Pay what the contract says, not what the invoice says
Negotiated prices live in PDF exhibits that AP never sees. inferonIQ turns each supplier's rate card into data and checks every invoice line against it, before you pay.

When Leakage Is Caught
The problem
Why manual processes leak money and slow your business.
Rate cards are trapped in PDFs
Contracted prices sit in exhibits and appendices. AP matches invoices to the PO, so when the PO was cut at the wrong price the overcharge sails through.
Billbacks go unclaimed
Supplier depletion allowances and promotional billbacks are paid only when you claim them. Without line-level tracking against the program window, claims are missed.
Rebates are earned, not credited
Volume rebate tiers are crossed mid-year, but the credit memo never arrives unless someone is watching cumulative spend against the contract.
The solution
How inferonIQ solves each pain point.
Rate-card extraction
AI extracts every contracted item, SKU, unit price, unit of measure and billback allowance from uploaded agreements. No templates.
Governing-contract resolution
When a supplier has several agreements, the contract in force is chosen deterministically, following supersession chains, so every invoice is judged against the right terms.
Line-level contract check
Each invoice line is matched to its contracted item and priced: invoiced vs. contracted, percentage over, and dollar overcharge.
Off-contract visibility
Vendors with no contract, and lines not on the rate card, are labeled explicitly, so maverick spend is visible rather than hidden as a blank.
Billback & rebate tracking
Claimable billbacks are calculated per invoice inside each program window, and rebate tiers are tracked against cumulative spend.
Expiry & renewal risk
Invoices under lapsed or soon-to-expire agreements are flagged with the notice period, so pricing protection never lapses silently.
Complete workflow
Every step from receipt to payment — fully automated.
Upload contracts
Drop supply agreements, MSAs and GPO contracts as PDFs, or sync them from SharePoint.
Extract rate cards
Pricing schedules, billback programs and rebate tiers become structured contract data alongside clauses and obligations.
Match invoices
Invoices flow through line-level 3-way matching against the PO and goods receipt.
Check against the contract
Every line is compared with the governing contract's rate card. Overcharges, off-contract lines and claimable billbacks appear in the invoice queue.
Recover
Dispute overcharges with line-level evidence, claim billbacks, and chase rebate credits from one exception workflow.
