Manufacturing
Your input costs rose. Did the price on the invoice?
Manufacturing sells on supply agreements that assume prices move: an annual review, an index, a surcharge when raw material or energy costs rise. All of it is negotiated once, then depends on somebody applying it to the billing schedule, per customer, every time. Against a high-volume trade ledger, the ones that never got applied are invisible.

Price reviews that never reached the invoice
What LeakIQ detects
- Customers invoiced an unchanged amount through one or more anniversaries
- The annualised value of each static account
- How many anniversaries have passed without a change
- The invoice history behind the flag
The problem
A supply agreement anticipates change, whether an annual review, an index-linked increase or a surcharge mechanism. Applying it means someone raising it with the customer, on the date, per account. Raw material, energy and labour costs move regardless, so a price that never moved does not read as a loss, it reads as a normal invoice while your margin quietly erodes.
How LeakIQ surfaces it
LeakIQ groups each customer's invoice history and flags the accounts whose value has never changed, with the annualised figure and the anniversary dates. It cannot see your supply agreements, so it hands your team the review list rather than claiming an under-bill.
Trade accounts ageing across a high-volume ledger
What LeakIQ detects
- Invoices past their due date and still unpaid
- How many days past terms each balance is
- Exposure per customer rather than per invoice
- Balances settled elsewhere, resolved automatically
The problem
Manufacturing runs on trade credit and a large volume of invoices, so there is always outstanding debt and most of it is normal. What is hard to see is which accounts have moved from slow to stuck, because the ledger shows a balance but not a trajectory, and nobody in particular owns the chase.
How LeakIQ surfaces it
Overdue balances surface with their age and value, rolled up to customer level and ranked by exposure, so the team works the largest real gaps first, each with an owner and the source record attached.
The same order, billed twice
What LeakIQ detects
- The same customer charged the same amount twice in a short window
- The gap between the two charges
- The excess beyond a single charge
- Both underlying records for confirmation
The problem
Orders get amended, split across deliveries and re-raised, and at volume the same order can be invoiced twice without anything looking wrong. Customers with procurement teams reconcile their own spend and find these, and a duplicate found by the customer costs goodwill on top of the credit.
How LeakIQ surfaces it
Identical charges to the same customer inside a short window, where both settled, are raised for confirmation rather than asserted as duplicates, so your team can verify before crediting.
