What is Claims Validation?
Claims validation is the process of checking that a claim for payment is accurate, supported and due before it’s paid. In consumer goods, that might be a retailer or distributor claiming for a promotion, a listing fee or a display. Traditionally, teams check claims by hand, matching invoices to agreements and chasing proof of execution, which is slow, inconsistent and means most claims are only ever sampled.
Aforza automates that work. AI reads each claim and its supporting documents, matches it to the promotion or agreement it relates to, checks the evidence from the field and applies your validation rules. The diagram below shows how a claim moves from submission to a clear decision: approve, part-approve or review, with the reason for every outcome recorded.
Diagram: Every claim checked, every decision explained
Built to validate every type of claim, at scale
Most claims processes rely on people checking a fraction of claims by hand, which means leakage slips through and valid claims wait too long. Aforza is designed the other way round. Every claim is checked automatically against the same rules, and people focus only on the exceptions that need their judgement.
Automatic Matching
Each claim is matched to the agreement, promotion or fund it relates to, without manual searching.
Evidence-Backed Decisions
Field photos, audits and proof of performance are checked as part of every validation.
Consistent Rules
The same validation rules and tolerances are applied to every claim, every time.
Explainable Outcomes
Every approval, part-approval or exception comes with a clear reason teams can share with the customer.
Inside Aforza Claims Validation
Every claim is a question: did the customer do what was agreed, and is the amount right? Answering it by hand means digging through agreements, invoices and photos, one claim at a time. Aforza Claims Validation answers it automatically and shows its working.
See how claims arrive in one queue with an AI status, how each claim is checked against agreement, evidence and rules side by side, how exceptions are flagged with a clear reason, and how finance and commercial teams track the results.
Claims queue with AI validation status
All incoming claims land in one queue, each with an AI validation status, value, customer and age.
Teams can see at a glance which claims are ready to approve, which have been part-approved and which need review, so the work is prioritised before anyone opens a claim.
Claim, agreement and evidence side by side
Opening a claim shows the claimed amount, the matched agreement or promotion, and the supporting evidence together on one screen.
The AI’s verdict sits alongside, with each check marked as passed or failed, so reviewers can confirm a decision in seconds instead of searching across systems.
Exceptions flagged with clear reasons
Claims that don’t pass are flagged with the specific reason, such as an amount above the agreed rate, dates outside the promotion period or missing proof of execution.
Reviewers can approve, part-approve or reject with the reason recorded, and respond to the customer with the evidence that supports the decision.
Claims performance dashboard
Finance and commercial teams see claims validated, values approved and adjusted, time to settle and exceptions by type, customer and region.
Trends show which customers or promotions generate the most exceptions, helping teams fix the root cause and agree clearer terms next time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is claims validation at scale?
Claims validation is the process of checking that a claim for payment is accurate, supported by evidence and due under the agreed terms before it’s paid. It applies wherever one party claims from another, from retailer promotion claims and insurance claims to warranty, rebate and partner incentive claims.
How does AI validate a claim?
Aforza reads the claim and its supporting documents, matches it to the relevant agreement or promotion, checks the field evidence and applies your validation rules. Each claim gets an outcome of approve, part-approve or review, with the reason recorded.
Can we set our own validation rules?
Yes. Business teams configure rules for amounts, dates, eligibility, evidence requirements and tolerances, so validation reflects your own policies and customer agreements.
Does claims validation replace the claims team?
No. It handles the routine checking so the team can focus on the exceptions, customer conversations and decisions that need judgement. People stay in control of every final decision.
What happens when a claim is disputed?
Rejected or part-approved claims can move straight into Aforza Dispute Management, with the claim, agreement and evidence already gathered, so disputes are resolved on facts.
