Freight Bill Audit
As carrier rate structures become more complex the possibility
of billing errors increase. Performing a true audit of the
freight bill involves comparing the bill information against the
actual shipping information. Having a skilled auditor who
knows what information is pertinent and what rates should apply
is key in capturing the savings available in this phase. Our
current average savings for this phase is $7.62 per bill. |
| Data Capture Capturing the right data from your freight bills is the basis
of the entire logistical process. Captures range from the
basic data elements that we recommend all the way to full
product detail and account coding. |

 |
Freight Payment When NCL pays the carriers it provides a significant time savings
to your organization. Your accounting department makes one
payment to NCL for the freight charges for the week and NCL disburses
the funds to the carriers. In the process the carriers are
notified with the reason why any bills were cut back. There
is also a full suite of web services to handle carriers
issue from past due inquiries to check remittances. |
Reporting Logistics managers, accounting departments and upper level management
have very different needs when it comes to reporting on your
freight spend. There is a time savings when your company
can quickly view an account code summary report or trends
by month. The
logistical reports let you look at your shipping habits and see
where there is room for improvement. |

Bid Negotiations Bid negotiations is the main source of savings on your freight
cost. NCL uses the
data we capture to create a clear, concise bid for the carriers. We
take the results and use our knowledge of the market place to make
sure you are getting the best service carriers for the lowest cost. |
Rating/Routing Once you have your core carriers from the bid, the next largest
area of savings is making sure you are using the right carrier
for each shipment. Our web Rating/Routing program gets you
the lowest cost carrier as well as
transit times and direct points. NCL's
compliance program insures that you know when the best carrier
was not used. |
