Client Followup Systems | Deduction Recovery for Food and Beverage Brands
Deduction recovery for food and beverage brands

Get back the money your distributors took by mistake.

When UNFI, KeHE or a retailer pays you less than the invoice, some of those deductions are wrong. We find them, prove them with your paperwork, and file the disputes before the deadline runs out.

The problem

Deductions quietly eat into your margin.

Most small brands don't have anyone checking every payment. Every deduction left unchecked past its deadline becomes permanent.

3% to 8%

of gross revenue goes to deductions for brands selling $500,000 to $5 million through distributors.

40% to 60%

of disputed deductions are recovered, as reported by recovery firms.

30 to 60 days

is about how long UNFI allows to dispute a deduction. Miss it and the money is gone.

Talk About Monthly
Why brands choose us

A real person who knows your account.

Software can sort a spreadsheet. It can't decide which charge is worth fighting, call you about a missing bill of lading, or explain to your team why the same fee keeps showing up.

One named contact

You talk to the same person every time, not a support ticket.

Every dispute reviewed by hand

Nothing is filed until a person has checked the charge and the proof.

No missed deadlines

Every open deduction is tracked against its dispute window.

Fewer charges over time

Monthly calls show why deductions happen so you can stop repeat fees.

Government

Recovery and reconciliation for public agencies.

The same work that recovers money for brands helps agencies find and recover payments made in error. We support recovery audits, payment reconciliation and overpayment review as a prime contractor or subcontractor.

About

Built by someone who has done this work for years.

Client Followup Systems was founded by a reimbursement and reconciliation professional with more than 20 years of hands-on experience reviewing deductions, matching them to contract terms, and recovering money across every kind of account: multi-billion-dollar enterprise and national accounts, regional and specialty brands, multi-brand restaurant groups, state universities, K-12 schools, and government and public sector accounts.

Before that came healthcare claims examination and policy compliance work, where every decision had to be right and documented. That same care goes into every dispute filed for our clients.

We use modern tools to sort and track the paperwork faster, but a person reviews every charge, approves every dispute and talks to every client. That part will never be automated.
