Hidden Commissions: Use AI to Audit Vendor Portals and Recover Missed Revenue

Many technology advisors leave real money on the table because vendor portals, billing systems, and contract footnotes are noisy, inconsistent, and time-consuming to reconcile. In this practical interview, Bob Bevilacqua and a guest who runs commission-recovery projects walk through a repeatable, low-tech + AI approach you can run in 30 days. You’ll learn which data sources to prioritize (vendor portals, invoices, CRM, contracts), simple NLP and RPA patterns that surface mismatches, a lightweight human-in-the-loop review workflow, and outreach language that turns findings into recovered commissions or credits. This episode teaches a concrete playbook, solves the immediate problem of unseen revenue leakage, and moves listeners to a clear next step they can implement without hiring a data scientist. Expect real templates, measurable KPIs to track, and a pilot plan built for solo operators and small teams.
