Silent profit erosion threatens business profitability, often going undetected until significant damage accumulates. Margin-Leak Detector functions as a 24/7 profit sentinel, continuously monitoring ERP and CRM transaction streams to flag negative margins, rogue discounts, and policy violations before they impact bottom lines. This always-on guardian scans every transaction in real-time, comparing actual margins against established policies and immediately alerting stakeholders when thresholds are breached. Industry reports consistently highlight automation and disciplined discount controls as top levers stopping revenue leakage, often recovering 1-3% of topline profit.

Immediate intervention power: During promotional campaigns, Detector flags regional SKUs whose combined promotion stacks drag net margins to 4%. Alerts instantly ping pricing managers, who reduce overlapping discounts and restore policy compliance within hours. Weekly executive reports quantify saves at $180,000.

Real-time monitoring prevents small problems becoming large losses. Traditional margin analysis happens monthly or quarterly—by then, damaged deals have closed and profits have leaked. Margin-Leak Detector catches issues at transaction levels when corrections remain possible. 

Policy enforcement becomes automated rather than manual. The platform knows margin policies, discount authorities, and approval requirements. It can automatically block policy-violating transactions or route them for appropriate approval before processing.
