Freight Payment and Pre-Audit
RateLinx provides a more flexible and powerful freight Payment and Pre-audit process than ever available anytime in the marketplace. RateLinx is able to create customer-specific business rules at every step during your Pre-Audit process. This allows us to utilize more than one client matching file, store an unlimited number of fields per freight bill (i.e. break down of your charges, order numbers, order types, etc.), provide a more accurate audit of your rates, and provide a more complete automatic general ledger coding system. What this means to the Shipper is that more of your freight bills can be received via EDI – which in turn lowers your pre-audit cost.
The Freight payment is then provided to the carrier on a customer-by-customer basis with no co-mingling of funds. We provide full visibility to the date the funds are released to the carrier so that you can see when the check or the EFT was performed with the carrier.
Your Freight Payment and Pre-Audit data are combined, providing you with nearly limitless reporting capabilities on your freight spend. The combined data is uploaded throughout the day to your RateLinx Freight Dashboard allowing for a near-real-time visibility to your actual freight spend any time you need it. This allows you to monitor your freight KPI’s, as they are changing throughout the day to further reduce and control costs in your operation. Your RateLinx dashboard also provides a very simple way to accept or deny freight bills that require resolution. For instance, whether or not a particular bill should be paid, or, inquiring about a general ledger code, etc. It’s your freight – and your costs – you should have visibility and control.
