Rebate management software, built for audit-grade governance.
Rebate management software automates how a company calculates, accrues, tracks, and settles rebates, billbacks, and incentives across its customer and channel agreements. Aurgus goes a step further: it is a governance platform that makes every rebate number deterministic and traceable — from the original agreement all the way to the general ledger — so Finance, Sales, and your ERP finally agree on one number, and every accrual holds up under an ASC 606 audit.
Aurgus is a rebate and incentive governance platform for manufacturers and distributors. It is not affiliated with ARGUS real-estate software, and it is not a consumer rebate-payout service — it governs the accounting, not the disbursement.
Everyone calculates rebates differently.
In most mid-market manufacturers and distributors, rebate accruals live in fragile spreadsheets — and three teams hold three versions of the same number.
- Sales forecasts one number, Finance books another, the ERP shows a third. Each system computes from a different source at a different time, and spreadsheets fill the gaps between them.
- Quarter close becomes a reconciliation fire drill. The gap between the three numbers is found late, explained by hand, and papered over with a plug that nobody can decompose next quarter.
- Under audit, nobody can trace how the balance-sheet number was reached. The chain from agreement clause to accrual to GL entry exists only in an analyst’s memory and a folder of screenshots.
- The result is margin leakage, restatement risk, and audit findings on variable consideration. Not because anyone made an error — because no single layer owned the math. The Off-Invoice Control Index scores your exposure in about three minutes.
Rebate chaos becomes one governed source of truth.
- 1
Agreement intake.
Describe rebate, billback, and incentive agreements in plain language; Aurgus drafts the structured, executable rules for review. Nothing takes effect without a named human approving it, and the approval is part of the record.
- 2
Deterministic calculation.
The same inputs always produce the same number, every time — no spreadsheet drift, no formula that quietly diverged from the contract at renewal.
- 3
Full lineage.
Every accrual traces back to its contract clause, the underlying sales and transaction data, the claims against it, and the settlement documents that drive your GL postings. See the rebate audit trail for how the chain is built.
- 4
AI-assisted approvals.
Recommendations come with confidence scores and source citations, so approvers see why — and the deterministic engine, not the model, owns every number. The model never moves money.
- 5
Audit-ready evidence.
An append-only, machine-readable evidence chain built for ASC 606 variable consideration: original events are never modified; corrections are new events that reference what they correct.
- 6
ERP integration.
Works alongside SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and Microsoft Dynamics without replacing your general ledger — Aurgus computes the math and emits shell settlement documents; your ERP posts journal entries per its own configuration.
Finance and commercial teams who have to prove the number.
Aurgus is built for finance and commercial teams at mid-market manufacturers and distributors ($500M–$5B revenue) that run complex, multi-tiered rebate and incentive programs, are under ASC 606 audit scrutiny — and are managing it today in spreadsheets or on an incumbent platform they no longer trust. If your problem isn’t paying rebates but proving them — to your auditors, your board, and your own Finance team — that is what Aurgus is for. Aurgus is in design-partner stage, which we state plainly.
The programs real manufacturers and distributors actually run.
Aurgus ships program patterns for each of these — deterministic calculation, per-line eligibility, and lineage on every one. Each page explains the mechanism honestly, including where Aurgus deliberately stops today.
Built for ASC 606 variable consideration.
Rebates are variable consideration under FASB’s ASC 606 (IFRS 15 internationally) — they must be estimated, constrained, booked as a reduction of revenue, and reassessed each period. Aurgus computes attainment deterministically, holds the estimation judgment as an explicit human-approved input, and produces the append-only lineage auditors ask for. The same governed-ledger discipline extends toward the cost side of incentive programs (ASC 340-40 contract costs) as the platform’s program coverage grows.

Automation tools and governance layers solve different problems.
Rebate suites such as Enable, Vendavo, Conga, Phocas, and IMA360 focus on automating and analyzing rebate programs, and many do that well. Aurgus overlaps on automation but leads on audit-grade governance and revenue-recognition compliance — the deterministic, traceable ledger layer underneath. Category fit, not superiority: if your bottleneck is workflow, evaluate the suites; if your bottleneck is proving the number, evaluate us.

Rebate management software, honestly answered.
- Is Aurgus the same as ARGUS?No. Aurgus (with a “u”) is rebate and incentive governance software for manufacturers and distributors. ARGUS is unrelated commercial real-estate valuation software. The two companies have no affiliation.
- Is Aurgus a rebate payout tool?No. Aurgus governs the accounting of rebates — calculation, accrual, lineage, and audit evidence. It is not a consumer rebate-disbursement service, and it does not move money: every settlement is proposed with its reconciliation shown and approved by a named human.
- What ERPs does Aurgus work with?Aurgus integrates alongside SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and Microsoft Dynamics without replacing the general ledger. It computes the commercial math and emits shell settlement documents; your ERP posts journal entries per its own configuration. CSV import/export is universal today; specific ERP integrations are delivered within engagement scope.
- How does Aurgus support ASC 606?Rebates are variable consideration: estimated, constrained, booked as a reduction of revenue, and reassessed each period. Aurgus computes attainment deterministically from transaction data, holds the estimation judgment as an explicit human-approved input, and produces an append-only evidence chain — every accrual traceable to its agreement clause and source transactions. See ASC 606 rebate compliance and variable-consideration audit defense.
- Who is Aurgus for?Finance and commercial teams at manufacturers and distributors running complex, multi-tiered rebate and incentive programs under ASC 606 audit scrutiny — managing them today in spreadsheets or on an incumbent platform. Aurgus is in design-partner stage, which we state plainly; to pressure-test fit, talk to one of our experts.
One number. Provable.
Thirty minutes. No pitch. Bring one rebate program and the spreadsheet that runs it, and we’ll tell you honestly whether Aurgus fits — including where it doesn’t yet.
