Transportation costs are rising fast, and with General Rate Increases (GRIs), new surcharges, and complex multimodal networks, finance teams are under pressure to prove every dollar. For one global manufacturer, fragmented systems and slow dispute resolution left money leaking out of their supply chain.
The Challenge:
- Year-over-year spend creep, fueled by accessorials.
- Multiple ERPs and transportation provider portals created blind spots.
- Disputes dragged on, tying up working capital.
Our Approach:
nVision’s Freight Audit & Payment (FAP) solution was deployed with:
- Pre-audit automation: line-by-line validation across all modes.
- Smart workflows: exceptions routed to root cause owners, with transportation provider scorecards for accountability.
- Data engineering: unified currencies, calendars, and transportation provider taxonomies, feeding a single source of truth.
The Results:
- >$1.1M recovered through corrections and claims.
- 4.9% of line items flagged for savings/avoidance.
- Straight-through processing for 97% of invoices.
- Month-end close 7 days faster.
- Dispute cycle time cut by 38%.
Why It Matters:
Market benchmarks suggest shippers can expect ~5% savings through audit and analytics. This client matched and exceeded that, while gaining finance-grade data they could trust.
Development Spotlight:
Custom ERP connectors, rules-as-config UI, auto-GL mapping, and SOC-ready audit trails.
