The D2C Cash-on-Delivery (COD) Reconciliation Nightmare
If your business ships physical products with Cash-on-Delivery across India or international courier networks (Bluedart, Shiprocket, Delhivery, Express), you know the weekly accounting pain:
- Courier partners send messy, non-standardized Excel remittance sheets.
- RTO (Return to Origin) charges and freight weight discrepancies are hidden across thousands of rows.
- Finance teams spend 15–25 manual hours every week cross-referencing bank deposits against Shopify order IDs.
- Unaccounted deductions and courier leakage go unnoticed for months.
How We Automate the Entire Financial Loop
We deploy custom Python and Next.js automation engines that ingest multi-carrier remittance reports, extract line-item payouts, and match them against your master orders in real time.
