Freight accounting and finance teams, this one's for you: What's the most time-consuming, tedious task you're stuck with?
The task that takes up so much of your time you don't have the bandwidth for more important stuff (like controlling freight spend)?
If you said, "auditing invoices" you're not alone. That's the answer we hear most often.
Runners up are:
• Consolidating data into multiple spreadsheets
• Digging through paperwork
• Constantly bothering the shipping department for documents
• Spending days gathering data (if its available) to negotiate better carrier rates
That's why we had James Salay, MyCarrier Director of Special Projects, walk through the platform and explain in under 3 minutes how to:
• Audit invoices in seconds (without digging through BOLs)
• Quickly access W&I, RFP, and shipment costing reports
• Easily negotiate better carrier rates
Because a freight accounting team stuck doing manual, time-wasting tasks is one that doesn't have time to focus on what really matters to the company.
Having a central source of truth - a place where all teams involved in the shipping process can access the information they need, leads to an easier, more efficient process and a healthier bottom line.
