The constant fluctuations of the freight pricing, fuel and accessorial rates, as well as time-consuming manual auditing methods are complicating the freight billing process. According to popular research, one out of every four freight bills contains an error that could affect companies bottom-line. To overcome the overpaying issue and gain more profound insights into logistics flows, organizations today need streamlined and automated freight payment solutions.

By automating the billing and auditing process, organizations can minimize efforts or time for completing medium to high volume invoice review, identify invoice errors quickly and improve supply chain optimization.

The service offered by organizations have evolved beyond audit, featuring a cloud-based business intelligence reporting engine, contract negotiation, and advisory services that includes systematic identification and optimization of current processes to drive efficiencies, reduce spend, and increase end-customer satisfaction levels. By utilizing online data mining and analytical services, freight organizations allow shippers to optimize the use of transport management systems. With help of freight solutions integrated with intelligence, customers are now able to identify modal optimization opportunities, gain visibility into accruals, monitor critical KPIs, and even understand how service exceptions can impact customer retention.
