The Problem

Margins Erode in the Dark

📄

Supplier Invoice Creep

Price increases slip through without notice. Quantity discrepancies go uncaught. Over 18 months, one client lost ₹1.8Cr to a supplier who was systematically overcharging.

💸

Hidden Platform Fees

Payment gateway charges, marketplace commissions, fulfillment surcharges—they add up. Most brands underestimate their true take rate by 4-6%.

🏷️

Promotion Profitability Blindness

"Successful" sales campaigns that actually lose money. Deep discounts on thin-margin products create negative unit economics nobody tracks.

Real Results

How We Found ₹1.8Cr in Supplier Theft

Fashion Brand, 800 SKUs

A fashion brand came to us thinking their margins were healthy at 22%. Our Margin Intelligence audit revealed a different story.

Their primary supplier had been systematically overcharging—small enough to avoid detection, consistent enough to compound. Price increases weren't matching agreements. Quantity discrepancies on bulk orders went unchecked.

"We'd been working with them for 3 years. We trusted them completely. TrueLens found 18 months of overcharging we never caught."

Questions

Frequently Asked

What data do you need for the margin audit?

We need supplier invoices, purchase orders, COGS data, and platform fee statements. If you have supplier agreements, those help us identify contractual violations. Data collection typically takes 45-60 minutes.

Can you help recover money from suppliers?

We provide the evidence and analysis. Armed with our documentation, clients have successfully recovered 40-60% of identified supplier leakage on average. We can recommend negotiation approaches but don't handle the supplier conversations directly.

How is this different from my accountant's work?

Accountants focus on compliance and reporting. We focus on operational profit leakage. We cross-reference invoices against POs, compare actual costs to agreements, and analyze patterns that suggest systematic issues. It's forensic, not transactional.

What if you don't find significant leakage?

In over 47 audits, we've always found significant issues. However, if we don't identify at least ₹30L in recoverable value, our guarantee applies—you don't pay. The risk is entirely on us.
