pain Points

Operational Problems This
Capability Solves

Payouts That Don't Match

Amazon's settlement arrives. It's less than expected. Where's the difference? Fees you didn't account for? Returns processed? Adjustments applied?

VAT Complications

A refund is processed. The VAT adjustment needs to align with the original order. But the refund happens in a different period than the sale.

Cash Flow Guesswork

You know money is coming, but not when or exactly how much. Different marketplaces have different settlement schedules.

Multi-Marketplace Tracking

See settlements from all channels in one view. Amazon, eBay, Shopify — unified visibility into what's been paid, pending, and expected.

Tax & Settlement Awareness

Tracks order date, settlement date, and payout date separately. Refunds link to original orders with proper VAT alignment.

Cash Flow Visibility

See expected incoming payments based on pending settlements. Understand not just what you've received, but what's coming and when.

Reconciliation Support

When numbers don't match, drill from high-level variance down to specific transactions. Find discrepancies faster.

Marketplaces:
Timing mismatches that break reconciliation
Settle late
Adjust retrospectively
Reverse taxes separately
Handle refunds on different clocks
Without structured control:
Cash flow visibility breaks
Reconciliation becomes manual
Finance teams work reactively
Errors surface during audits, not operations
Critical Issue

Why This
Capability Matters

Money does not follow operational timelines.

Spreadsheets fail here because timing matters more than totals.

When settlements and refunds happen on different clocks than orders, manual reconciliation becomes impossible at scale.
