Pay the price you expect to pay.
Our Mission
The Monitoring Department audits distributor data to determine if operators are paying the proper price based on supplier pricing negotiated by UFPC® and operator-negotiated distributor contracts. The store-delivered prices are audited against expected prices. The expected price is based on UFPC negotiated prices, distributor inventory rules and an operator contract markup.
Our Process
The Monitoring Department manually researches every positive variance and makes an initial determination if the variance indicates an overcharge. Variances are compiled and submitted to distributors for review. A distributor either accepts or denies identified overcharges. UFPC and distributors work toward reconciling distributor-denied overcharges. A distributor either issues credits or submits cash payments back to operators for agreed-to variances.
UFPC provides operators with a report on credits and/or cash payments on a biannual basis.
