provider performance, benchmark costs, and identify cost drivers, among other functions. All these capabilities operate as one connected ecosystem, Brown says. nVision captures transportation information from virtually any source, uses intelligence and governance to ensure that it’s credible and nancially accurate, processes the transaction through the freight audit and payment lifecycle, and then transforms the resulting data into intelligence that clients can use to make better decisions. For example, nVision worked with a global consumer products company whose logistics network included multiple transportation modes and logistics providers, regional nance organizations, and various freight audit companies and enterprise information systems. Customer orders, shipment tenders, packing lists, and other records were transmitted through multiple submission protocols. As a result, different parties often held different pieces of information about each shipment. By the time the transportation information had been consolidated into reports, many operational decisions had already been made. nVision Global worked with the company to implement a Transportation Financial Intelligence ™ strategy, including its Transportation Information Gateway ™ and Transportation Data Governance ™ solution. The initiative reduced manual document handling and exception management, while providing speedier and more consistent invoice processing.

U.S. BANK FREIGHT AUDIT AND PAYMENT: ENGINEERED FOR CERTAINTY In its approach to freight bill audit and payment services, U.S. Bank focuses on helping customers gain greater control, con dence, and value from their transportation spend. “This helps organizations improve nancial accuracy, reduce risk, optimize working capital, and make better transportation decisions,” Burglechner says. Several capabilities differentiate U.S. Bank’s freight payment services, Burglechner says. One is the fact that it’s a bank. “Customers trust us to manage millions of dollars in transportation spend with rigorous audit controls, payment integrity, cybersecurity protections, and the nancial strength of one of the nation’s leading nancial institutions,” he adds. In 2025, U.S. Bank processed more than $46 billion in freight payments on behalf of hundreds of its customers and nearly 20,000 carrier payees across more than 200 countries and 100 currencies. More than 99% of payments are handled electronically. U.S. Bank’s capabilities extend beyond removing payment friction. “Our ability to bring freight audit, payment, and working capital solutions together through a single provider allows shippers to optimize cash ow while providing carriers with more predictable access to payments,” Burglechner says. This strengthens the connection between parties by creating transparent processes and access to data. “We’re proud to invest equally in both sides, creating a rising tide that moves the ow of money and business forward,” he says. Because U.S. Bank believes in hands-on partnerships, customers are supported by transportation experts who help them continuously improve processes, resolve issues, and uncover opportunities for greater ef ciency.
