| Why
we don't pay freight invoices.
The same transactions we import
are easily exported back to your company's A/P system,
providing you with ABSOLUTE control over how your money
is used. This process ensures that your company's money
is not mismanaged or even worse, misappropriated. If you
are currently using an agent to pay your freight bills,
you should consider the legal consequences should they
become insolvent. Because freight-payment
companies are agents of the shipper, the shipper's
payment obligation is met only when the carriers
actually receive the funds. If you use an agent to pay
your freight bills, you are still exposed. This has been
proven in the courts over and over, yet companies still
continue the practice
Why pay for an
outside freight audit when my company can do it
internally?
When trying to compare the cost
of out-sourcing against internal processes,
consideration must be given to the components of any
service. Many companies lack one or more of the required
components to perform an accurate service. InFreight
specializes in freight audit, so all the components are
covered.
How is InFreight
Logistics different from others?
Many companies offer pre-audit
or pre-audit and pay services based on commission or
contingency fees. There are varied ways to offer this
fee structure...
- BASED ON SAVINGS
The greater the savings, the
greater the commission. This can be a very complicated
structure. Although this would appear to provide
incentive for savings, care must be taken to clarify
savings! Also, contingencies must be considered for
savings that are disputed by the carrier. Will you get
a refund for this?
- BASED ON GROSS BILLINGS
The greater the billings, the
greater the commission. This provides absolutely no
incentive to reduce your freight costs.
