Welcome to How We Scale — bite-sized tips and best practices about how to grow your #cpgbrand. ?? Today's topic: Automated Deduction Matching. --- Today, we’re looking at Vividly’s automated deduction matching tool. Any accountant who has spent their Friday drudging through emailed PDFs can tell you...manually linking chargebacks to promotions is a tedious slog. When you automate these processes, the result isn’t just a happier accounting team — it’s reclaimed lost revenue, often hundreds of thousands of dollars. In fact, industry leader Health-Ade kombucha was able to recover $700k in its first year of partnering with Vividly. Automated deduction matching means you scale more efficiently, because: (1) That reclaimed revenue can be reinvested in new opportunities (2) The accounting team can focus on big-picture strategies, instead of brain-numbing spreadsheets See how Health-Ade did it ?? https://shorturl.at/JBwqO
