Smart ways to cut your freight costs 

Comparing every line of every invoice is simply too hard - if you're doing it manually.

  • It’s a staff resource hungry activity: checking a single invoice can take as much as 15 minutes or more
  • Even when checked, you can’t be sure all the errors have been picked up
  • Forwarders are not always very forthcoming when it comes to credits or rebates

Do any of these possible solutions look familiar?
We just assume that whatever is on the invoice as being correct.
In our experience, about 50% of invoices contain errors.
Our staff do spot checks - we don't find any significant errors.
The trouble is, really big errors occur only occasionally. So chances are that a random spot check will miss any significant errors.
We kept a close eye on our freight forwarder for a while. They had a lot of errors early on but now they're ok, so we don't bother any more.
But when the forwarder changes systems or staff, accuracy can be adversely affected. If you’re not keeping up with your invoice checking, you could be caught out.

If you're not checking every invoice, there's a good chance you're leting overcharges get away from you.
