Freight bill audit · TReDS-linked settlement
Every freight bill, verified before it reaches you.
Novus audits your freight invoices against the trip that actually happened — then settles your transporters through the TReDS mandate you are already required to comply with.
Your rates don't change. / Your credit period doesn't change. / Your process doesn't change.
The bill is checked against the journey
Four independent government records
Toll crossings
The route actually taken, and the time it was taken at.
E-way bill
Vehicle against LR, consignee, commodity and cargo value.
Vehicle GPS
Transit time, detention and every halt on the way.
GST record
Invoice authenticity. An invalid bill never reaches your desk.
annual TReDS volume
The mandate never excluded freight. The audit did.
Every corporate above ₹250 crore is required to be on a TReDS exchange. Almost none of them put freight there — because no exchange matches a POD, reconciles a rate card, or closes a detention dispute. And no finance team will approve a factoring unit it hasn't verified.
So the freight bill stays in the manual queue. Your team reconciles it by hand, your transporter waits sixty to a hundred and twenty days for payment, and the truck owner borrows at three to five percent a month to put diesel in the tank. All of that cost comes back to you inside the rate you negotiate.
Novus is the audit step that was missing.
For the shipper
You approve. You don't reconcile.
Only certified invoices enter your approval queue. Deviations are settled with the transporter's billing team before they ever reach your desk.
Overbilling is caught before payment, not written off after it
Distance, detention, halting, multi-point, rate-card version and escalation clauses — checked on every invoice, against the trip that produced it. Verification independent of both your team's bandwidth and your transporter's word.
Disputes close inside the cycle
Deviations open a ticket that our desk works directly with the transporter's billing team. No credit notes surfacing three months later, and no reconciliation backlog carried into year-end.
An audit trail on every rupee of freight spend
Immutable, timestamped and user-attributed. Manual overrides sit with our operations team, are reason-coded, and are logged — your approval workflow stays the final word.
Your credit period stays exactly where it is
Transporters are paid on acceptance, through TReDS. Nothing moves in your outflow, and your MSME vendors are settled inside the statutory window without you funding them early.
Carriers stop rationing capacity to you
When the money is reliable, the trucks are reliable. Priority placement follows payment certainty — it always has.
Nothing in your process has to change
Raise transport orders on the platform, upload your existing ERP dispatch report, or approve the transporter's LR for spot loads. Certified invoices push back into SAP or Dynamics once Finance clears them. No duplicate entry on either side.
Two ways to engage
Platform and people — not a black box.
The same audit standard either way. The only question is who runs the desk and who holds the vendor relationship.
Digital audit
Run it yourself.
Your transporters submit invoices on the platform. The audit runs automatically against the four government records. Your team reviews and accepts on screen, and accepted invoices publish straight to settlement.
You keep the vendor interface. Novus is the engine underneath.
Priced at cost recovery. The digital audit isn't the business — the settlement is.
Managed audit service
Or hand us the desk.
Novus operates as an extension of your AP function. We collect the invoices, chase the PODs, run the four-way check, work every deviation with the transporter's billing team, handle claims and reconciliation, and field their payment queries.
Your team receives certified invoices and periodic exception reporting — outcomes, not queues.
An annual engagement scoped to your invoice volume. Your AP staff stop taking transporter phone calls.
Below your contract
The same platform reaches the bottom of the chain.
Your freight rate is built out of what happens two layers below your contract. This is what changes there.
Your transporter
Take the order. The working capital is already there.
- Funding against the transport order — before the trip, not sixty days after it.
- The truck owner's advance gets paid without touching their own cash.
- Non-recourse. Once funded, the collection risk stops being theirs.
- No property mortgage against a building they spent twenty years buying.
The truck owner
Loaded today. Paid today.
- Advance on the day of loading. Every trip.
- Diesel, toll and driver money in hand before the wheels turn.
- Balance on POD, without the follow-up calls.
- They stop financing everybody else in the chain — and stop pricing that cost into your rate.
- Audited against the trip itself
- RBI-registered NBFC-Factor
- Settlement on your existing TReDS mandate
- Non-recourse
- No change to your rate contracts
