Last Mile Solutions protects margin at transaction level

Last Mile Solutions (LMS) operates at the heart of the EV charging ecosystem, connecting charge point operators, mobility service providers and end customers across international markets. Its platform processes and validates charging session data, handles roaming transactions between networks and ensures that usage is correctly invoiced across parties. This model drives high volumes in a structurally low-margin environment where billing accuracy is directly tied to profitability. With millions of charging sessions per month and a high-volume in invoices generated across international markets, even small mismatches can have material financial impact.
For the finance leadership team, gaining control over transactional billing was not just an operational improvement, it became a business-critical priority.
“Given our volumes and business model, accurate transaction-level reconciliation is essential to protect revenue and maintain control.”

The Challenge
Before Actuals, reconciliation was performed manually at transaction level. Mismatches in charging sessions and roaming transactions caused significant margin impact. In a business where margins are tight, billing errors could lead to lost revenue.
The core issue was aligning and verifying all data correctly on a transaction level, particularly for roaming transactions, where external charging sessions must be billed accurately to end customers.
Without structural verification, LMS didn’t have the full control over transactional billing.
Solution
LMS evaluated several options but ultimately Actuals was selected due to its proven track record, deep market understanding and an existing relationship through a shared client.
Actuals was implemented as a dedicated business control layer. The finance team uses the platform monthly to manage billing cycle checks and coordinate reconciliation tasks. Once live, Actuals introduced three layers of control across validation, matching, and cross checking. This provided structured verification at the transaction level.
Results
Since implementation, LMS has significantly reduced billing mismatches and strengthened margin control. Revenue protection improved by catching discrepancies that would otherwise directly impact profitability.
Actuals ensures end-to-end payment verification, which is particularly important in a tight-margin, high-volume model. The platform also creates the potential to evolve toward live data streaming and real-time reconciliation as LMS’s infrastructure develops.
Currently, usage is driven by the finance and business control team. Future integrations with PSPs and broader data warehouse connections are being considered as volumes continue to grow.
Conclusion
For Last Mile Solutions, reconciliation is not a back-office exercise. It is direct margin protection. By verifying every charging session and invoice at transaction level, LMS regained control over billing accuracy and strengthened the financial foundation of its international operations.
As volumes scale further, the platform provides a stable base for broader integrations and more advanced data streaming capabilities.
Truth inside
LMS processes millions of charging sessions and hundreds of thousands of invoices each month. In that environment, mismatches quickly erode margin.
Today, validation, matching, and cross-checks are structured and controlled, protecting revenue at scale.
