Immediate Benefits of Implementing FA&P

Manufacturers and distributors deal with mountains of paperwork, which slows business flow and drains resources. Whether you’re a CFO, Controller, or even Accounting Supervisor, you understand the value of time in an industry which depends upon it. Using freight audit and pay contractors like The FSL Group streamlines your invoice review and payment process.

You may be wondering why you need an FA&P contractor when most carriers manage billing contracts on their side. Unfortunately, carriers make mistakes. While this is usually a minor miscalculation – it could be something as drastic as a duplicate invoice. Your team is then tasked with sorting through these documents to ensure everything looks correct before settling. If something is missed and an account goes unsettled, carriers bypass the responsible party to get paid.

If your company ships more than 50 loads per week, working with an FA&P contractor could drastically improve your billing and payment process.

  • No More Confusing Contracts – The FSL Group has years of experience decoding the jargon involved in freight invoicing. This saves time struggling to understand carrier contracts.
  • Detailed Reports – As your freight audit invoice service works through invoices, we batch them and create a detailed report of each batch. This keeps you informed of everything coming in and going out.
  • Space Saver – At The FSL Group, we file electronically, removing the paper storing component from your invoice payment system. More space and less clutter.
  • Money Saved on Duplicate Invoices – Paying duplicate invoices costs freight companies an additional 10% to 12%. Freight audit companies catch these discrepancies before they’re mistakenly paid twice.
  • Based in the U.S. – For North American freight, there are a distinct set of guidelines which must be followed. Working with an American-based company guarantees these standards are followed.
  • Meet Payment Terms – FA&P companies like the FSL group process invoices on time so payments are never late. We also age carrier payables so they aren’t paid too early. This saves money in late fees and other penalties.
  • The Newest Technology – Our consultants use the latest invoicing technology available. We’re constantly updating our resources, meaning you don’t have to spend money updating yours.
  • Free Accounting Resources – For a freight company, having the finance department’s hands tied on tedious tasks means more important jobs are left at the wayside. Working with an FA&P team ensures accounts payable employees can focus on more valuable assignments.
  • Eliminate Future Billing Problems – We work closely with your carriers to ensure billing mistakes aren’t repeated, and future invoicing becomes easier.
