A proof of delivery (POD) is the signed document confirming a shipment was received, and is typically required before a broker can invoice the customer.
Why PODs matter for cash flow
No POD, no invoice. Collecting and matching PODs quickly is directly tied to how fast a brokerage gets paid, which is why chasing missing PODs is a prime candidate for automation.
