The Challenge
The opportunity is to eliminate a job costed only after billing, an estimate compared after the fact, and a freight charge that missed the bill. The proposed workflow is source-linked, but the current operating baseline and financial value remain illustrative until validated with the client.
How It Works
- The engine reads every station construction job, customer-owned overhaul, parts sale, freight and crane charge against the estimate it was booked at and the materials issued from the yard.
- It flags a job drifting past its estimate while work is left to change, a missing line before the invoice goes, and a rate that does not match the agreement.
- A disputed line arrives with its evidence.
What It Removes
- A job costed only after billing
- An estimate compared after the fact
- A freight charge that missed the bill
