Transportation Analysis

The first step in designing a service plan for our clients is to analyze the system in place.  We start by asking you for 3 months of your current bills to make and analysis.  If these 3 months are not your busiest time, then we need 3 months of bills from months that have heavy shipping and receiving.  Using your busiest three-month billing history, we will identify your shipping needs, discounts currently in place with Carriers, freight classifications used, and ancillary information about your company that will help us set up a cost-effective plan to begin saving you money.  The TMC Transportation Analysis includes:

• An audit of your past and current Bills of Lading to assess accuracy of shipping descriptions, freight classifications, and correct charges

• An analysis of your process for creating bills and assigning billing values

• An analysis of your process for classifying freight

• An assessment of current discount agreements with Carriers

• An audit of fuel surcharges on your bills

• An evaluation of Carrier costs and services to meet your shipping needs

Upon completion of the TMC Transportation Analysis, we will provide you with a written service plan that targets the areas to be improved in your current system, as well as provides recommendations for system changes that will permanently ensure future cost effectiveness and reduction of errors.

• Our Pre-Audit System will begin to save you money immediately by correcting errors in billing before you pay.

• Our knowledge of Carrier discounts, established relationships with all types of Carriers, and negotiation know-how will get you better discounts than you currently have.

• Our knowledge of Freight Classification will assure that you are utilizing the opportunities available to you to maximize savings.

• Our skills at negotiation will aid you in accessing the right Carriers for your needs.
