Services
Freight Audit
Our freight audit service systematically verifies logistics invoices against contractual agreements, shipment data, and carrier rate cards. Using proprietary RateTrak software, we detect overcharges, duplicate billings, and currency discrepancies across all transport modes. This 3-way match process ensures compliance while recovering historical overpayments through post-audit claims management.
Payment Management
We handle international carrier payments in 76 currencies across 130+ countries, leveraging HSBC partnerships to reduce banking fees. Our system validates supplier account details, automates payment schedules, and provides consolidated reporting. This service eliminates manual processing errors while maintaining strict financial controls and audit trails.
Business Intelligence
Our BI platform transforms logistics data into actionable insights through custom dashboards. Clients gain visibility into freight costs, carrier performance, and trade lane efficiencies. Real-time benchmarking compares current rates against live billed data, enabling strategic decision-making for cost optimisation and supply chain improvements.
Carrier Management
We manage relationships with 16,000+ carriers globally through automated EDI connectivity. Our system validates carrier credentials, monitors service levels, and facilitates electronic invoicing. This streamlines communication, reduces processing times, and ensures consistent application of contractual terms across all transportation providers.
cTMS Integration
Our proprietary cTMS platform offers end-to-end supply chain visibility. It connects with client ERPs for real-time cost tracking, automates GL coding, and enables rate comparisons across carriers. The system supports shipment booking, self-billing, and performance monitoring, creating a unified solution for managing global transportation operations.
