1490. # TFCP - The Speed to Cash: Eliminating Manual Friction in the Back Office

from The Freight Coach Podcast

What if a simple adjustment in how you handle your back-office systems could dramatically transform your cash flow and give you an unfair advantage over the competition?  Lars Ward of Transflo is back to break down how technology is leveling the playing field for smaller brokerages and carriers, why your data is more relevant today during a market shift than ever before, and how automating repeatable tasks like invoicing can save your business from devastating cash flow gaps. I've always said that you need to view your operation from the bottom up, cutting out the friction in your billing and collections process so you can keep your cash moving fast! Lars and I dive into why a relationship should only be the tiebreaker, not the sole reason you win business, and how utilizing the right back-office automation tools can actually make you a better, more proactive partner to your customers!   About Lars Ward Lars Ward is VP of Automation Solutions at Transflo, where he's helping brokers and fleets eliminate cash flow bottlenecks through smarter tech. He's spent 15 years in freight with Knight-Swift, Cheema, and FreightVana. Today he advises logistics startups and runs FreightTechToday.com — a map of the freight tech landscape for operators who don't have time to sift through the noise. He's got a front-row seat to where freight gets stuck, and he's obsessed with finding the exits.   Connect with Lars Website: https://www.transflo.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/larsward/ / https://www.linkedin.com/company/pegasus-transtech/   📊📉 Don't miss out on the latest market trends by subscribing to your TOP Transportation Morning Show! 🌎 🎬🎯 #TheFreightCoach Morning Show is LIVE every weekday at 10:30 AM CST to break down transportation industry headlines!
