Our manufacturing freight contract management services are designed to manage and reduce your business’s logistics spend and freight expenditures. We take the administrative burden from your team, allowing you to focus on core production, innovation, and product quality. Our experts take a deep dive into your company’s freight spend, carrier contracts, and inbound and outbound logistics flows.
Our team has extensive experience working for carriers and shippers and leverages a contemporary knowledge of carriers’ cost-to-serve and an in-depth database of LTL and parcel spend. They can negotiate better rates, audit invoices for accuracy and provide ongoing monitoring to help achieve cost-effective and reliable transportation, enhancing your supply chain resilience.
We use automated systems to verify invoices against negotiated rates and shipment details, performing detailed pre-audits before payment to validate charges. Our team also performs post-audits to recover billing errors, express service failure audits for late express packages and proactive analysis for reducing manufacturing shipping costs.
Our bill audit, payment, and reporting services help manufacturing shippers reduce costs and optimize their entire supply chain. Our team strategically analyzes all stages of the end-to-end freight lifecycle, from raw material inbound to finished product outbound, including checking carrier invoices for accuracy and identifying potential billing discrepancies. This approach helps safeguard against common issues like incorrect volume or weight charges, unexpected accessorial fees, rate discrepancies between contracts and bills, incorrect freight classification, and duplicate billing.
