FREIGHT REVENUE MAXIMIZATION

Bill every dollar your freight earns.

Groundtruth connects the evidence behind every shipment to help freight organizations validate charges, prevent revenue leakage, and bill with confidence.

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.

  • Contracts

    Rate tables and amendments

  • Rate confirmations

    What was agreed per load

  • Bills of lading

    What was tendered

  • Proof of delivery

    What was signed for

  • Email threads

    Approvals given verbally

  • Shipment events

    Dwell, arrival, departure

  • TMS records

    What operations recorded

  • Billing systems

    What the customer received

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.

  1. Load tendered
  2. Charges assembled
  3. GROUNDTRUTHInvoice generated
  4. Invoice sent
  5. FREIGHT AUDIT
  6. Customer disputes

HOW GROUNDTRUTH WORKS

One workflow, from evidence to invoice.

The evidence Groundtruth reads, the terms it applies, and the charges it returns for approval.

EVIDENCE · LOAD 88214

Every record for the load, in one place.

Rate confirmation, gate scans, the signed POD and the driver note are gathered as soon as the load moves.

CAPABILITIES

Four places revenue is won or lost.

Charges that were earned but never billed

Detention, layover, liftgate, reconsignment and after-hours work are earned in the field and documented in places billing never opens. Groundtruth finds them before the invoice closes.

EXAMINES

Shipment events, driver notes, gate and dock timestamps, proof of delivery, accessorial schedules.

IDENTIFIES

Billable activity with supporting evidence that is absent from the draft invoice.

ACTION

Add the charge with its evidence attached, or dismiss it with a recorded reason.

OUTCOME

Earned revenue reaches the invoice instead of the write-off column.

CUSTOMER STORYJ.B. Hunt

What changes when billing runs on ground truth

How billing worked at J.B. Hunt before Groundtruth, and how it works now.

BEFORE GROUNDTRUTH

SIX PLACES · BY HAND

CONTRACTSRATE FILESAPPROVALSFUELEMAILSTMS

  • Everything needed to bill a load correctly sits in different places: contracts, rate files, accessorial approvals, fuel, emails, TMS records

  • Reps reconcile it by hand, load by load

  • Charges that were earned but never authorized in writing get written off. Charges that were authorized but never entered never get billed

  • The error surfaces after the invoice reaches the customer, as a dispute

  • The shipper audits every invoice because experience says they should

WITH GROUNDTRUTH

ONE RECORD · AT TENDER

CONTRACTSRATE FILESAPPROVALSFUELEMAILSTMS
ONE BILLING RECORD VALIDATED

  • Commercial context and operational data are reconciled into one billing record as soon as the load is tendered

  • Rating issues, missing authorizations, and unbilled accessorials are flagged before the invoice goes out

  • Every charge carries an audit trail back to the evidence it came from

  • No new system and no new logins. It runs inside the data the billing and CS teams already use

  • Built and deployed at enterprise scale in under two years

THE RESULT

The invoice is right before it leaves the building.

BUSINESS OUTCOMES

What finance and operations get.

Revenue capture, defensibility, and a shared record between the teams that move the freight and the teams that bill for it.

  • 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.
