FREIGHT BILL AUDIT & PAYMENT
Impact TMS , nVision’s global freight management solution, helps shippers plan and manage all global shipments on one platform. Working with Impact TMS , shippers can integrate all customers, suppliers, and transportation providers. A Centralized Control Center A large package company is leveraging Impact TMS to meet several challenges, including short delivery timelines and capacity constraints of raw materials and suppliers. To address these challenges, Impact TMS provides real-time data integration of orders, tendered rates, and tracking status, as well as a centralized logistics control center that manages online freight auctions. nVision also worked with the company to analyze and recon gure its distribution network so it aligned with internal goals and customer requirements. With these and other changes, the company saved more than $2 million in the rst year of the partnership, largely by avoiding expedited freight costs. Another nVision solution, nSure AI , enhances nVision’s OCR data extraction process by leveraging arti cial intelligence, machine learning, and large language models. As a result, the accuracy rate of the OCR engine currently tops 99% and continues to increase, Brown says.
C2Q —Contract to Quote—is a dynamic market pricing solution that nVision recently launched. It combines real-time market intelligence, advanced analytics, and automation to transform freight pricing, bidding, and tendering into an ef cient, competitive, and strategic process, all within a single platform. C2Q allows for real-time rating based on real-time market conditions, including for spot pricing or on-demand quotes. Shippers have the exibility to do bids and auctions to multiple providers at the same time. “ C2Q supports current market conditions with real-time quotes and bids, which are all market driven,” Brown says. While thousands of companies may offer solutions that help companies nd cheaper prices for various products, they often are not service-driven. However, transportation is a service, Brown says. These “product” solutions often fall short when companies are buying transportation services or shipping goods worth millions of dollars around the world, he says. “You need a solution focused on the transportation environment. That’s what our teams focus on, and it’s what helps us to be successful,” he adds. nVision also offers global loss and damage claims services. These services have recovered more than $7 million in the past two years and boast an 87% recovery rate.
Another key to the company’s success is its ongoing commitment to do all it can to be the best. “That’s our focus and it comes through in our leading technology, our automation solutions, our customer service, and our hard work,” Brown says.
