Why Freight Payment Centers

With a high volume, auditing freight payment invoices can be a complicated process. It may be too much to handle for an internal accounts payable team. This is why corporations depend on 3rd party freight payment centers to assist with this tedious task. It ensures that invoices are processed and paid in a timely manner.

There are several things that can go wrong with an invoice. Rates could be incorrect, spot quotes submitted without the support documentations, duplicate invoice submittals or the wrong type of invoice submitted. Example custom/duties paid by a deferment account is sent to a freight payment center.

Using freight payment centers can eliminate payment errors by using rate engines that warehouse carriers’ contracts in a centralized repository. Location logic is used to ensure invoices are cost allocated correctly.

After invoices reach good bill and are paid, freight payment centers can provide an accurate account on rate discrepancies, invoices paid in full or short-paid. Have access to a repository of invoices to be reviewed at any time. Reports can also be generated to make available all types of data (on-time payments, first pass yield, carrier late submittals).

In conclusion, it is important to understand the value that freight payment centers have as it relates to logistics. If you have any specific questions about freight payment centers reach out to us at sales@allynintl.com
