AI-Powered Duplicate Payment Recovery

You Are Paying Invoices Twice.
We Find Every One.

Industry research shows 0.1-0.5% of all AP disbursements are duplicates. For a company processing $1B in payments, that is $1M-$5M lost annually. ProfitGuard recovers an average of $2.3M per enterprise — with 99.5% accuracy.

Why 65% of Duplicates Go Undetected

Native ERP duplicate checks only catch exact matches. They miss fuzzy matches, cross-entity duplicates, cross-currency duplicates, and temporal duplicates — which together represent 65% of all duplicate payments.

Traditional AP Controls

  • Only exact invoice number matching
  • Single-entity scope (misses cross-subsidiary)
  • Single-currency comparison only
  • No fuzzy or phonetic matching
  • Periodic batch checks (not real-time)
  • Cannot detect split-payment schemes
  • No historical pattern analysis
Catches ~35% of duplicates

Six Duplicate Categories

Every Type of Duplicate. Every Dollar Recovered.

Fuzzy Match Duplicates

28%

Similar but not identical transactions — slightly altered amounts, transposed digits, or different invoice number formats.

Amount $10,500.00 and $10,500.01 (rounding difference)

Local currency and group currency double-posting
FX conversion creating near-miss amount matches
