Freight audit and pay is like the diet industry. It’s a category that thrives precisely because it never resolves the underlying problem. For 120 years it has reinvented itself without ever fixing the shipment: the payment era, when banks matched invoices to posted rates; the audit era, when gain-share auditors got paid to find the same carrier errors month after month; and the data era, when those invoices became dashboards. Today’s AI audit startups are the last chapter of that story, not a new one. We are now in the fourth era: the control era. Shipping AI makes it possible for a single platform to connect every upstream decision, from delivery promise to carrier selection to execution, evaluate the shipment in real time, and close the financial loop automatically. Only the provider that holds the shipment’s system of record can do this, which is why Shipium is pivotal to this era. Join Scott Luton and Jake Barr alongside Shipium’s Kris Gösser and Tim Meester to learn how the four eras brought us here and how Always-On Audit connects the entire shipment lifecycle from promise to payment, mitigating discrepancies during execution rather than weeks after the invoice is reconciled.

The ability to rapidly respond to disruptive events in a sustainable manner is a critical capability for most enterprises. The key is to minimize the impact on cost and quality. How can supply chain leaders operationalize supply chain resilience to create value in the supply chain? The answer: They must have total visibility into inventory, order management, pricing, forecasting and more. A buy-sell solution — a multiparty platform for customers, suppliers, LSPs and trading partners — is a fresh approach that supports convergence while minimizing risk, disruptions and shortages. This tactic improves the balance sheet without sacrificing service levels. In this webinar — How A Buy-Sell Solution Can Operationalize Supply Chain Resilience To Create Value — GEP experts Alex Zhwill outline what you need and how you can benefit from this innovative buy-sell business process. On the Agenda: · Capabilities such as forecast collaboration and inventory management ensure the optimization of supply chains while controlling costs · Real-time collaboration with embedded context yields greater accuracy and productivity — which can’t happen without improved internal and external stakeholder experiences · Optimizing inventory and minimizing CapEx investments enable enterprises to be more nimble in pursuing market opportunities and improving resiliency
