The 90-Day Turnaround: Meridian's Billing, Automated ## Executive summary Meridian Logistics, a regional freight carrier, was hemorrhaging revenue to manual invoicing mistakes — duplicate charges, missed fuel surcharges, and disputes that aged 45+ days. After implementing LedgerSync, they cut invoice errors by **73%**, reduced reconciliation time from **40 hours to 6 per week**, and recovered an estimated **$216k annually** in previously leaked revenue — all within one quarter. ## The challenge "Every Friday, two people sat down with spreadsheets and prayed," recalls CFO Tanya Brooks. With 200 trucks generating 4,000+ invoices a month, Meridian's billing ran on copy-paste and tribal knowledge. Surcharges got missed. Customers disputed double-bills. Cash collection slipped past 60 days. The errors weren't just costly — they eroded trust with their biggest accounts, two of whom threatened to leave. ## The solution LedgerSync connected directly to Meridian's TMS and accounting stack in under two weeks. Automated rules caught surcharge omissions before invoices sent; duplicate detection flagged repeats in real time; a dispute dashboard gave the team one source of truth. Onboarding included a dedicated success manager and rule-tuning workshops. ## The results | Metric | Before | After (90 days) | |--------|--------|-----------------| | Invoice error rate | 11% | 3% | | Weekly reconciliation | 40 hrs | 6 hrs | | Avg dispute age | 45 days | 12 days | | Annual revenue recovered | — | ~$216k | **Projected annual impact:** $216k recovered + 1,700 staff hours freed. ## Client quotes > "LedgerSync paid for itself in the first six weeks." — Tanya Brooks, CFO > "Our two at-risk accounts renewed. The billing trust came back." — Operations Director > "I got my Fridays back." — Senior AR Specialist ## Key takeaways - Manual billing scales errors faster than revenue. - Catching mistakes pre-send beats chasing disputes post-send. - Integration speed (2 weeks) made adoption painless. - Recovered "leaked" revenue often dwarfs software cost. - Trust with key accounts is a billing-accuracy problem. **CTAs:** `See LedgerSync in action` (top) · `Calculate your leaked revenue` (mid) · `Book a 15-min demo` (close).
