The rebate management platform that meets you where you are.
Modern rebate management without the six-month implementation. Same calculation engine, three entry tiers — try it via Zapier against any ERP, install from a marketplace, or commission native enterprise integration. ASC 606-aware, domain-expert AI built in, audit-defensible by design.
$5M–$1B revenue. Spreadsheets, a homegrown tool, or too-small SaaS.
The accrual numbers close the books — but you can't fully defend them at audit. The compromise has been: tolerate the audit risk, or commit to a six-month enterprise implementation that's the wrong shape for your size. Aurgus is built for the between-space.
$1B+ revenue. Running Vistex, Model N, SAP IRM, or IBM CDM today.
The calculation works — but the lineage is reconstructable rather than native; auditor inquiries about a specific accrual take days to answer. Aurgus runs in parallel against the incumbent, builds the lineage natively, and lets you compare both surfaces side-by-side before any migration commitment.
Start with the notebook.
Analytical research on how channel rebate programs actually break — ASC 606 estimation under the constraint, post-mortems on the audit-defensibility question, SEC 8-K trigger reads at companies running these programs. No pitch, no sales sequence. The same restraint as the discovery call.
Audit-defensible by design, not by process.
Aurgus doesn't model your general ledger. We model the math under your rebate program — every event, every adjustment, every supersession — and push shell settlement documents that any ERP can post per its own configuration.
-
Event-sourced calculation log
Every accrual, adjustment, reversal, and settlement is an immutable event. Corrections happen via supersession, not mutation. Quarter-end reproducibility is a property of the design, not a process.
-
Stop at the calculation boundary
Aurgus calculates; your ERP posts. No double-modeling of journal entries, no duplicate GL state, no integration gymnastics to keep two systems in sync. The boundary is the architecture.
-
Bitemporal by construction
Every record carries both "as of" (business time) and "observed at" (system time). The dispute auditor's question of "what did the system know when?" has a precise answer.
Where Aurgus isn't the right fit.
We're pre-release and the design-partner cohort is small. We'd rather flag a mismatch upfront than take a conversation that won't land. A few situations where we'll tell you so directly:
-
You don't have a material channel rebate, MDF, SPIF, GPO-contract, or growth-incentive program. The architecture is built around variable-consideration accrual; without a program of meaningful scale, it's the wrong tool.
-
You're in a domain whose regulatory or operational shape differs materially — retail trade-spend, consumer-goods promotional planning, pharmaceutical rebate management, food & beverage. Specialized vendors serve those better.
-
Your current rebate calculation is already audit-defensible by construction — event-sourced, bitemporal, traceable to source transactions in hours, not days. If you've already solved the problem, you don't need us.
-
You need a polished SaaS vendor with reference logos, a sales engineering bench, and a customer-success organization. We're a small team in the design-partner phase. You'd be choosing Aurgus on architectural belief, not on social proof we don't yet have.
-
You want self-serve sign-up without a conversation. The design-partner motion is conversation-led; public self-serve tiers are on the roadmap, not today.
A channel rebate program looks, on its org chart, like a program. But every quarter — at the moment the accountant sits down to close the books — it is, operationally, an estimation engine.
Mono Bagchi, founder. Twenty years across SAP, Vistex, and rebate operations. Every design-partner inquiry gets a personal reply, not a sales sequence.
Talk with the founder.
Twenty minutes. No pitch deck. Founder-led conversation about your specific rebate program — and whether the design-partner cohort is the right fit.
- The shape of your program — accrual cadence, audit pressure, where calculation lineage breaks today.
- Whether what we've built actually fits — walkthrough on a representative deal in your shape.
- What design-partner engagement looks like if it is a fit — terms, time commitment, who's involved.
No marketing automation, no nurture sequence. Mono reviews every signup and replies personally. We email you when there's something specific that matters for your situation. That's it.
