Optimize cash flow and reduce DSO for logistics, trucking, and distribution firms. Learn how Abivo’s AI agents automate payment follow-ups and simplify complex invoicing.
Solving the Cash Flow Crunch in Distribution and Logistics
In the fast-paced world of logistics and freight delivery, the gap between delivering goods and receiving payment can create significant financial strain. Whether you are managing a fleet of trucks, a regional warehouse, or a complex food and beverage distribution network, your operations depend on consistent cash flow. High invoice volumes and thin margins mean that even a small percentage of overdue accounts can disrupt your entire supply chain.
Abivo helps transportation and distribution professionals get paid on time without the administrative burden of manual outreach. Our AI voice and email agents act as an extension of your finance team to:
Confirm receipt of bills of lading and invoices immediately
Remind clients of specific net payment terms
Answer common billing inquiries regarding fuel surcharges or freight dimensions
Route complex disputes directly to your internal team
Reducing DSO and Manual Labor in High-Volume Invoicing
Logistics providers often face complex billing structures, including detention fees, accessorial charges, and multi-stop delivery costs. Manually following up on these invoices is time-consuming and prone to human error. By automating the accounts receivable process, your operations managers can stay focused on moving cargo rather than chasing payments.
Abivo integrates directly with the tools you already use, including NetSuite, QuickBooks, SAP Business One, and Microsoft Dynamics. This seamless connection allows for:
90% Reduction in manual outreach: Let AI handle the first five follow-ups so your team only steps in when necessary.
75% Faster recovery: Identify and resolve payment friction points the moment an invoice becomes past due.
24/7 Scalability: Scale your outreach efforts during peak seasons without hiring additional administrative staff.
Maintaining Professional Relationships Through Automated Care
In the transportation industry, your reputation is your most valuable asset. Aggressive collections can damage long-term partnerships with shippers and brokers. Abivo’s human-like agents provide persistent, professional follow-up that preserves client trust while ensuring your business stays liquid.
By implementing AI-driven A/R automation, distribution firms can:
Boost recovery on overdue freight bills: Maintain a steady stream of capital to cover rising fuel and maintenance costs.
Reduce reliance on costly call centers: Eliminate the overhead of outsourced collections agencies.
Stay compliant with industry regulations: Ensure every communication is logged and follows standard lending and billing protocols.
Our technology plugs into your existing CRM or collections software to scale outreach, reduce cost-per-contact, and dramatically improve your recovery rates.
