In the freight transport sector, invoice auditing is more than just a basic requirement, it’s a critical safeguard in an industry where even the smallest error can lead to significant financial loss. And yet, as many know all too well, this task is often fraught with complexity and frustration for the teams responsible for it. Companies still struggle to implement processes that are both reliable and seamless. This is precisely where Invoice Control, a feature developed by our team, comes into play, offering an efficient solution designed for the day-to-day needs of logistics professionals.
When automation means simplification
Traditionally, invoice auditing involves gathering and analyzing data that is often handled manually, or through outdated, ill-suited tools. It’s a complex and time-consuming process. Transport professionals frequently find themselves buried under piles of documents in varying formats, with a high risk of error.
With Invoice Control, the hours spent validating freight invoices are transformed into a streamlined, fully automated process. The solution standardizes and centralizes the data, ensures accurate invoice verification, and provides an immediate, comprehensive view upon logging into the platform. This reduces the time spent on invoice auditing by a factor of seven. As a result, operations teams can refocus on higher-value tasks, significantly boosting the overall performance of the transport function.
Identify discrepancies and cost deviations with ease
Without the right tools, understanding the root causes of invoice discrepancies is a real challenge. Invoice Control changes that by automatically qualifying each deviation it detects. Anomalies are categorized into clear, defined types, and users can easily explore the data to quickly identify the source of budget deviations and understand where discrepancies come from. Access to intelligible, dynamic data makes the invoicing process not only more efficient but also more defensible, especially when it comes to recovering unjustified costs.
Simplifying the recovery of discrepancies
Professionals know that recovering billing discrepancies is often a bumpy road. Thanks to its integrated collaborative workspace, Invoice Control streamlines the process. No more endless phone calls or email chains, everything is managed and justified centrally and efficiently through the platform. This helps reduce both delays and the relationship risks typically associated with invoice recovery.
Invoice Control’s mission is clear: to transform the daily lives of transport professionals by lightening the burden of invoice auditing and maximizing its effectiveness. The result? Annual savings of 2% to 5% on total freight spend.
