Proof-to-cash control · Kopano Freight Services

Executive decision

There is a contained workflow worth testing.

Fictional baselineR186,420

Billable value represented by fourteen completed loads not yet released to invoicing.

Observable control gap5 exceptions

POD, rate and reference failures require manual reconciliation across operations and finance.

DecisionPilot one job type

Test visibility, control accuracy and ownership before any ERP integration or production build.

Evidence register

Facts to measure before proposing software.

F01
Completed loads are not automatically invoice-ready

Five of fourteen fictional jobs lack a POD, agreed rate or customer reference. Those exceptions touch R91,720 in billable value.

High
F02
Exception ownership begins outside the system

The shared channel shows that evidence arrived, but not who owns the missing control or the escalation clock.

High
F03
Finance reconstructs readiness

Operations knowledge is required before finance can determine which completed jobs may be invoiced.

High
Required buyer evidence

A real Blueprint samples completed-job records, billing timestamps, exception reasons and ownership hand-offs. Interview claims are labelled separately from measured facts.

03

Contained future state

Control the hand-off without replacing dispatch or finance.

One billing record

Load, POD, rate and customer reference are linked.

Explicit control rules

A missing requirement blocks invoice-ready status.

Owned exceptions

Every blocker has one owner, due time and escalation path.

Release chronology

Evidence, resolution and billing release remain traceable.

04

Pilot acceptance

Success must be observable—not described as “digital transformation.”

Visibility
Every completed load shows billing state, blocker, owner and age

Acceptance target: 100% of pilot records

Test
Control
No invoice-ready state while a required control is missing

Acceptance target: Zero false-ready records

Test
Ownership
Every exception has one named owner and due time

Acceptance target: 100% of open exceptions

Test
Traceability
Resolution evidence and release decision are retained

Acceptance target: Complete pilot audit trail

Commercial scope

Exactly what the R12,500 engagement buys.

Measured baseline

Volumes, elapsed time, exception types and ownership.

Control register

Required evidence, rules, owners and escalation points.

Clickable workflow

A synthetic-data demonstration configured to the findings.

Decision pack

Pilot scope, acceptance measures, risks and fixed estimate.

Ten business days · 50% to start · 50% on delivery

ERP integration, production deployment, live customer data, accounting, legal advice and transport operations are excluded. The buyer can stop after the Blueprint and keep the deliverables.
