Speedy vs NetSuite
NetSuite runs your business. It was not built to run your rebates.
NetSuite is a strong ERP. But rebates are not an accounting entry, they are a discipline: multi-party contracts, buying-group programs, catch-weight, and deviated pricing that a general rebate module was never shaped for. Speedy is the rebate system of record that sits alongside NetSuite and writes true net cost back into it.

The best rebate tools have always lived outside the ERP
This is not new. The largest rebate platforms grew into big businesses sitting alongside ERPs like SAP, not inside them. The reason is simple: a general ledger is not a rebate engine, and treating rebates as a checkbox feature is not the same as running them. NetSuite is a great place to keep your books. It is not where your rebate complexity should live.
What foodservice rebates actually require
These are the parts a general rebate module, including the one in your ERP, was not built to model. They are the core of Speedy.
Multi-party and buying-group programs
Two and three-party contracts, and buying-group backend money split across program components. A general rebate module flattens this into a single simple rebate.
Catch-weight and case-to-each
You buy by the case and sell by the each. Rebate math that ignores unit conversion quietly earns or claims the wrong number.
Deviated and off-invoice pricing
Customer off-invoice discounts are funded by expected supplier rebates. The contract has to feed pricing at invoice time, not months later at close.
Redistributor and broker rules
Volume that ships through a redistributor, and lines carved out by a retail broker, decide who earns the program. Invoice-vendor logic gets it wrong.
Pass-through vs earned income
Withholds, corrections, clawbacks, and over-accrual adjustments have to separate cleanly, or they surface late at vendor review and period close.
Short-pay and deduction recovery
Claims, voids, unassigned cash, and disputes need an audit trail and evidence, not an email chain and a write-off.
Where each system does its best work
This is not a rip-and-replace matrix. NetSuite keeps the jobs an ERP should own. The question to test is where your rebate complexity actually lives.

You don't replace NetSuite. You complete it.
Speedy is not another ERP, and it does not compete with your system of record. It is the rebate sub-ledger that owns your contract truth: it models the programs, classifies every transaction, computes the accruals, and writes clean, GL-coded entries and true net cost back into NetSuite. Your ERP keeps executing pricing and invoicing. Speedy does the rebate work it was never built to do.
Your ERP
NetSuite
Ledger, pricing, invoicing, system of record for accounting.
Rebate sub-ledger
Speedy
Contract modeling, classification, accruals, claims, reconciliation.
true net cost written back to your ERP
Decoupled, but integrated, is the normal architecture. Not a compromise.
And it bends to your programs
Because Speedy is built around Glass, our AI agent, your rules and workflows are configured to how your business actually runs, not forced into a fixed ERP schema. New program shapes, buying-group statements, and recurring checks are set up in plain language, and every number traces back to the source.
Frequently asked questions
NetSuite says it includes rebate management. Why would I need Speedy?
A rebate line on a datasheet is not the same as modeling how foodservice rebates actually work. The value is not dashboards, it is the contract modeling, transaction classification, and accrual calculation underneath them. Ask for a demo on a multi-party, buying-group, catch-weight program and watch where a general rebate module stops.
We are standardizing on our ERP. Isn't a separate tool the opposite of that?
You keep one system of record for accounting. Speedy is the system of record for rebate contracts, and it writes clean, GL-coded entries and true net cost back into your ERP. An ERP plus a rebate specialist is the standard architecture, not a compromise. Your ledger stays the ledger.
Can't we just build this in our data warehouse and BI tool?
A warehouse and a BI layer give you dashboards. They do not give you the calculation engine, the claims and reconciliation workflow, or the contract modeling that turns a messy program into a number you can trust. That engine is the hard part, and it is what Speedy is.
Do we have to move off NetSuite or wait for our ERP project to finish?
No. Speedy runs alongside your current systems and integrates with your data warehouse or ERP when you are ready, through a file drop, an API, or a direct warehouse connection. No rip and replace, and no dependency on your migration timeline.
How is this different from a general workflow tool?
A workflow tool routes tasks. Speedy is the operational system of record for rebates: it computes the money, reconciles the claims, and writes the result back to your ERP. It does the work, not just the tickets.
