Load Planning and Dispatch
Using the Shipment Optimization and reporting capabilities of our Activeship-TMS technology, shipment coordinators oversee daily operations and are accountable for the cost-efficient movement of freight to meet on-time requirements, and provide customized client reports required.
Freight Bill Audit
Automated freight bill audit functionality insures that clients are paying the correct amount on each shipment or group of shipments. Freight charges are matched to tariffs maintained in our database, variances are identified, and manual audit conducted when required. Accessorial charges are managed based on rules established by the client, and areas of potential saving identified.
Freight Bill Payment Services
As an extension of our freight bill audit services, our freight payment system eliminates the need for the entry and processing of valid payments to service providers. The system matches invoices to transactions identified and validated by the client, and makes payments accordingly. Integration with client accounting systems ensures accuracy and timely reporting of transportation related expenditures.
