Why your company needs a freight cost management system
Rising transportation costs, non-transparent carrier tariffs, incorrect invoices – are you familiar with this? For many companies that send numerous parcels every day, shipping costs are an inscrutable cost block. The potential for optimization often remains hidden.
The problem: shipping costs often creep into the balance sheet unnoticed as hidden profit killers. Without a professional system, it is difficult to maintain an overview, compare rates or identify incorrect invoicing. This is exactly where a freight cost management system comes in.
A freight cost management system is a specialized software solution that supports companies in making their transport costs transparent, monitoring and optimizing them. It automates the recording and checking of freight invoices, compares carrier tariffs and uncovers errors or discrepancies. In this way, an FMS enables efficient cost control, prevents overpayments and helps to reduce logistics costs in the long term.
Why do you need a freight cost management system?
A freight cost management system is always important when:
- Your shipping volume is growing – and with it the complexity of rates and invoices.
- You work with several parcel service providers (carriers) – each with their own price lists, surcharges and special regulations.
- You suspect that there is potential for savings, but there is a lack of transparency.
- Incorrect invoicing leads to complaints and annoyance, which costs a lot of time.
- You want your calculations for products and shipping processes to be more reliable.
In short, if shipping is relevant to your business, it’s worth taking a look at professional freight cost management.
