DSM Easier AR Deductions Management.
Vividly's deduction scanning module easily converts those annoying PDFs to Excel and supports more than 50 common backup sources, including UNFI, KeHE, Walmart, Target, McLane, and more.
Any of these sound familiar?
Your Accounting teams might be combing through hundreds or thousands of pages of PDF files and adding up totals by hand.
Vividly helps transform your AR deductions management process by allowing bulk uploads of large PDFs that convert to spreadsheets with the click of a button. Our DSM works with complex forms of backup (UNFI, KeHE, and more), seamlessly translating them into sortable, easy-to-read Excel files.
Vividly also offers direct connections with NetSuite, as well as with certain versions of Sage and Intuit Quickbooks. Our integrations help bring your deductions into Vividly automatically, saving your team hours every week and minimizing the chance for errors or missed deductions.
You don't have the ability to easily comb through deductions due to clunky PDFs and it's impacting your P&L.
Let's be honest, identifying invalid deductions by manually combing through various types of reports and formats is cumbersome.
With the deduction backups in Excel format, spotting invalid line items becomes significantly easier.
As you sell more and run more promotions, you'll inevitably have more deductions. This should be exciting, not cumbersome! But that requires a seamless AR deductions management process.
That's why our Deduction Scanning Module is flexible and scalable as volume increases. We also accept custom requests from our clients to build new templates if we don't support the one you need!

Vividly has allowed Lily’s to efficiently create and track promotion activity with direct and indirect accounts. Not only do we have better visibility to retailer level trade rates, we are able to tighten our accrual expense based on historical views of promotional activity. Vividly has provided us the internal controls we were missing which are permission structure and contract compliance. Questions? The embedded intercom app provides comfort to those in our organization that aren’t tech-savvy individuals.

Vividly offers a strong toolset that streamlines the process, helps us stretch every dollar as far as it will go, and gives us the firm control we need over trade spend.

Director of Finance, Simple Mills
Vividly provided us the ability to scan 100+ pages of larger retailer scan and coupon bill backs and quickly built out the ability of scanning a completely new back-up source we had trouble with. With its quick turn around time on implementation and development, we are now able to much more easily reconcile our top retailers’ trade spend.
