Halden Freight
Purchase order matching for a freight operator
Rate discrepancies were found weeks late, after the invoice was paid. The agent reconciles at receipt and flags the gap the same day, which changed what the finance team argued about.

Halden Freight found rate discrepancies weeks after the fact, usually once the invoice had already been paid and the leverage had gone.
Moving the check earlier changed the argument
The agent reconciles the purchase order against the carrier rate card at the point of receipt and flags any gap the same day. Nothing about the underlying dispute process changed. What changed is that finance now argues from a position where the money has not left yet.
Ninety-one percent accuracy, fifty-eight exceptions a month, and the fastest payback of the four at 2.2 months. Volume is what makes this one work: the same accuracy on a tenth of the invoices would not have justified the build.
