Margin Recovery
You're owed rebates you never collected.We find them and get them back.
Maizo is a margin recovery firm for building materials distributors, wholesalers, and retailers. We audit what you purchased against what your supplier agreements entitle you to, then file and manage the claims. There is no software to install, and you only pay a percentage of what we actually recover.
Contingency-based engagement. No recovery, no fee. Roughly 1–2 hours of your team's time per month.
| Agreement | Claimed | Owed |
|---|---|---|
| Supplier AVolume tier 3 — 2.5% | $41,200 | $63,800+$22,600 |
| Supplier BAnnual growth rebate | $0 | $18,400+$18,400 |
| Supplier CQuarterly SKU program | $9,750 | $14,100+$4,350 |

The Problem
Rebate income is earned in one system and claimed in another.
Terms buried across hundreds of agreements
Rebate language lives in supplier contracts, amendments, and email threads — then gets summarized into a spreadsheet that nobody has time to reconcile line by line.
Volume tiers that are hard to track by hand
Tiered and growth-based thresholds shift with purchase timing, mix, and returns. When tracking is manual, you claim the tier you remember instead of the tier you earned.
Claim windows that close quietly
Most supplier programs have filing deadlines. A missed window is not disputed or denied — it simply expires, and the margin leaves the business without anyone noticing.
How It Works
An audit engagement, not a software rollout.
The work sits with us. Across a full engagement, most clients spend one to two hours a month with the Maizo team — comparable to a routine audit, with no implementation and no training.
- Your team: ~1 hour, once
Share your purchase and agreement data
A standard export from SAP or NetSuite, or a direct read-only connection, plus your current supplier rebate agreements. Setup typically takes one call and one data handoff.
- Your team: nothing
We audit every agreement against actual volume
Our technology reconciles each rebate program — tiers, growth targets, SKU and category conditions — against what you actually bought. Our analysts then review every finding before it becomes a claim.
- Your team: approvals only
We file and manage the claims with your suppliers
Maizo prepares the documentation, submits claims to the vendor, and handles the back-and-forth through to resolution. You stay informed and stay in control of every supplier relationship.
- Your team: ~1 hour per month
You collect the recovered margin
Recovered dollars land with you as credits or payments. Maizo invoices a percentage of what was actually recovered — nothing else, and nothing if we find nothing.
Who We Help
Built for building materials distributors and retailers.
We work with companies on the buy side of building materials — the businesses purchasing from manufacturers and suppliers, then reselling or distributing. Whether you run a wholesale operation or a retail-facing supply yard, the rebate problem is the same.
Margins too thin to leave anything behind
Building materials distribution typically nets a low single-digit profit margin. At that level, uncollected rebate income is not a rounding error — it is a meaningful share of the profit on volume you already moved.
High vendor and SKU counts
Hundreds of suppliers and tens of thousands of SKUs mean the rebate picture changes with every purchase order. No AP or purchasing team can reconcile that by hand every period.
Overlapping volume-tier agreements
Tiered pricing, growth rebates, seasonal programs, and buying-group terms often stack on the same purchases — and interact in ways a spreadsheet was never built to model.
Why Maizo
A recovery firm, held to the outcome.
Contingency-based
No recovery, no fee
The engagement is self-funded. Our fee is a percentage of dollars actually recovered, so there is no license, no retainer, and no downside if there is nothing to find.
Industry-specific
Built for building materials
We know how volume tiers, buying-group terms, and seasonal programs work in this industry. That specificity is why we surface claims a generic recovery review would pass over.
Minimal internal lift
Nothing for your team to roll out
No implementation project, no software to buy, no training. Your team provides data and approvals; the audit work, claim filing, and supplier follow-up sit with us.
Systems you already run
Works with SAP and NetSuite
We connect to the ERP you already use to pull purchase history and agreement data — an export or a read-only connection, not a migration.
Integrates With
We connect directly to the ERP systems you already use — no new software for your team to learn.
“We assumed our rebate tracking was in decent shape. The audit found six figures we had earned and never claimed — and it cost us almost nothing to find out.”
