Despite all of the noise and hoopla to the contrary – invoicing processes for the air and ocean freight industries are still largely a manual proposition for most service providers. Manual processes are error prone and, more often than not, there’s a good chance that the next invoice you look at will be wrong.
Most shippers perform their audits post payment which, while better than no audit at all, is expensive, and provides limited feedback to the provider to fix the problem & minimize future mistakes. It also ties up your capital for months while you try to get your money back.
There’s a better way – CubeCentral™.
The CubeCentral™ Audit Manager is a comprehensive toolset that will electronically audit your freight invoices and communicate (automatically) any/all discrepancies back to the applicable provider for corrective action – while the freight is still on the water and your money is still in your pocket.
Audit Manager extends beyond the audit of the charges – to help you close the loop on your transactions by validating the shipments link to valid Purchase Orders & SKU’s and facilitating settlement by allocating the audited charges to the underlying shipment detail.
Rate/Contract Management is not the end – it’s just the beginning.
