Need More Disputing Power Than Your Current TPM Provides?
Trade planning software was built to plan. Winning deduction disputes is a different discipline entirely - and most TPM platforms weren't designed for it.
If your deduction backlog is growing, your dispute win rate is stuck, or your AR team is drowning in spreadsheets, your platform isn't solving this problem. It's just not built for it.
We've heard from brands on AFS, Blacksmith, UpClear, Exceedra, and others who reached out asking whether Vividly could help with this specific thing.
The answer is yes - and you don't need to replace anything to get started.Vividly's standalone dispute processing service runs alongside your existing TPM.
Same planning workflow. Better recovery results. No rip-and-replace, no migration, no disruption.
Aging disputes pile up faster than your team can process them. Every day they sit is money you're not recovering.
Most platforms surface deductions. Very few actually fight them. Identification without action is just a better-organized backlog.
A dedicated disputes hire costs $65K–$90K before benefits and ramp time. Vividly gives you experienced capacity at a fraction of that cost.
You don't need to replace your TPM to fix your deductions process. Vividly plugs into your existing workflow - not the other way around.
Don't Take Our Word For It
“In past years we weren't disputing much because we were resource-constrained and lacked tools to help manage the volume. In 2024 we disputed $1.1M in deductions and successfully recovered $700K. Having Vividly made a significant improvement.”

"Working with Vividly was a fantastic experience. Their attention to detail and willingness to listen and iterate made the process seamless. The custom integration has significantly improved our operations, and we are thrilled with the results."
“It sounds simple, but for us, the game-changer was being able to match the sales plan with the actual deductions that were coming in. Being able to do it all in one system meant we could plan and forecast all we wanted.”
“We're able to manage the business like a big CPG company manages their business with about 5% of the resources. Vividly allows us to be more thoughtful about the decisions and make those decisions much faster.”
“We needed the help and feel that Vividly is the right partner for us. We knew we needed better infrastructure on the accounts receivable and deductions side. We could have done that by making a new hire or further investing in Vividly – it’s been a really cost-effective decision to work with Vividly.”
