THE PROBLEM
Freight bills are easy to pay and hard to check.
≠
Errors get paid.
Wrong rates, fuel surcharges and extra charges slip through when invoices are approved by hand or by sample.
⇄
Disputes stall.
Evidence is spread across emails, bills of lading and carrier portals, so recoveries take weeks or never happen.
∑
Close waits on freight.
Accruals, GL coding and batching for payment still depend on spreadsheets.
◎
Spend stays hidden.
Leaders can’t see freight cost by carrier, lane or charge type until it’s too late to act.
