What it is

AFS Freight Audit and Payment is a managed web service for reviewing transportation charges, settling payments and helping shippers reclaim lost profits. Its checks can happen before and after payment, with pricing tolerances set in collaboration with each client. AFS checks rates and duplicate charges, resolves claims and un-contracted carriers, settles payments and assigns GL codes. It also analyzes shipping and billing data for logistics decisions, while giving clients tools to monitor and validate the work. AFSmartAudit adds configurable no-code business rules, detailed freight reports, real-time documents and automatic notifications. Invoices can be submitted electronically through EDI or eSubmit; payment methods include ACH and wire transfer. AFS reports a 20% average invoice error rate and recovered savings of up to 8%, figures it publishes rather than guarantees. The service is delivered with client guidance. AFS was founded in 1982 and says it serves over 1,800 customers across 35+ countries. Pricing is on request.
