--- title: How to Stop Revenue Leakage Before It Compounds | 30 Min Deep Dive, Aug 26, 2026 description: "Manufacturing and Distribution leaders: see how AI stops inventory-driven revenue leakage before it compounds. Free 1-hour workshop with Eva James, Aug 26." --- Crestwood Associates Open main navigation Close main navigation FREE LIVE SESSION | WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26 | 12:00 TO 12:30 PM CT # You'd catch a missing $50,000 invoice. Would you catch fifty missing $1,000 ones? The large ones never get missed. The small ones don't surface until the quarter closes, and by then they're a write-off instead of a correction. In 30 minutes we'll show you where they hide, using live data and a framework we give to clients for free.  *SCROLL FOR MORE DETAILS * ### Show Me the Gap - Aug 26th ### WHO THIS IS FOR ## If two of these are true, this session was built for you. You run freight, warehousing, distribution, or another asset-intensive operation where things move faster than the system records them. - Physical counts and system counts don't always agree, and no one is fully sure what the difference costs. - Detention, dwell time, and unbilled assets come up in conversation more often than they show up on an invoice. - Your team catches problems at cycle count or month-end, which is after the money is gone. - When margin comes in soft, the explanation takes three people and a spreadsheet.   **Roles:** COO, VP of Operations, Director of Logistics, CFO, Controller ### THE COST OF WAITING ## The money was earned. The invoice never happened. The work happened. The asset moved. The space was used. What's missing is the record that turns it into an invoice. It never shows up as one large number. It shows up as a dozen small ones your team explains away individually, until finance asks why margin is off and no one has a clean answer. Every month that gap stays invisible is a month you bill less than you earned, and you find out too late to do anything about it.   ### WHAT YOU'LL SEE ## In 30 minutes you'll watch AI catch three gaps live. -  **1. An asset in use that was never billed.** The work is done. The record isn't there. You'll see the system flag it before the billing window closes.     -  **2. A count discrepancy your team hasn't caught yet.** Not at cycle count. Not at month-end. Now, while it's still a correction instead of a write-off.    -  **3. Stock sitting still that's tying up cash.** What it is, how long it's been there, and what it's costing you to hold it.     Then you'll see each catch turn into a system update and a captured dollar, not a report nobody opens.  ## WHAT MANUFACTURERS ARE SAYING > ##  "If the warehouse has low inventory for an item, it is immediately exposed to purchasing to place the order for more. We now have real-time visibility to pertinent data." ...

Her experience with distribution, manufacturing, logistics-adjacent, and asset-intensive business processes gives her a practical view into how data accuracy problems become margin, billing, and decision-making problems. This session is anchored in real buyer pain: you know inventory accuracy matters but may not have fully connected inaccurate physical inventory data to unbilled assets, dwell exposure, detention costs, exception management, and revenue leakage. The session will translate that operational problem into a business conversation that resonates with both operations and finance leaders. ![bob scotts awards](https://info.crestwood.com/hs-fs/hubfs/bob%20scotts%20awards.png?width=166&height=116&name=bob%20scotts%20awards.png) ![Accounting Today Top 100 Vars 2025](https://info.crestwood.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Accounting%20Today%20Top%20100%20Vars%202025.jpg?width=939&height=675&name=Accounting%20Today%20Top%20100%20Vars%202025.jpg) ![presidentsClub-2025-for-light-backgrounds](https://info.crestwood.com/hs-fs/hubfs/presidentsClub-2025-for-light-backgrounds.png?width=1600&height=1533&name=presidentsClub-2025-for-light-backgrounds.png) ![acumatica-awards-pieces_Gold-Certified-Badge-1](https://info.crestwood.com/hs-fs/hubfs/acumatica-awards-pieces_Gold-Certified-Badge-1.webp?width=140&height=216&name=acumatica-awards-pieces_Gold-Certified-Badge-1.webp) ![MS Business Applications](https://info.crestwood.com/hs-fs/hubfs/MS%20Business%20Applications.png?width=1043&height=548&name=MS%20Business%20Applications.png) ![MS Modern Work](https://info.crestwood.com/hs-fs/hubfs/MS%20Modern%20Work.png?width=1043&height=548&name=MS%20Modern%20Work.png) ![Acumatica_MVP_Badge](https://info.crestwood.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Acumatica_MVP_Badge.png?width=400&height=400&name=Acumatica_MVP_Badge.png) ![Soc-2-Icon-2](https://info.crestwood.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Soc-2-Icon-2.png?width=150&height=150&name=Soc-2-Icon-2.png) Why Crestwood is leading this conversation   Crestwood works with mid-market organizations navigating growth, complexity, and modernization across finance and operations.
