To **handle freight invoice disputes with customers**, record each dispute with invoice, shipment, and amount contested, compare charges with contract rates and shipment evidence, decide with approval, issue corrections in the **ERP** when needed, and track recurring causes.

In **Jestor**, disputes, invoices, and shipments are connected, so decisions are fast and based on evidence.

## Why do freight disputes drag on?

Customers contest charges such as waiting time or extra stops. Evidence is scattered.

Disputes take weeks, invoices stay unpaid, and the same issues return.

## What problems does dispute tracking solve?

- Slow resolutions
- Evidence hard to find
- Unpaid invoices
- Inconsistent decisions
- Recurring causes

| Cause             | Typical evidence              |

## How do causes improve billing?

Recurring causes show where billing or operations need changes.

Clearer invoices reduce future disputes.

## Where should you start?

Register open disputes with amounts and link evidence for each.

- Resolving without evidence.
- Letting disputes age.
- Giving credits without approval.

## How do you get the team on board?
