THE PROBLEM

As a major freight broker with an established customer base, Magellan is responsible for moving millions of dollars worth of goods on a daily basis. Like all brokerages, the company often encounters lumper payments at pickup and final delivery. With hundreds of trucks in operations each day, it’s easy to see how issues with payment transactions can have a negative impact on the bottom line. For Magellan, the main issue was tracking down lumper payment receipts.

Our operation teams spent a lot of time trying to obtain receipts from drivers. In several cases, receipts were misplaced by drivers or they were illegible by the time we received them. This slowed down our accounting and reimbursement processes.

THE SOLUTION

Because of Relay, Magellan’s operations team no longer wastes precious time authorizing late-night codes and chasing down lumper payment receipts. The entire pick up and delivery process is more efficient, saving Magellan and its drivers, shippers, and warehouse partners time, money, and stress.

We had one branch of the operations team test out Relay first, and they all said it was amazing. Now we use Relay for lumper payments as often as possible to streamline the process. 
It’s made everyone’s job a lot easier.
