Are you juggling a growing volume of shipments and tired of worrying about whether you paid the right amount? You’re not alone. Many logistics professionals in manufacturing and distribution wear multiple hats – from inventory to customer service – and freight billing can become a time sink. MyFreightAudit is here to make that part of your job easy.
Each year, TLI’s comprehensive freight invoice audit program processes over $236 million in freight spend, delivering accuracy, compliance, and cost recovery for shippers across many modes of transportation. Think of us as an extension of your finance team: we take on the complex freight bill auditing and payment tasks so you can get back to what you do best.
With our freight audit and payment solution, you no longer need to spend hours cross-checking carrier invoices. Instead, our simple cloud portal and support team handle it all. When a shipment is delivered, the carrier sends the invoice to us. Our system immediately checks it against the agreed rate. If everything matches, we approve the invoice and include it on your monthly statement. If something looks off, one of our freight experts jumps in to fix it – whether that means disputing a misclassification or explaining a fuel surcharge change. You’ll only see one clear, audited invoice to pay, and that’s it.
Why Shippers Love Our Service
- Visibility and Transparency: Using MyFreightAudit gives you full visibility into your freight spending KPIs. Our solution can integrate into Microsoft PowerBI dashboards which show billing details by location or department. You can easily see which products or shipments had the highest costs, helping you make strategic decisions. We even provide compliance reports that highlight any charge types that occur most often (like liftgate or residential fees), along with how inbound vendors are performing with least cost provider selection so you can adjust processes or negotiate better with carriers.
- Saves Your Team Time: Auditing freight invoices is tedious and prone to human error. Instead of pulling people off projects to examine bills, let our automated tools do the first pass. The system flags only the exceptions that truly need attention. Our friendly experts then handle those exceptions. The result? You save countless person-hours and get consistent, professional handling of any disputes.
- Pay Accurate Charges Only: We guarantee you’ll never overpay a freight bill. Carriers do make mistakes – a class change here, a reweigh there, or a duplicate charge by accident. We catch those before you write a check. In fact, before any invoice leaves our office, it has been thoroughly audited. If a charge is wrong, we remove or correct it. If it’s right, we document why. You get to see the difference before you pay.
- Strategic Partnership: We know you want to look good internally. MyFreightAudit’s goal is to make your logistics data easy to optimize and scale. When we lower your shipping costs and streamline processes, you look like a hero to upper management. As one of our clients put it, “They do the hard work in the background, and I get to show big savings reports at meetings.”
- Easy Onboarding: Getting started with MyFreightAudit is simple. We’ll set up your profile and integrate with your carriers. There’s no need for a big IT project on your side. Many customers start seeing results in the first month. And because we’re part of TLI, we can even help set up shipments in our system if you also use our freight brokerage services (so our audit has all the right data from Day 1).
How Freight Invoice Auditing Works (Shipper Friendly Guide)
- Sign Up: We create your secure MyFreightAudit account and link it to your carrier invoices.
- We Do the Work: From day one, incoming freight invoices flow into our system via EDI/API integration. Our software automatically checks them against your rates.
- You Relax: Any invoice issues are handled by us. The system will flag shipments that were billed beyond acceptable freight rate tolerance. You’ll receive notifications in your account when actions are taken (like a dispute filed or resolved).
- Monthly Invoicing: Each month, you get a neat summary invoice listing only the verified charges. It’s ready to pay – no headaches or hidden costs.
Imagine not having to think about freight bills. Likewise, imagine automated GL coding. That’s the future with MyFreightAudit’s audit and payment solution. We combine friendly, personalized service with the latest technology so your shipments always land on the right side of the balance sheet.
MyFreightAudit FAQ
Who will do our work? MyFreightAudit’s team becomes an extension of your accounting department. We assign you an account manager and audit specialists who understand your business. Feel free to reach out with questions anytime, but rest assured—we automatically handle routine billing issues behind the scenes.
Will we have to change carriers? Not at all. You keep using the same freight carriers and contracts. We simply audit whatever invoices they send you. In fact, if you ship with many carriers, our system centralizes everything, so you get one statement from us instead of dozens.
How do you save us money? By catching errors. For example, a carrier might use an incorrect freight class on a shipment. Our system spots that immediately. We’ll ask the carrier to reclassify it correctly, saving you what could be thousands on a single shipment. Multiply that by many shipments, and you see big savings. Plus, our reports often reveal trends – like if a particular route is costing more than it should, giving you leverage to negotiate or reroute.
Can we access our data? Yes! Log into our portal anytime. You can view audited invoices, see charge details, download reports, and even get proofs of delivery. Everything is there at your fingertips – no more email back-and-forth chasing documents. We securely archive all data for seven years.
Is this secure and reliable? Absolutely. MyFreightAudit uses industry-standard security. TLI’s infrastructure has supported critical supply chain operations since 1994, and it powers everything we do. Your data is in safe hands, and our team is here to support you every step of the way!
