Every retailer deduction matched, explained and ready to dispute
The problem
Suppliers lose money to deductions taken out of their Walmart payments, and most can't tell which ones are wrong before the dispute window closes.
The solution
Argus runs the supplier's Walmart account on one screen. It collects every invoice, payment and deduction daily, matches each one to the cent, explains it, and drafts the dispute when it is worth fighting.
How it works
Collect
Invoice, payment and dispute records from Walmart's supplier API and portals, every day
Store
A PostgreSQL warehouse with raw, cleaned and reporting layers
Match
Every short payment matched to its invoice, to the cent
Classify
A rules knowledge base maps each deduction by code and root cause, and says whether it is worth disputing
Draft
LLM agents draft each dispute with its evidence, and a RAG assistant answers why any deduction happened, quoting Walmart's rules and the contract
Decide
Dashboards show what to recover, prevent or accept, sorted by filing deadline, and the team approves every filing
The impact
- Every deduction matched to its invoice and classified every morning, with no manual digging.
- Disputes filed inside the window, drafted with their evidence and approved by a person.
- Repeat causes visible by distribution center, item and carrier, so they get fixed upstream.
- One working list for the team: recover, prevent or accept, sorted by deadline.
