The Challenge

Before partnering with Intelligent Audit (IA), A high-volume North American manufacturer struggled to manage their rapidly growing and complex freight spend. With a large number of carriers and invoices each month, the team faced several operational hurdles:

["Complex freight oversight", "Heavy manual workload", "Delayed carrier payments due to inefficient processes", "Inconsistent invoice reviews, increasing risk of errors", "Limited visibility into freight spend drivers"]

The Solution

Intelligent Audit implemented a fully managed Freight Audit & Pay program, assuming responsibility for invoice validation, dispute management, and carrier payments.

["Automated invoice validation across a network of 100+ carriers", "Centralized carrier payments to streamline financial operations", "Improved freight spend visibility with consolidated reporting and insights"]

Even beyond hard dollar savings, we see continuous value in our partnership with Intelligent Audit.
