Unbilled Demurrage and Delivery Disputes
Definition
Manual processes lead to disputes over log weights, grades, and detention times, causing lost revenue from unbilled demurrage and inaccurate settlements between suppliers, haulers, and mills.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 5,000-20,000 per year in missed demurrage billings per mill; 1-2% revenue leakage from delivery disputes
- Frequency: Per delivery docket or monthly settlements
- Root Cause: Lack of real-time data sync and automated invoicing from weighbridges and delivery logs
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Forestry mills in Australia lose AUD 10,000-30,000 annually per site in unbilled demurrage recoveries. Automation of tracking and eDockets ensures all charges are captured and invoiced.
