Case Study: Walmart Canada transforms freight invoice management with DLT Labs’ DL Freight™

DLT Labs™ & Walmart Canada Transform Freight Invoice Management with Hyperledger Fabric

Walmart Canada, a major retail chain, faced a significant challenge in managing freight invoice payments to its many third-party carriers. Dispute rates were as high as 70% due to incompatible systems and complex contracts, leading to costly delays and administrative burdens. To solve this, they enlisted vendor LF Decentralized Trust (DLT Labs™) to implement a blockchain-based solution using Hyperledger Fabric.

LF Decentralized Trust developed and deployed its DL Freight™ platform, which created a single source of truth for all shipment data and automated invoicing via smart contracts. This solution virtually eliminated disputes, reducing them from 70% to just 1.5%. Invoice approval times dropped from months to under a week, processing over 200,000 invoices worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The implementation by LF Decentralized Trust resulted in unprecedented automation, stronger carrier relationships, and substantial financial benefits for Walmart Canada.
