Case Study: Daylight Transport cuts close time in half with BlackLine

Daylight cuts close time to 3 days with BlackLine

Daylight Transport, a midsize transportation and logistics company, faced significant challenges with its manual financial processes. The manual matching of 2,500 daily invoices and a month-long bank reconciliation resulted in a six-day soft close that left issues unresolved. Seeking innovation, the company turned to vendor BlackLine to find a solution that could automate transaction matching and integrate with multiple ERPs.

By implementing BlackLine's Transaction Matching, Account Reconciliations, and Journal Entry solutions, Daylight Transport achieved a hard close in just three days. The automation allowed them to gain almost a full-time equivalent (FTE) of productivity without increasing headcount, as staff were freed from manual work for more value-added tasks. BlackLine also provided reduced errors, increased visibility with data updated every two hours, and the ability to identify and fix discrepancies daily.
