## The Hidden Cost of Manual Transportation Allocation
Global enterprises face an impossible challenge: tracking and budgeting transportation spend at high-level budgeting categories while needing precise allocation down to the GL, or even SKU, level. Manual processes can't scale with your complexity, resulting in:
- Hours of manual labor costs with error-prone results
- Inability to allocate transportation costs to responsible parties
- Lack of visibility into true transportation spend and cost to serve
- Delayed monthly close cycles that impact decision-making
