Deduction Management ROI calculator
Amazon and Walmart suppliers can often overlook deductions, but those small charges can add up to a big impact on the bottom line.
As much as 1-5% of revenue can be lost each year through chargebacks, shortages, and accruals. Recovery is possible, but what is the cost of dealing with these complex processes?
We created a free-to-use calculator that can instantly offer you a snapshot of how much you could be owed alongside how much expert deduction management would cost.
Summer Sales Events Across Ecommerce
Next week sees the start of many of the big sales events for the summer:
- July 6-12: Target Circle Week
- July 7-10: Kohl’s Summer Cyber Deals (twice as long as in 2024 and includes free shipping on all orders)
- July 7-13: Best Buy Black Friday in July
- July 8-11: Amazon Prime Days (twice as long as previous Prime Days)
- July 8-13: Walmart Deals (available in-store and online for the first time)
With many overlapping days, target audience, and categories, savvy customers are expected to hunt around for the best prices. Due to many retailers extending their sales events, sellers will need to keep an eye on their listings for any last-minute shifts in pricing or strategy for longer than in previous years.
