Slash 3-10% Off Freight Spending with No Risk
In today’s fast-paced landscape, thousands of invoices can pass through a company’s systems each week. One of the most overlooked sources of savings lies in post-auditing that paper and electronic trail.
Post-auditing services have emerged as an essential tool for ensuring financial accuracy, accountability and recovering lost profits. That’s a must with transportation costs climbing and operations growing more complex.
The bonus? It’s risk free and contingency-based. So shippers only pay some of the funds recovered, nothing upfront.
It’s almost criminal for shippers not to connect with Tompkins Ventures and examine the options. We have best-in-class partners who provide comprehensive post-auditing solutions. Solutions that empower shippers to reclaim what’s rightfully theirs – without lifting a finger or paying an extra dime.
What is Post-Auditing?
Unlike freight billing and payment services that focus on the pre-payment phase, post-auditing examines freight and parcel invoices after shippers pay carriers. This process offers a safety net that captures what pre-audits sometimes miss.
Post-auditors dive deep into shipping records, dissecting every detail of paid invoices, contracts, rate agreements and carrier communications. Their mission is to find and fix billing errors, extra charges and systemic issues that cost shippers billions of dollars a year.
Tompkins Ventures’ partners use sophisticated analytics platforms and industry veterans who know where to look for these errors. The right post-auditing service can save 3-10% in shipping costs. That’s money that goes to your bottom line.
Freight Post-Auditing Is Your Second Line of Defense
Even the most efficient pre-audit systems aren’t perfect. Industry data show that businesses can lose up to 10% of their freight spend due to missed billing errors. Tompkins Ventures’ freight post-audit services provide a detailed, multi-step evaluation that reexamines historical transactions and recovers erroneous payments.
Whether it’s duplicate charges, incorrect fuel surcharges or misapplied accessorial charges, freight post-audits ensure no detail is overlooked. Beyond recovering funds, our experts offer valuable insights that enhance future freight management strategies.
Key benefits include:
- Recovery of 3% to 10% of total freight spend
- Root cause analysis and long-term error correction
- Carrier collaboration to reduce future problems
Parcel Post-Audit: Small Packages, Big Savings
Small parcel shipping errors – such as late deliveries, misrated packages and inaccurate dimensional charges – cost businesses billions each year. However, shippers can take control of these losses by leveraging parcel post-audit services, which thoroughly scrutinize every invoice for errors and reclaim money through carrier refund processes.
Moreover, their parcel auditing approach is proactive, not reactive. In addition to recovering overpayments, they support clients in renegotiating carrier contracts, benchmarking performance and tightening operational controls. As a result, businesses benefit from a stronger, more informed parcel strategy that delivers better margins and fewer surprises.
Tompkins Ventures’ parcel post-audit service delivers:
- Automated identification of service failures and late deliveries
- Contract negotiation support for “best-in-class” pricing
- Dashboard reporting for real-time visibility and accountability
Post-Auditing Is Zero-Risk, All-Reward
Perhaps the most appealing feature of Tompkins Ventures’ post-auditing services is their risk-free, contingency-based model. Clients pay nothing upfront and only share in the savings. That means no risk, no disruption to current operations and no investment of internal resources.
This hands-off process is ideal for busy logistics teams that lack the time for manual audits but can’t afford to let dollars slip through the cracks.
Even if your payment provider conducts a pre-audit, a freight or parcel post-audit adds an additional layer of financial control. And often uncovers errors that were previously missed.
The Final Word
By reviewing what’s already been paid, shippers can recover lost funds, refine their processes, improve contract terms and build a more resilient network.
Tompkins Ventures’ post-auditing services deliver deep insights and real financial impact. And our partners don’t add additional work for your team. Whether you’re looking to tighten your freight spend or rein in small parcel costs, post-auditing is the modern answer to better operations and financial clarity.
Stop letting errors slip by. Let Tompkins Ventures help you uncover hidden savings. Your bottom line will thank you.
