Escape the Freight Factoring Trap: Cut 60+ Day Shipper DSO & Reclaim Margins
Freight brokerages pay carriers in Net 7–15 days while shippers take 60+ days to pay invoices. Jaktra automates shipper collection cadences, triages detention and POD disputes with AI, and accelerates cash flow so you can eliminate 3%–5% factoring fees.
When motor carriers demand Quick-Pay and enterprise shippers take 55 to 75 days to pay freight invoices, logistics companies get squeezed into predatory 3%–5% invoice factoring. On a 15% gross margin brokerage, factoring consumes up to a third of your profit just to fund the cash float.
