The Rs 3 Crore Hiding in Your P&L: Five Cost Leakages AI Can Find in 30 Days
Where businesses are silently losing money
On average, 5–15% of annual operating cost sits in leakages conventional audits never surface. For a Rs 100 Cr business, that is Rs 5–15 Cr. Hidden. Compounding.
The five leakages we find most often
- Compliance penalties and missed input credits. Manual GSTR filings mean mismatches. Every month, small amounts of input credit are silently forfeited.
- Pricing on blended margins. You price by category. But at SKU level, some products lose money while profitable ones subsidise them.
- Uncollected receivables. No systematic workflow for collections. DSO creeps from 45 to 65 days.
- Vendor discount leakage. Early-payment discounts exist in most vendor contracts. Without automated AP workflows, they are systematically missed.
- Over-production and excess inventory. Without demand-signal integration, you make what sales forecast — not what the market asked for.
How AI surfaces these in 30 days
A structured diagnostic scans your ERP, GSTR portal, banking data, and vendor master. Within weeks it will show you a number most promoters have never seen: the leakage rate as a percentage of revenue.
Almost always uncomfortable. Almost always actionable.
