Freight Audit Benefits
1. Visibility
We resolve any difficulties in visibility and provide a clear picture of your company’s logistics. Thanks to our Freight Audit solutions, you will have precise data about: the nature and placement of any exceptions/issues you may have; how many spot carriers or special equipment were used during a certain time frame; how many carriers are used per site; whether carriers deliver on time; when the regular rates are not applied, etc.
2. Actionable data
The data from our audit processes allows you to truly optimize your logistics set-up. Clear, precise logistics data allows you to change the order behaviours of customers; enhance carrier selection based on rate understanding; use the freight data for better tendering; reduce your overall carrier base and much more.
3. Rate structures
Thanks to our deep logistical experience, Van der Meer transport & logistics consultancy streamlines and clarifies logistical data for the client’s benefit. For example, rate cards often lack clear instructions on rules for weight and currency conversion, calculation, rounding and (last but not least) consolidation of shipments. These can be harmonized across the carrier base. As such, our services can reduce accessorial names and provide a better overall structure.
