Freight Audit and Payment

Many companies are losing money paying unnecessary charges on their freight bills and using inefficient processes.

 

Are you paying higher transportation rates than necessary that impact the bottom line?

 

myShipINFO® powers Körber’s freight audit and payment solution. With business intelligence purpose-built for transportation teams, this proprietary cloud-based software transforms data into actionable intelligence. The solution helps shippers optimize and improve their complex supply chain operations across all modes of transportation – to and from any location across the globe, in any currency or language, so they can deliver on time.

 

Finance professionals will have access to myShipINFO® for purpose-built business intelligence and accurate, real-time transportation data from (ERP, OMS, TMS, WMS) within a single portal to make informed decisions. The Körber team of experts transforms that data into actionable business intelligence that you can use to easily improve your operations.

Körber will audit every detail of the freight bill invoice, comparing the actual rates and accessorial charges billed to you with the rates in your tariff(s) on all domestic and international freight shipments. Our audit solution utilizes a call center to maximize parcel credits, which helps you receive 30 percent of credits that are denied by other carriers’ automated systems. Körber is uniquely able to deliver optimal client results through an auditing team with decades of experience.

 

We audit over 5,000 carriers, all modes of transportation, transact stable currencies and translate 14 languages in 100+ countries in myShipINFO® to provide our clients comprehensive global coverage.

Nathan Remaly
VP, Logistics, Zones Inc.

As our business grew exponentially in volume and complexity, we needed a partner who truly understood the details of carrier agreements and was able to translate it into simple rate structures that we understood. This is where Körber came in. They have exceeded their promised ROI and saved us materially more in shipping costs than had we dealt with the carriers on our own. Specifically, they helped us navigate a multi-carrier strategy for parcel shipping with negotiated minimums allowing us to have our cake and eat it too. If you don't have time to decipher the purposefully dense contracts from carriers and need to reduce your transportation spend, partner with Körber
