Manual tracking catches billing errors — the data proves it. But it relies on teams not losing tickets, not missing line items, and spending 60+ hours a week in spreadsheets.

Commodity Manager standardizes the process: every ticket is captured digitally, every invoice is matched against deliveries, and discrepancies are flagged before you pay. Same errors caught. A fraction of the time and cost.

Why Freestone Shows $0 Saved

On the Freestone project, tracking identified $172K in billing errors across flex base, stone, and sand. But the team had lost 137 delivery tickets. Without tickets as proof, they couldn't dispute the invoices — and likely paid every dollar.

Finding errors isn't enough. You need the tickets to prove it. That's what Commodity Manager is built to do.
