Freight brokers are feeling more optimistic, but what do the numbers show? We compared @FreightWaves' Q3 report with customer data. As rates rise and capacity tightens, faster payments matter more than ever. At Upwell, we help brokers get paid faster and cut back-office costs.

Cash in the bank doesn't mean much for your AR reporting if payments are still waiting to be matched. In just six weeks, one Upwell customer processed 31,192 payment lines, matching 99.2% to invoices and 88.4% automatically. Less manual work. More accurate, up-to-date books.

Most freight AI focuses on everything before delivery. We focus on what happens after. Together with @zengistics, we've built AI workflows that automate invoicing, customer portal submissions, cash application, and more. Read the full story in your bank account. 🚛 → 💵 🤖

Our team spent a few days in Chicago at the @DescartesSG Innovation Forum last week! The highlight? Hearing Ryan Roach of Builders Supply Logistics share how they're now automating roughly 98- 99% of the work with Upwell. Nothing beats hearing that kind of customer feedback.

Invoice rejections don’t just create more work. They delay cash. One Upwell customer increased first-attempt acceptance from 84.5% to 92.6%, cutting rejections by more than half. Fewer rejections mean fewer exceptions for the team and fewer days before the payment clock starts.

Exciting news here at Upwell! Our co-founders @charleydehoney and Aaron Freeman are featured in the Founding Edition of Open Book from Open Range, alongside 40 startups building and growing across Nebraska. Check out Open Book and give it a read here: openrange.org/open-book

One of this transportation company’s most complex accounts went from 6.7 days between delivery and invoice to just 2.8. The requirements and portal didn’t change. They just stopped doing the work manually... And the faster an invoice goes out, the sooner the cash can come in.

Eight months ago, one transportation company was waiting 26.2 days from invoice to cash. Today, it’s 14.3. That’s 11.9 days faster and roughly $7M in working capital available sooner. Same revenue. Same dollars. They’re just becoming cash a whole lot faster with Upwell.

That’s a wrap on the McLeod User Conference in Nashville. 👋 Charley, Aaron, and Michael spent the last few days at Booth 719 hearing directly from @McLeodSoftware customers, talking freight, finance, and what Upwell should build next.

Our first @McLeodSoftware integration customer, @HUMD_Hummer, is celebrating 30 YEARS with McLeod. Pretty incredible to see two companies grow alongside each other for that long, and even cooler that Upwell gets to be part of what they're building next.

Our CEO/Co-Founder @charleydehoney got to spend some time with Tom McLeod today. Tom started @McLeodSoftware more than 40 years ago, and what he and the team have built since then is impressive. We're glad to be a part of this year's McLeod User Conference. Find us at Booth 719.

Happy National Truck Driver Appreciation Week! While drivers keep freight moving, we’ll keep working to make the AR side easier for the logistics teams supporting every load. Thank you to the drivers who keep this industry going!

Most billing teams have one or two portals, creating most of the manual work. Start there. Upwell’s Portal Pilot automates uploads and status checks with no TMS integration or long-term commitment. Fewer touches. Fewer rejections. Faster invoices. Faster cash.

Next week, Charley's trading Omaha for Nashville for the @McLeodSoftware User Conference. McLeod always brings together a good mix of brokers, carriers, and 3PLs, so he's excited to get the chance to attend again. If you’re heading to Nashville too, find him while you’re there!

Freight doesn’t stop for Labor Day, so there will still be invoices to send, portals to update, reminders to go out, and plenty happening behind the scenes. The difference is, your team shouldn’t have to spend the weekend keeping tabs on all of it.

One freight document shouldn’t need four people to keep it moving. Upwell can turn four billing touches into one, cutting the back-and-forth and giving your team more time as volume grows.

Freight brokers know the rules to service the freight. Billing rules often get figured out when an invoice goes unpaid. Relying on someone to catch the issue and remember it next time is tough to scale. Upwell is built to fix that.

Beautiful day in Tennessee for a great cause. ⛳ Our Head of Product, Michael Pair, is out at @bitfreighter's 4th Annual Karen Cameron ALS Golf Tournament today. We are proud to once again sponsor an event that brings the freight community together in support of ALS.

Your business grows. Your customers change. Your team takes on more. But a lot of the manual work stays the same. It’s worth looking back and asking how much of that work needs to follow your team into the next 12 months. At Upwell, we’re working to make sure less of it does.
