VISIBILITY
Green Mountain Consulting information management capabilities give our customers the visibility to efficiently and effectively manage carrier spend throughout their organization. We store the EDI invoicing feeds and scan data feeds we receive from our carrier partners on behalf of our customers in a database environment. We then format this data into meaningful reporting that translates into major bottom line savings and serves as the foundation to monitor and control costs throughout the enterprise on an ongoing basis.
AUTOMATION
Green Mountain Consulting automates our customers processes for receiving and paying carrier invoices, reducing the labor spent in this area by 95% or more. Green Mountain Consulting establishes and maintains electronic invoicing with your carriers and provides comprehensive automation and management of the entire invoice delivery and payment process including all related accounts payable functions such as cost center allocation, cost center level reporting, and general ledger entry.
CONTRACT VALIDATION
Green Mountain Consulting has developed unique processes with each of our carrier partners to reconcile with the carrier for any savings uncovered in the audit process as carrier approved credits. This carrier friendly approach allows the carrier to approve any credits Green Mountain Consulting is passing to your company as savings from the audit process and perform the necessary invoice adjustment on the front end, delivering your company a clean net bill.
