Global shipping continues to grapple with fragmented billing processes, often delaying cargo movement. According to McKinsey, adopting an electronic bill of lading could save $6.5 billion in direct costs and enable $40 billion in global trade. As vessels carry goods for thousands of shippers per voyage, the administrative burden of managing and reconciling invoices through outdated systems has made digital freight invoicing a rising priority for modernization.

Adopting an electronic bill of lading could save $6.5 billion in direct costs and enable $40 billion in global trade.

How can digitized invoicing and integrated payment platforms reduce administrative overhead and accelerate the cargo release process?

On Hammer Down at Manifest Vegas, host Mike Bush talks with Rishav Mondal, Senior Key Account Manager at ODeX. Mondal dives into how the company helps shipping lines and customers manage documentation and payments at scale. He explains how ODeX replaces inefficient email workflows with instant access to invoices, shipment reports, and digital payment options—all in one platform.

Key Points from the Episode:

  • Centralized Access to Freight Documents: ODeX eliminates the need for back-and-forth emails by consolidating all shipping invoices and documents on one platform. Customers can log in, view pending invoices, and track documents in real time, saving time and reducing human error.
  • Faster Payment Confirmations: Before ODeX, many customers waited up to 48 hours for payment confirmation through traditional ACH or wire methods. ODeX shortens this process to six hours. This faster turnaround helps prevent cargo delays caused by pending financial approvals and strengthens the case for digital freight invoicing across global shipping networks.
  • Expanding Across North America: ODeX launched in the United States in 2023 and has since onboarded more than 1,000 customers. After strong demand, the platform is now available in Canada. It supports over 150 global shipping lines and continues to grow across 15 countries.

Rishav Mondal serves as the Senior Key Account Manager for Implementation and Relationship Management at ODeX. He supports platform adoption across new markets and collaborates with global stakeholders to streamline digital workflows in freight logistics. His background in international operations, project coordination, and client success has played a key role in ODeX's expansion across 15 countries.
