Amazon 1P Deduction Triage & Monthly Deduction Desk
Margin-leakage operations for 1P vendors not ready for enterprise recovery platforms. Amazon deducts first and explains later — shortage claims, chargebacks, price claims, co-op. Mid-sized vendors rarely have anyone who owns this. Claims age out, evidence is scattered across BOLs, ASNs, invoices, and POs, and recoverable money quietly becomes a write-off.
Deliverables
What you get
Every engagement returns the same decision-ready structure.
- Claims classified by type, with recovery candidates prioritized by amount, deadline, and evidence strength
- Missing-evidence flags — exactly what to pull: BOL carton counts, ASN details, EAN/UPC, invoices
- Deadline-risk list — what ages out next and when
- Recurring patterns by PO / ASIN / carrier / FC — what keeps causing the leakage
- Dispute-ready drafts your team reviews and submits — you stay in control of Vendor Central
Process
How it works
Export
You pull the relevant Vendor Central reports. No login sharing, no software to install, anonymized data is fine.
Triage
I classify, reconcile, and prioritize — finance-grade matching of POs, invoices, ASNs, and shipment records. AI-assisted where it speeds things up, human judgment on every dispute decision.
Submit
Your team reviews the dispute-ready package and submits inside your own Vendor Central account.

Send sample claimsDeduction Triage Sprint
Past 90 days of deductions: full triage, dispute-ready drafts, recommended next actions. 5–10 business days.
$500–$1,000 introductory
Monthly Deduction Desk
Ongoing: new-claim review, deadline watch, evidence chasing list, dispute drafts, status tracking, monthly summary.
From $750/month
For reference: a full-time deductions analyst runs $70k+ a year; contingency recovery firms keep 25–30% of everything recovered. The desk is a flat, predictable fraction of either.
Who's behind it

Former Finance Manager and Senior Business Intelligence Engineer during six years at Amazon (Books, Robotics, and Returns), now a data engineer. I've spent my career connecting POs, invoices, shipments, and returns, and finding where the money leaks. LinkedIn · More about the operator →
Boundaries, so expectations are clear
- No recovery guarantees — I prioritize by evidence strength precisely because not everything is winnable
- I never take Vendor Central credentials; your team submits all disputes
- Client data is handled minimally, and under NDA on request
- Independent service — not affiliated with or endorsed by Amazon
