Margin Recovery Labs

Did your suppliers raise costs faster than you raised prices? Margin Recovery Labs is a focused forensic audit for owners of small specialty industrial and MRO distributors. We compare your purchase and sales history to show where supplier cost increases were not fully recovered from customers, and estimate the gross profit that leaked as a result.

What the audit looks at

• Supplier cost under-recovery: cost increases not passed through.
• Pricing lag: how long customer prices trail supplier cost changes.
• Margin compression: where gross margin percentage eroded.
• Estimated gross profit leakage, ranked into prioritized findings.

Who it is for

Owners and senior managers of specialty distributors in industrial/MRO, electrical, fluid power, safety/PPE, fasteners and similar categories.

Timing and price

Target turnaround is 10 business days after complete agreed data, subject to scope. The founding audit is $1,500, subject to scope confirmation. Recoveries are never guaranteed.
