Billing automation
Global · 3rd Party Logistics (3PL)
The challenge
What the business needed
A global logistics company faced inefficiencies due to a manual billing process, resulting in longer payment cycles. The lack of a standardized format for trip sheet documentation led to significant data entry work, causing delays at Cross Docks and Hubs for document processing. Additionally, reliance on a large number of FTEs for data entry and validation further impacted operational efficiency.
Solution
How the work was delivered
We standardized the ‘Trip Sheet’ format and digitized its generation, incorporating unique barcodes for simplified identification and tracking. Amazon’s Textract and A2I services were utilized to automate the extraction of key trip-related data from manual entries, streamlining the billing process. Additionally, we implemented an automated data reconciliation mechanism to detect orphaned trip sheets (without TMS references), enabling easy deletion and preventing redundant data overprocessing.
