Problems We Help Solve
Sound familiar?
The symptoms show up in billing, inventory, close, pricing, and management reporting long before anyone calls them a systems problem.
Loads that never reach an invoice
Tickets go missing between the scale house and billing, with no reliable way to prove every load was invoiced.
Pricing and freight that don't carry through
Contract rates, customer exceptions, and hauling costs lose their connection to the load. The customer catches the error first.
Inventory that doesn't match physical counts
Book inventory and physical counts disagree, and nobody can trace the difference back to what was produced or shipped.
Reporting that depends on spreadsheets
Ticket data gets rekeyed, close waits on reconciliation, and margin by plant, product, or customer has to be rebuilt by hand.
Connected Financial Systems
Follow each load from order through financial reporting
Every handoff must preserve the correct customer, product, location, quantity, price, inventory movement, and accounting treatment.
The goal is not to replace every specialized system. It is to make the right systems exchange reliable information, expose exceptions, and support the accounting and management requirements of the business.

THE GAP WE FILL
The problem usually sits between operations and accounting
A software consultant may understand the ticketing or ERP platform without knowing whether the resulting revenue, inventory, freight, or margin is right. An accountant may know the numbers do not reconcile without being able to fix the systems and handoffs producing them.
HBS works across those handoffs. The goal is not simply to connect software or improve a report. It is to make sure what was ordered, produced, shipped, billed, and recorded in the financials remains traceable from plant activity through financial reporting.
WHAT WE DO
Make the numbers tell the same story from plant to profit
A load crosses the scale in seconds. By the time it reaches your financials it has passed through dispatch, billing, and accounting, and every handoff is another chance for product, price, freight, or customer data to change. HBS builds the systems and processes that carry ticket activity through intact, so tons sold and dollars booked agree.
Ticketed Sales That Reach the Financials Reliably
Tickets should reach billing and accounting once, with the correct customer, product, quantity, price, freight, and location attached.
Pricing, Freight, and Inventory That Hold Together
Contract pricing, surcharges, freight, credits, inventory movements, and physical counts should survive the handoffs between operational and financial systems.
Reporting You Can Reconcile to Reality
Revenue, tons, inventory, freight, and margin should be visible by plant, product, and customer without rebuilding the business in spreadsheets.
CATCH WHAT FALLS THROUGH THE CRACKS
Bulk Billing Review
Are your loads getting billed accurately? Or at all?
The Bulk Billing Review verifies whether ticketed activity is reaching billing accurately and identifies where it is not. HBS reviews a defined period of ticket activity at one location and reconciles ticketed loads to invoiced activity, then examines the workflows and system handoffs behind any exceptions.
WHAT YOU GET
Ticket-to-invoice flow map
How ticketed activity moves from the plant through billing and accounting, including the manual handoffs, spreadsheets, and rekeying used to bridge system gaps.
Billing reconciliation
Where ticketed activity and invoiced activity agree and where they do not.
Findings by financial impact
Missing, delayed, duplicate, incorrectly billed, or otherwise exceptional transactions, with the cause and effect explained where possible.
A prioritized correction plan
What should be fixed first, what can wait, and whether the answer is configuration, integration, reporting, workflow, or controls.
Stop assuming every load was billed correctly.
Confirm what’s working, uncover billing gaps, and know what needs attention.

WHY HBS
Built by someone who understands the plant, the financials, and the systems behind them.
Joe Carnes spent more than a decade with a multi-location sand and gravel producer, starting in labor roles and eventually leading both finance and technology across as many as seventeen entities. He was responsible for the ERP, ticketing and trucking systems, the integrations between them, and the accounting and reporting those systems fed.
Through HBS, he has helped aggregates and bulk logistics businesses through startup. He also brings four years of experience from the contractor side of the industry, working in finance and project controls for a publicly traded federal contractor across utilities, site work, and infrastructure projects. That work covers estimating, forecasting, job cost, EACs, and project accounting.
That matters because the hardest problems usually sit between the plant, the systems, and the financials. HBS understands how activity moves from the scale house and operation into the numbers you rely on.
Stop rebuilding the numbers.
Start trusting them.
If your tickets, billing, inventory, accounting, and reporting are not lining up, let’s talk about what you’re seeing and where HBS may fit.
