Freight Audit and Payment

Our solution has earned a place in the 2025 FedEx Certified FBAP program. This program recognizes Freight Bill, Audit, and Pay Providers (FBAP) that have consistently met the high internal standards and analytics that FedEx sets for receiving invoices electronically, processing, and remitting payment details, and managing disputes on behalf of customers.

Although FedEx works with many Freight Bill, Audit, and Pay providers, not all providers have demonstrated their ability to effectively provide freight bill, audit, and payment services to their customers in accordance with FedEx standards.

What are the challenges?

Inaccurate invoicing and overpayments: Manual processing of transportation invoices is error-prone and often leads to discrepancies and overcharges, while complex carrier contracts make it virtually impossible to manually audit transportation spending. This often leads to overpayments, compliance issues and operational risk.
Transportation performance: Many businesses don’t have sufficient visibility into the actual performance and efficiency of their current transportation operation. Related data is often scattered across multiple systems and not normalized, delayed reporting prevents timely insights and limited visibility into transportation cost makes it difficult to manage budgets effectively.
Carrier sourcing: Sourcing favorable agreements from carriers is often challenging for operations and finance teams. Selecting the best mix of carriers, transportation modes, capacity and rates is a complex task, and customers may lack the necessary in-house expertise.
Sustainability regulations: Government-enforced sustainability regulations have intensified, leading to an increased emphasis on sustainable business practices. This shift is driven by growing consumer expectations for environmentally responsible operations. As a result, businesses need to provide more comprehensive carbon emission reports.
Outdated FAP services: Core Freight Audit and Payment (FAP) services have remained unchanged over the last decade. However, the value of transportation data and the insights it provides have become increasingly important for transportation leaders to improve operations and reduce costs.
Freight bill payment: The resources needed to handle invoices internally are high. Freight auditing can help your bottom line by cutting unnecessary labor costs. A 3PL can catch errors and manage payments to your carriers at 5 - 10% of the internal cost, eliminating the stress involved to ensure you’re paying the correct amount for your shipments.

What are the benefits?

Value-added Freight Audit Payment (FAP) is designed to help shippers reduce their total transportation spend across all types of freight. Unlike traditional FAP, it also drives improvements throughout transportation operations and reduces complexity.

Our FAP solutions also include Transportation Spend Consulting (TSC) that enables long-term, strategic optimization of transportation networks and costs – all aimed at strengthening carrier relationships, improving delivery performance and enhancing customer experiences.

With FAP, we can simplify the management of transportation spend, streamline financial complexity, reduce operational risk and maximize technology investments in your supply chain operations.
