PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Transportation and logistics companies can automate up to 90 percent of the paperwork associated with accounts payable, accounts receivable, and other business-critical tasks. The automation is facilitated by HubTran document management capabilities that are now integrated with the DAT Keypoint transportation management system (TMS). The integration, announced today by DAT Solutions, makes the HubTran automation available on request to DAT Keypoint customers, with no additional software or installation required.

HubTran uses optical character recognition and artificial intelligence to “read” incoming documents, such as bills of lading, proofs of delivery, and carrier invoices. HubTran matches these documents automatically to the corresponding customer orders and carrier rate agreements in DAT Keypoint, a TMS designed specifically for freight brokers. The matched carrier invoices are ready for aging in Keypoint, and all documents are tagged, stored and retrievable.

Any exceptions are flagged by HubTran, which provides a workflow for back-office personnel to resolve any outstanding issues with the carrier. Because human intervention is required on an exceptions-only basis, the integration of HubTran with Keypoint enables the freight brokerage to improve accuracy as well as productivity.

“DAT is committed to giving our customers access to the best tools, so they can be efficient and successful,” said Steve Blair, general manager of DAT Keypoint. “The integration of HubTran with Keypoint is essential because it supports the kind of back-office productivity that’s critical to eliminating cost, accelerating cash flow, and enabling the business to grow,” Blair said.

“HubTran is proud to bring these efficiencies and cost savings to freight brokers,” said Matt Bernstein, CEO of HubTran. “The integration with Keypoint will make this functionality available and easy to incorporate into the freight broker’s work processes, so they can realize efficiencies immediately.”
