What is a freight audit?

Invoice pre-audit is a critical part of any shipper’s spend control system. Our experience confirms that many of your freight invoices contain errors that can only be detected with a detailed audit of each shipment.

Invoice pre-audit is only way to stop overcharges & data inaccuracies before funds leave your bank account. An effective pre-audit is no simple task. VTM has developed a comprehensive system & team of experts that detect accuracy issues with your freight invoices.

VTM easily saves our clients 200-400% of their processing fees:

  • We use an advanced Rating System validate each invoice against your negotiated rates, service levels provided, and any accessorial charges billed.

  • Our teams of experts review the shipment documentation, study the product classifications & weights billed to identify savings and spot trends.

  • Complex data validations go beyond just checking the billed charges. Our audit also covers validating critical information like B/L Numbers, dates, quantities, locations & other pertinent fields based on your unique business rules.

  • Best in class data normalization ensures we encounter fewer exceptions & have the highest quality analytics.
