Freight Invoice Management

FREIGHT INVOICE PROCESSING IS NOW EASIER THAN EVER

At Trans International, we are dedicated to perfecting the freight invoice process to ensure you are not surprised by freight charge mistakes and you pay only what you are supposed to. Utilizing in-house freight invoice management can be stressful, complicated, and costly. Inefficient use of data or lack of data visibility can lead to late payments and increase your freight spend.

OUR FREIGHT INVOICE PROCESS

Our tried-and-true invoicing process has been tweaked and refined to deliver the most streamlined experience possible. This allows us to identify any billing mistakes while also ensuring that all necessary payments are made on time. We meticulously look over every detail throughout the process and have invoices visible online within three hours (on average). Our proprietary process involves six key steps:

1. Trans International receives the invoice from the handler
2. The invoice is captured electronically (EDI) or entered manually (paper invoice) and verified by our team of experts
3. Payments are then automatically audited and rated
4. General ledger numbers are applied thru the Automated Ledger system
5. Invoices are submitted for payment
6. Carriers are then paid to round out the process
