01
Identify, across the full spend
hunterAI reconciles every paid line across your full spend to contracted terms and ranks where variance concentrates — so effort goes where the dollars are.
Service-as-software platform
Recover pricing leakage and continuously benchmark vendor pricing
The benchmark is your own signed contract — so every variance holds up on day one. hunterAI matches each paid invoice line to the price you agreed, and shows the gap in dollars. Identified variance becomes recovery your finance team can recognize and book.

How it runs | AS AN OUTCOME
Identification runs across your full spend first, ranking where variance concentrates. Recovery then goes deep on each opportunity — line by line, by manufacturer part number (MPN), contract, and supplier.
02
Confirm & review
Each opportunity is confirmed against the governing contract and effective dates, then reviewed with your analyst or contract manager to agree the price-selection logic — GPO, direct, or local.
03
Evidence pack for credit
Confirmed variance is compiled by MPN, contract, and supplier into a single evidence file your team forwards to the supplier to claim the credit.
Timeline
~2 weeks to first findings in the reference engagement. The scoped timeline is confirmed at kickoff, against your contract and invoice volume.
Your effort
A one-time data extract, plus analyst / contract-manager sign-off on price-selection logic — hours of your team’s time, not weeks.
Commercials
Hybrid: a contingency share of recovered overpayment plus a scoped fee for the compliance analysis.
How hunterAI is different
The defensibility problem in price work is the benchmark: challenge the number and the vendor asks “against what?” hunterAI’s answer is unarguable — against your own signed price, matched line to line.
Agreed price
Paid, at or under agreed
Overage — recoverable
How it reads — every paid line measured against the price you agreed.
Mechanism 01
Paid vs agreed, at the line item
hunterAI reconciles every paid invoice line to the contracted price that governs it. The variance is the gap between the two — priced per line, traceable to the invoice.
Mechanism 02
Your contract is the benchmark
We measure findings against the price you agreed, not an external index a supplier can dispute. That makes every variance defensible on day one — traceable to the invoice and the clause.
Mechanism 03
Your source is never altered
Contracts, price files, and AP history go in as a one-time extract. Nothing is written back. There is no system to integrate — the reconciliation runs at the line item inside hunterAI. Once the historic is cleaned, the data can be refreshed monthly for continuous monitoring and control.
Mechanism 04
Governed, Human on the Loop.
We believe in augmenting your team, not replacing. Continually working with your team to ensure accurate understandings and interpretation for irrefutable supplier interactions.
One finding, three stakeholders impacted
Procurement · The Finder
Wins credited to your team, never errors exposed
Every recovery traces line-item to a supplier’s billing drift — not your negotiation, so your team is the finder of the money. The same view arms the analyst, category manager, and head for this year’s target and the next renewal.
Supply Chain · The Sponsor
Proof the function returns cash, not just cost
Recovered variance proves supply chain returns cash to finance — non-punitive, audited, defensible. It runs alongside your existing analytics as an outcome, with zero integration and source data never altered.
Finance · The Recognition Gate
In-period cash that survives audit review
Recovered billing variance lands as in-period, non-capitalized earnings — entirely internal, at zero capex and zero IT risk, built to be recognized with a full evidence chain. Variance at this scale is systemic — a 6–14% industry recover band (Ardent Partners) — so surfacing it reads as a control strength, not a lapse.
