Our comprehensive audit and freight payment function is provided as a combined service by ICC, relieving our clients from performing these functions in-house, a service that continues to bring significant cost-savings benefits to our clients.

As transportation and distribution expenses take a larger bite out of each sales dollar, most corporations take advantage of the automated freight bill pre-audit and payment system. Old-fashioned methods of auditing and paying freight bills are no longer acceptable in today's fast moving, deregulated environment.

Freight invoices are unlike any other payable item. Ask yourself these questionsà

Has the shipment been classified properly?

Is the shipment being charged at the lowest possible rate?

Is the shipment discounted properly?

Is your company responsible for the freight charges billed?

Is your freight allocated to specific general ledger codes or financial cost centers?

Is it managed properly?

All of these questions cannot be answered properly unless your company maintains a complete tariff and contract library of ALL the carriers your company does business with. In addition, those responsible for auditing the freight bills must have the technical know-how to seek out the lowest rates and charges from those tariffs and contracts.

By outsourcing the freight bill pre-audit and integrated payment function to ICC, your company can achieve the following benefits:

© Service Expertise: Our expertise, systems and procedures, which are among the most efficient and technical pre-audit services available today, eliminate the need for your company to acquire, manage and maintain these requirements.

© Auditing expertise: Last year alone, ICC contributed over $2.5MM to our clients' bottom line in the pre-audit area alone.

© Conservation of capital and reduction of costs: Our overall charges to provide the pre-audit and payment function to your company will be far less than your fully allocated internal costs. The savings can be invested in equipment and services to enhance your primary business.
