TRUSTED BY ENTERPRISE FREIGHT
THE REVENUE PROBLEM
Your revenue is buried across the shipment lifecycle.
One shipment leaves records in eight systems. The invoice is built from none of them, so earned charges get written off.

BEFORE THE INVOICE, NOT AFTER
Groundtruth works before the invoice is sent.
Freight audit checks invoices after they reach the customer, when an error has already become a dispute. Groundtruth checks every charge while the invoice is still yours to fix.

THE RESULT
The invoice is right before it leaves the building.
DEVELOPED WITH
-
Capture earned revenue
Billable activity that used to be written off reaches the invoice with its evidence attached.
-
Reduce billing errors
Rate variances, duplicates and unit errors are caught before the invoice leaves the building.
-
Shorten delivery to invoice
Exceptions arrive assembled, so billing stops waiting on email to reconstruct the shipment.
-
Create defensible charges
Each charge carries the clause that authorizes it and the document that proves it.
-
Reduce manual reconciliation
Analysts review decisions instead of assembling evidence across eight systems.
-
One shared record
Finance and operations see the same shipment-level detail behind every figure.
ROI
Live in a week. Paid back in a month.

- Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access runs through single sign-on and role-based permissions, and every action is logged.
- ENCRYPTED · SSO · LOGGED
