Vendor rebate recovery for distributors

Know exactly what every supplier owes you.

RebateRail converts rebate agreements and purchase history into a live earned-versus-received ledger, then keeps unclaimed and short-paid dollars visible until they are recovered.

No account, ERP connection, or supplier contact required.

How RebateRail works

From contract language to recovered cash.

The journey follows the money all the way through—because a calculated rebate is not a result until the supplier credit is received and matched.

01

The agreement and purchases start disconnected.

Finance has contract terms in a PDF, purchases in an ERP export, and claims in email. RebateRail brings those sources into one program record.

AI reads the terms. Rules do the math.

Our state-of-the-art AI agent proposes tiers, dates, exclusions, and eligible families for approval. Deterministic calculations then show exactly which purchases earned each dollar.

Claims and credits reconcile continuously.

Submitted amounts, acknowledgements, and incoming credit notes are matched back to earnings. Short-payments and unclaimed periods stay open.

Design-partner audit

Bring one rebate program. Find out what is still exposed.

We are opening a small number of hands-on audits while we validate the recurring recovery workflow with finance and purchasing teams.

01Describe the programTell us its size, cadence, and where reconciliation breaks.
02Transfer evidence securelyAfter fit is confirmed, share one agreement and purchase export privately.
03Get the recovery briefWe return earned, received, and potentially unrecovered value with assumptions.
Expected software pricingFrom $499 / month

The audit is free. If it proves recurring value, we’ll shape the paid pilot around program count and purchase volume before asking you to buy.

No card. No account. We accept a small number of audits so each one gets a real review.

Before the first agreement

Practical answers for finance teams.

No long implementation. Start with purchase-volume rebates and expand only when the recovery proves itself.

Does RebateRail submit claims automatically?

Not by default. It prepares a reproducible claim package and your team approves the submission. Follow-up automation can be enabled program by program.

Which programs work best first?

Start with purchase-volume rebates, tiered annual agreements, or quarterly programs where eligible purchases and received credits can be exported.

What files can we use?

Agreements can be PDF or Excel. Purchase history can be CSV or Excel. ERP integration is intentionally not required for the first audit.

How does it handle exclusions?

Extracted exclusions, effective dates, product families, and tier rules stay visible for human confirmation before any earning calculation runs.

Can finance reproduce the totals?

Yes. Every earned amount links to the approved rule, eligible transactions, claim record, and matched supplier credit.

What happens when the supplier short-pays?

The difference remains open with its evidence and follow-up date until another credit arrives or your team resolves it.
