Explore your prevention opportunities

Preventive analytics and alerts address margin loss early, often prior to transaction and funding events. These technologies have the potential to impact from 30-70% of current postpay audit recoveries before margin loss occurs or within 90 days of transaction, improving the accuracy of your financial results in real time.

Acceleration and the value beyond prevention

The web-based Zero Hour Alerts software platform empowers retailers to prevent margin loss when possible. However, the value of alerts stretches well beyond prevention as retailers gain the ability to accelerate error resolution to even earlier intervention points.

These accelerated recovery activities can occur up to 90 days after transaction and offer a number of additional benefits:

  • Margin reporting: Deliver improved margin reporting within the current fiscal quarter
  • Financial Impact: increase in-year operating income and improve cash flow
  • Supplier Negotiations: drive accuracy of buyer and supplier negotiations

Zero Hour Visualization Dashboard

The Zero Hour Alerts visualization dashboard is a user's starting point to assess the overall alert landscape. Insights displayed via the dashboard allow users to quickly identify sources of potential margin loss and prioritize corrective action. Users are afforded tremendous flexibility as information displayed can be filtered on several elements including alert value, alert type, vendor, department, confidence score, and aging.
