💰 Paying Bills: A Necessary Evil or an Opportunity for Automation? 💡

Paying bills is a necessary part of doing business, but wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have to: 🔹 Manually key invoices into CargoWise? 🔹 Manually review every single invoice? 🔹 Handle endless manual processes?

So, what’s an organization to do? 🤔

✅ Payables automation + CargoWise = A perfect match!

There are multiple integrated solutions available—Expedock, Cargo Docket, Carguber, Raft, just to name a few. Implementing payables automation in CargoWise can be a seamless process when done right. And yes, I have hands-on experience with implementation and process design for integrated payables automation. 🚀

💡 Pro Tip: To maximize the benefits of automation, your organizations in CargoWise need to be CLEAN.

Why does this matter? Because in CargoWise, your master data is the foundation of everything. Automation, workflows, and system-wide integrations all depend on how well-maintained and complete your data is.

🔹 No duplicate organizations 🔹 Complete, accurate, and structured data 🔹 A solid foundation for efficiency

So, now that your organizations are in good shape and you’re ready to pick a solution…

👉 You have options! You can either go with CargoWise’s native solution—using a combination of workflows, milestones, tasks, and triggers—or choose a third-party solution like Raft, Expedock, Cargo Docket, or Carguber to integrate directly into CargoWise.

🚀 How does this help you? Shipments with cost accruals can be automatically matched to vendor invoices, requiring no intervention unless something is wrong.

✨ This means your payables team can shift from manual data entry to high-value tasks like: ✔ Auditing ✔ Managing cash flow ✔ Ensuring financial controls are followed

The number of outliers requiring manual intervention? Just a fraction of what it used to be. 💡

💡 Bonus Tip: You can also streamline and automate your accruals process to further optimize your finance function—allowing your teams to focus on more value-added work instead of chasing numbers. 🚀
