The Challenge

Billing Complexity. Data Inconsistency. Revenue Leakage.

The client faced ongoing billing inefficiencies due to inconsistent AWB formats, manual data entry errors and post-billing disputes. Fragmented processes across airport stations, combined with the absence of unified guidelines, led to freight revenue leakage, strained customer relationships and longer dispute resolution cycles.

The Solution

AI-powered Audit Intelligence Meets Operational Rigor

Conducted ‘Station Connects’ across five airport locations to analyze billing nuances and identify execution inconsistencies
Diagnosed process gaps, variations in billing execution and system limitations
Deployed an AI and ML powered audit intelligence solution to capture and extract data from 100 percent of scanned AWBs
Identified anomalies triggering over and under-billing, enabling proactive mitigation and revenue leakage prevention

The Future-ready Shift

Accuracy at scale demands intelligent orchestration. By combining AI-led audit intelligence with domain-led execution, WNS helped the client shift from reactive billing corrections to a high-trust, insight-led billing ecosystem across cargo management, built for resilience, speed and long-term value realization.
