How Accurate Are Your Freight Invoices? Save with Freight Audits
Tired of grappling with the complexities of transportation bill payment? Do you even have the systems in place to know whether those bills are accurate? Did you know that at least 5-10% of invoices are billed incorrectly each year?
The Tompkins Ventures network includes Partners who specialize in streamlining, pre-auditing and post-auditing bill payment processes – savings that can range from 3% to 40% of your transportation costs, numbers that can easily reach 6 or 7 figures annually.
“Bill payment is an expensive chore, particularly with international and domestic freight and parcel billing. A professional freight audit & payment service can unsnarl the convoluted trail of invoices, shipping manifests, receipts, rate tariffs and more. Since 5%-10% of invoices are billed incorrectly, your savings could be very, very worthwhile. (I have seen 40%.)”
Your Problem: A Convoluted Trail to Follow
The intricate nature of international and domestic freight and parcel billing makes it difficult and time-consuming to audit invoices, identify errors and control costs. Your staff must grapple with duplicate invoices, overpayments, rate errors, freight billing errors, excess detention charges, unapproved and uncontracted supplemental and accessorial charges, and spot quote payments on lanes where you have contracted prices – and those are just a few of the potential issues.
Your Solution: Payment/Pre-auditing, Post-auditing
Tompkins Ventures understands these pain points and can connect you with two comprehensive solutions to address the challenges of transportation bill payment: a pre-audit and payment service and a post-audit service.
Preaudit and payment meticulously examines all invoices upfront, ensuring their accuracy and handling bill payments on your behalf. This service not only saves you time and effort but also minimizes the risk of overpaying or missing billing errors.
Additionally, our Partners’ risk-free, contingency-based post-audit service acts as an additional safety net – your enterprise and our service share savings from any errors discovered. Tompkins Ventures helps you regain control over your bill payment procedures and enjoy peace of mind knowing that experts are overseeing the auditing process.
