02 / Value Protection

What you negotiate must actually reach the transaction.

Negotiated prices, discounts and terms lose their value when they are not correctly applied to orders or invoices. Digital employees reconcile agreements and transactions, identify relevant discrepancies and handle commercial cases under your rules.

The economic problem

Agreed advantages get lost between contract and invoice.

Framework contracts, price lists and discount rules are distributed across suppliers, sites and legal entities. Your team finds the valid agreement, checks order and invoice lines and follows up on inquiries. At high transaction volumes, this control takes time; unnoticed discrepancies can lead to unjustified overpayments.

For procurement leaders, procurement operations, accounts payable and finance operations teams handling recurring orders and distributed contract and invoice data.

Three documents. One difference to resolve.

Comparison of 240 units of the same item. The net unit prices are comparable. Whether a separate price change was agreed still requires business review.

The work Digamma takes on

Take on the data work. Follow through on action.

  1. 01

    Capture agreements

    Structure contracts, price lists and discount agreements with validity periods and exceptions. Present ambiguous clauses for a business decision with the right context.

  2. 02

    Monitor transactions continuously

    During the agreed service, reconcile orders and invoices against applicable terms. Match items, quantities, prices and discounts and identify relevant discrepancies.

  3. 03

    Handle discrepancies

    Document cases with their calculation, prepare corrections and follow up on inquiries. Carry out approved steps and maintain the agreed processing status.

What your team receives

Terms applied. Discrepancies handled with a clear record.

Procurement and finance receive the comparison of agreement, order and invoice with supporting records and processing status. Digamma documents cases, prepares corrections and follows up on inquiries. This protects existing purchasing agreements; an avoided overpayment is counted only with supporting evidence.

The economic value

Value Protection safeguards what you have already negotiated. Its economic value comes from correctly applied terms and handled exceptions, while relieving your team of recurring control work.

  • Less manual checking of orders and invoices
  • Fewer unnoticed price and discount discrepancies
  • Stronger enforcement of existing purchasing agreements
  • Evidenced corrections and potentially fewer unjustified overpayments

Data and business approvals

Human approval

Decisions stay with the responsible people.

  • How to interpret ambiguous contract clauses and special agreements
  • Whether a difference is justified and how to approach the supplier
  • Whether payments, orders or accounting entries are changed or approved

Commercial decisions, contract interpretation, payments and accounting entries follow your responsibilities and permissions.

Data and system access

Work with your authoritative sources.

Contracts and terms
Approved versions, price lists, discount rules, validity periods and documented exceptions.
Transactions
Purchase order and invoice lines, including supplier, item and contract references.
Review process and permissions
Responsible business roles, approval rules and agreed access. No payment hold or accounting change without appropriate authorisation.

Approved exports may be enough to start. Integrations and write access are agreed for each process.
