Faster P2P cycle
- Sourcing through payment connected in one platform
- Continuous contract enforcement post-award
- GL coding automated across all freight cost centers
Generic P2P platforms break on freight. Multi-modal sourcing, dynamic rate cards, accessorial drift, multi-dimensional GL splits, and continuous contract enforcement all happen in one continuous cycle. Freehand runs the full freight P2P lifecycle as one AI platform.
Sourcing, awarding, invoicing, GL coding, and payment run as separate workflows with manual handoffs. Each break creates drift, delays, and recoverable cost.
Procurement sources annually. Audit catches errors months later. By then contracts have drifted and recovery windows have closed.
Freight cost coded manually across cost centers, brands, geographies. Errors compound and surface at close.
Manual approval workflows delay carrier payment, triggering escalations and service-tier downgrades.
Sourcing data, audit reports, AP records all live in separate systems. Finance has no unified P2P view.
Without continuous audit, contracted rates drift over the year unchecked. Procurement leverage evaporates.
Coupa, SAP Ariba, Oracle Procurement struggle with freight's multi-modal complexity. Workarounds proliferate.
One AI platform from RFQ to ERP disbursement. Sourcing, award, audit, GL coding, payment — all connected, all autonomous.
RFQs generated from historical lane data. Bids normalized and awarded based on multi-objective optimization.
Every invoice validated against contracted rates the moment it's received. Drift caught at billing time.
Cost centers, accounts, business units assigned automatically using rules mapped to your chart of accounts.
Freight cost accruals maintained from tender through payment. Finance closes on verified data.
Payment files generated and pushed to SAP, Oracle Cloud ERP, JDE, or NetSuite on schedule.
RFQ → award → contract → invoice → audit → payment in one queryable record per cycle.
RFQs generated from historical lane data. Bid packages distributed in hours.
Every invoice validated against contracted rates and accessorials.
Cost centers, accounts, business units assigned at invoice time.
Costs accrued at tender, updated as shipments move, reconciled at invoice time.
Payment files generated and pushed to SAP, Oracle, JDE, NetSuite on schedule.
RFQ → award → invoice → audit → payment in one queryable record.
Generates RFQs, distributes bid packages, normalizes responses, recommends carrier-lane assignments.
Validates every invoice against contracted rates and accessorials. Drift caught at billing.
Assigns cost centers, accounts, business units automatically using rules mapped to your chart of accounts.
Generates payment files in ERP format and pushes to SAP, Oracle, JDE, NetSuite. On schedule.
Freehand's Context Graph unifies sourcing data, contracted rates, shipment data, GL rules, and payment records into one semantic layer — enabling AI agents to run the full P2P cycle autonomously.
Built on the Freehand Logistics Language Model trained on freight sourcing, audit, and payment workflows.
P2P software automates the sourcing-to-payment cycle for freight — RFQ generation, carrier award, invoice audit, GL coding, ERP disbursement. Freehand runs all five as one AI platform.
Generic P2P (Coupa, SAP Ariba) breaks on multi-modal freight, dynamic rates, accessorials, and continuous contract enforcement. Freehand is purpose-built for this complexity.
Freehand complements Coupa/Ariba/Oracle Procurement by handling the freight-specific workflows those tools can't. Native ERP integration to SAP, Oracle, JDE, NetSuite.
The Contract Enforcement Agent validates every invoice against contracted rates and accessorials. Drift caught at billing time, not at renewal.
Most enterprises go live in 8–12 weeks. Pre-built freight domain logic deploys via EDI, API, and ERP connectors.
Native connectors to SAP, Oracle Cloud ERP, Oracle JDE, and NetSuite. Payment files in your ERP's required format.
All modes — LTL, FTL, parcel, ocean, air, intermodal. Each mode's pricing and contracting structure built in.
SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, ISO 27018:2019, GDPR, and CSA STAR.
One AI platform from RFQ to ERP disbursement. Sourcing, audit, GL coding, payment — all connected, all autonomous.
