Receivables reconciliation for complex B2B supply chains.
InvoiceGap is designed for B2B suppliers where receivables can be affected by what was ordered, shipped, delivered, accepted, returned, credited and ultimately paid.
Quantity differences
Claims & credits
Pricing adjustments
Short & partial payments
Where receivables complexity begins
Receivables are affected by what was ordered, delivered, accepted, adjusted and paid.
In many service businesses, an invoice can move relatively directly from billing to payment. Physical trade is often different.
Goods can be shipped in several batches. Quantities can change between order and delivery. Products can arrive damaged, be rejected, returned or accepted only in part. Buyers can raise claims or issue deductions after the original invoice already exists.
Finance may see the resulting receivable without having the operational evidence required to explain the variance immediately.
InvoiceGap is aimed at that space between what the business expected to earn and what eventually arrived in the account.
Different industries. Recurring receivables exceptions.
The documents vary. The financial control questions remain consistent.
Industrial distribution
High transaction volumes. Multiple references. Recurring receivables exceptions.
Electrical, HVAC, automotive parts, machinery, technical equipment and component distributors often operate across large numbers of orders, deliveries, invoices and customer accounts.
Where complexity appears
One customer order may be fulfilled across several shipments. Products can be backordered or delivered partially. Contract pricing, customer-specific terms and subsequent credits can change the final amount.
By the time payment arrives, the finance team may need to reconstruct several operational events simply to understand whether a short payment is justified.
Records that may matter
Purchase orders, sales orders, shipment records, delivery notes, invoices, credit and debit notes, customer claims, remittance information and payments.
Typical questions
Was the full quantity delivered? Was the correct price applied? Is the deduction supported? Has the buyer already recognized the remaining amount?
Building materials
Delivery differences can create post-invoice adjustments and unresolved balances.
Construction products, packaging, furniture, home materials and related distribution can involve partial deliveries, damaged products, replacements and customer claims.
Where complexity appears
A shipment may be commercially complete on paper but physically incomplete at the customer site. Part of a delivery may be rejected, damaged or replaced later.
That operational event can eventually become a credit, deduction or payment difference — sometimes long after the original invoice was created.
What finance needs to establish
The useful question is not only “was the invoice paid?” It is whether the adjustment is supported by the actual delivery history and applicable commercial terms.
InvoiceGap focus
Connect delivery and quantity discrepancies to the resulting receivables variance and keep the supporting evidence available for financial review.
Food, fresh produce & horticulture
Quantity, quality and timing can create deductions, claims and settlement variances.
Fresh produce, food distribution, floriculture and horticulture operate in environments where the physical condition and accepted quantity of goods can matter as much as the original invoice.
Where complexity appears
Delivered quantity may differ from shipped quantity. Goods may be rejected because of quality, damage or condition. Returns and post-delivery credits can happen quickly and across high transaction volumes.
The result is a constant stream of small commercial adjustments that finance must understand and reconcile.
Why the evidence matters
A £2,000 deduction could represent a legitimate rejected quantity, a previously issued credit or simply an unexplained short payment.
Those situations can look identical in a bank balance while requiring completely different actions.
Import & export
More records, references and settlement points between shipment and payment.
Cross-border trade can add additional references, shipping documents, currencies, counterparties and settlement steps to an already complex B2B transaction.
Where complexity appears
The commercial order, physical shipment and financial settlement may live in different files or systems. One reference may appear differently across documents, and a single payment may cover several transactions.
Claims or commercial adjustments may also arrive from the buyer after the goods have already crossed borders.
What InvoiceGap is trying to simplify
Bring the relevant records into one reviewable transaction context without requiring the customer to replace the systems already used to run the business.
The objective stays the same: explain the difference, show the evidence and identify the next action.
Not every company needs another reconciliation platform
The transaction complexity should justify the additional financial control.
If invoices are few, payments are normally one-to-one, post-invoice adjustments are rare and the existing accounting system already explains every difference clearly, the problem may not be large enough to justify an additional workspace.
InvoiceGap is intended for the opposite situation: recurring operational and financial complexity that consumes finance time and makes the reason behind balances difficult to reconstruct.
