Freight Bill Auditing

Freight bill auditing is a meticulous process of examining and verifying freight bills to ensure accuracy and identify discrepancies. In the fast-paced world of logistics and shipping, errors in billing are not uncommon. These errors, if unchecked, can lead to significant financial losses for businesses. Recognizing the importance of accurate freight billing, Betachon offers specialized freight bill auditing services to safeguard businesses against overcharges and billing errors.

The Need for Freight Bill Auditing

Every business that relies on shipping services knows the complexities involved in freight billing. From weight discrepancies to incorrect rate applications, the potential for errors is vast. Some common errors include:

  • Duplicate billing: Being charged multiple times for a single shipment.
  • Incorrect rates: Application of outdated or wrong rate charts.
  • Unauthorized charges: Charges for services not requested or availed.

Such errors can accumulate over time, leading to inflated shipping costs that eat into a company’s profits. A single unnoticed error can set a precedent, leading to repeated mistakes in subsequent bills.

Consider this: A medium-sized business shipping 100 packages a day could be overcharged by $5 per package due to a minor rate discrepancy. This amounts to $500 a day or $182,500 annually!

This example underscores the financial impact of unchecked freight bills and the critical need for thorough auditing.
