Your Invoices Aren't Checked. Here's the Fix That Pays for Itself in 6 Months  A 45-minute session for freight CFOs and AP leads. Based on Accenture's 2026 freight forwarding research.  **Thursday, October 22 · 9:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET Live Insider Event, 45 minutes**    ## What we'll cover - **Where one $75 charge goes.** A trucking invoice comes in $75 over the accrual. AP flags it. It sits in an operator’s inbox for three weeks. On day 30 AP pays it. On day 35 the job closes and the customer never gets billed. - **What it adds up to.** Say 1 in 10 shipments carries one unbilled $75 charge. A forwarder moving 20,000 shipments a year loses $150,000. At 2 million shipments, it’s $15 million. - **The fix, demoed.** Clean invoices match and post on their own. Exceptions go to the right operator with a suggested accrual. Reminders follow until someone handles it. - **What 54 customers saw.** Average gross margin per shipment went from 18.5% to 23% after going live. Plus the four habits behind the result.
