The challenge: no overview of large amounts of data
Miele lacked transparency across a large volume of freight data and invoices. Deep analysis meant contacting advisors or ordering a report.
The solution
Kinver took over contract follow-up and cost control: checking agreements and invoices, catching double invoicing and wrong amounts, and supporting Miele in dialogue with carriers.
The impact
Ongoing control that every freight invoice is correct.
Analysis done in-house, live in meetings, instead of ordered reports.
Freed resources for the core business.
