Some questions to where the answer u0022yes, of courseu0022 seems quite obvious. However, practice shows that the answer often is u0022nou0022; the order is incomplete or the freight bill has the billing address on it instead of the physical delivery address and what about various additional charges which are not discussed beforehand and afterwards turn out to be billed? To retrieve the correct data or challenging bills takes a lot of time and energy and ultimately results in disproportionate costs compared to revenues.

Geraedts Business Experts has the right resources to quickly and expertly analyze the information given or missing from the various documents so that you get control and specific insight into where and how improvements can be implemented in order to reduce cost, time and energy to a minimum.

Moreover, with our analysis we catch much more useful information than just the standard information such as bills that may or may not comply with orders and/or waybills. The additional information that is ‘captured’ is analyzed by means of measurements on the main features of your logistics network and contributes positively in identifying optimization initiatives. Think e.g. of understanding (at various levels) of:

•   Average shipment sizes

•   Product-segmentation

•   Center of gravity

•   Incomes

•   Additional costs

Freight Bill Auditing

We validate the information for each document and can thus provide detailed insight into missing, incorrect or obsolete information. This results e.g. in general issues whereby the implementation of a relatively simple modification to systems or processes is often enough to eliminate a lot of extra work or it can result in customer specific concerns whereby the joint set up of an improvement plan will soonest lead to efficiency and so result in cost savings on both sides of the chain.

Invoice Auditing

Based on the legally permitted time frame within which erroneous billings may be corrected, our experts can quickly and thoroughly validate whether the invoices versus the orders / bills shows anomalies with respect to:

•   Wrong rates

•   Deviating volumes

•   Double invoicing

•   Additional costs and/or surcharges

Since these audits are carried out on information from previous handled shipments the operational and daily course of business is not disturbed and the improvements necessary to implement are summarized and limited to one-time optimizations. It goes without saying that also here we are at your side to assist and advise.
