ITW — BMS Demo · TMS Workflow & Demo · Two-Solution Comparison

What's New in This VersionAdded since the previous (May) version

This version now leads with the Lightweight BMS model. We already have a working end-to-end DEMO of a settlement-service solution built for a manufacturing client — and this model can directly take on ITW's needs. New in this version: a live TMS + BMS mode system operation demo — demonstrating Contract Management, Quotation Management and Bill Generation in our system, on ITW’s Jindu Road lane.

MODE · BMSEnd-to-End Flow — Onboarding to Monthly Reportpre-stage, D0, exception, monthly

A one-time onboarding leads into the monthly cycle; the document layer marks the input/output retained at each step. On your side only three actions remain: forward the bill, confirm the basis, review the report.

MODE · BMSLive Reconciliation — Real Bill, 121 Rowsdemo on real 202604 sample data

121

shipments fully reconciled
row by row, no sampling

747,477.32

CNY tax-inclusive total
auto-summed by the engine

93

rows pass on first computation

variance + exception rows
surfaced for review

Three-state result, every row tagged

The engine recomputes each of the 121 shipments against the filed contract rules and tags every row Pass / Variance / Exception — no row skipped, no sampling blind spot.

Pass · 93 Min-charge hit · 22 Tier variance · 5 No-rate · 1

A real variance, surfaced not buried

In this sample the engine caught an agent overcharge of +232.56 against an undercharge of −232.86 — netted, located to the exact shipment, and raised for confirmation.

Excerpt: 4 pass + 3 real variances + 1 process-demo case

MODE · BMSBeyond Reconciliation — More Than Bill CheckingContract Management · Standardization · Insights

BEYOND THE BILL

Contract Management & Standardization

We file every supplier's contracts and rate cards into one managed rule base — turning fragmented, inconsistent templates into a single standardized structure you can govern.

Supplier Quote-Management Insights

Across suppliers we surface inconsistent or redundant quotes and recommend a standardized quote structure, so pricing is comparable and governable.

Project-Management Insights & Standards

We turn reconciled data into cross-project and cross-supplier patterns, and propose standards that fit the billing rules to how your business actually runs.

Once the rules are filed, Lightweight BMS doesn't just check bills — it helps you standardize and optimize how you contract, price, and manage projects.

MODE · BMSService Content & Scopea closed-loop service, not software

Closed-loop service

What we provide is a closed-loop reconciliation service, not software you have to operate. The full loop is run by Local Logistics:

Rule filing → Bill reconciliation → Exception assessment → Report delivery → Confirmation return

No system to learn, no software to install on your side

On your side — only three actions

1

Forward bill to the designated mailbox · bill-arrival day, whitelist

2

Confirm pending bases within 2 business days · rules only, no computation

3

Receive report & decide variance handling · monthly, fully auditable ledger

Scope: full reconciliation of transportation + warehousing bills — this period 2 sample contracts, then all suppliers onboarded in batches.

MODE · BMSService Features — Feature → Advantage → BenefitFAB

Feature — what we have	Advantage — where it is strong	Benefit — what you get
Email intake, zero system change	Nothing to install or learn; forward the bill to onboard	Usable day one, zero IT investment
Rules filed with source	Every amount traceable by rule number to contract / rate / email	Instant basis when challenged; dispute & audit cost drops
Engine recomputes every row	All shipments checked in minutes, no sampling	Reconciliation input 30 → ≤3 person-days
Expert assesses each item	Variances classified, audit-trailed, owned by a person	Results settle directly; errors don’t hang
Exceptions feed the rule library	Same problem never twice; more accurate with use	Quality rises, cost doesn’t grow with complexity
Parallel-validation switchover	Run vs current manual; switch only when consistency met	Proven by data; zero-risk cutover
Automated basis safeguarding	73 checks; identical result regardless of who or when	Stable monthly output, people-independent

MODE · BMSService Commitments — SLA & KPI4 commitments, 6 metrics

Four commitments written into the service

SLA 01 · Accuracy backstop

Accountable for every result; switch over only when parallel-validation consistency is met; error trail + reviews fed back into the rule library.

SLA 02 · Timeliness

First-pass result on D0; monthly report at a fixed point; to-confirm items raised within 48 hours.

SLA 03 · Completeness

Every shipment checked, full row-by-row recompute, no cherry-picking, no sampling.

SLA 04 · Rule assets are yours

Changes / renewals filed & locked within 48h; assets exportable any time, no service lock-in.

Six quantifiable metrics (KPI)

Metric	Target
Reconciliation coverage	100% — every shipment, row-by-row
First-pass timeliness	D0 same day · minute-level
Reconciliation accuracy	≥99.5% vs manual (parallel target)
Variance closure rate	100% — none left hanging
To-confirm response	within 48h of discovery
Amount traceability	100% — traceable to source

Risk caught	Missed / under / duplicate charges caught at source	Bill-vs-contract variance caught
Analysis	Order-level base, free drill-down	Need-driven reports
Value	Governs the front-end process from the back end	Post-hoc assurance the bill is correct
