Freight Broker

Recovering $34K+ in missed revenue per month

Client Profile

What ClearLane Did

  • Deployed dedicated AP and AR teams operating inside the client's TMS
  • Implemented pre-billing revenue audit on every load before invoicing
  • Activated carrier invoice verification catching rate and accessorial errors
  • Launched structured AR follow-up and dispute resolution process
