Combine Freight Audit with TMS in a Single Platform Customized to You

Freight Pay + TMS

The Value of Combining Them on One Platform

Increase the value of the Freight Audit process.

Leveraging a single firm for both Freight Pay and Transportation Management System means a tool customized to your needs, a more integral process for validating and enriching data, and smooth implementation.

Contract experience is required to negotiate better LTL rate contracts.

This TMS is Native

Because our world-class TMS was developed entirely in-house, we can create any customizations a customer needs without consulting a 3rd party for approval.

Modeling capacity lets you choose a better tariff year and negotiate an optimal FAK rate structure.

Bundle Adds Value

Putting freight pay and TMS on a single platform enables real-time integration of data and visibility across the entire shipment life cycle from order entry to carrier payment..

Benchmarking industry, shipment type, and customer volume allows more effective LTL rate negotiation.

Deploy Easily

Most of the data needed to implement TMS is identical to that for Freight Pay. If you're an existing Freight Pay customer, we already have 85% of what we need.

It's an Ecosystem

Our end-to-end capability means your data lives in one system, talks easily with other integrations, & provides total visibility for a seamless supply chain toolset.

“Combining TMS with freight audit consistently saves shippers an average of 8-12% over freight audit savings alone. Freight audit tells you what happened; adding TMS gives you control of your supply chain.”

Josh Miller, VP of Sales

The Logistics Ecosystem of CTSI-Global means greater capacity for your firm.

Without a Fully-Integrated TMS

You realize only a portion of the value of freight audit.

CONTROL: Enhanced Cost Allocation Capabilities

Gain more flexibility and control over the process:

  • Enhance GL coding capabilities by capturing additional information at the time of shipment.
  • Create dynamic on-demand accrual reporting including orders shipped, not invoiced, and invoiced-not paid.
  • Leverage CTSI’s inbound vendor portal to standardize data capture and visibility to inbound shipments.
  • Allocate freight costs at the PO and SKU level.
VISIBILITY: Enhanced Reporting

Spot ways to optimize process to save time and/or money:

  • Upgrade reporting capabilities to include KPI’s on the entire life cycle of the order.
  • Cost to Serve reporting – how much does it cost to service your customers
  • Integrate shipment in-transit tracking information to drive invoice approvals and carrier performance reporting.
PROCESS IMPROVEMENT: Fewer Exceptions

Do less work, and lower costs. Improve on-time payments, and reduce late fees.

  • Reduce back end freight invoice exceptions by putting data validations in place at the time of shipment.
  • Identify opportunities for improvement in the shipping process by leveraging ‘expected vs actual cost reporting’.
  • Seamlessly integrate spot quotes used for auditing invoices.

Your Data Has a Home. Your Firm Has One Version of the Truth.

FAP + TMS Briefing

COMPARE US: to providers who cluster around a single domain of operation and repackage third-party services under the banner of a seamless solution. CTSI-Global developed its TMS capability in-house in 2006 with Freight Pay customers in mind. Since then, we've continually enhanced the product specifically through collecting customer feedback. We don't resell or white-label the tool, and that lets us adapt it exactly as you need.

LTL Negotiations: Let CTSI-Global Get You a Better Rate Structure

LTL Negotiations

Leverage Experience and Information

Use our experience, relationships, business intelligence and benchmarks.

The keys to better market pricing are our experience with historical patterns, LTL contracts, and carrier capabilities; our rating and modeling app for scenario analysis; and benchmarks across our diverse customer base.

Contract experience is required to negotiate better LTL rate contracts.

Reason 1: Our Contract Experience

LTL contracts are complex. Each carrier tariff is built to favor their network. And when you choose a tariff year on which to negotiate, they adjust their discount to compensate. This is where our experience shines.

Modeling capacity lets you choose a better tariff year and negotiate an optimal FAK rate structure.

Reason 2: Our Modeling Capacity

We run real world scenarios on your most common hauls and apply those to a pricing matrix to understand your optimal tariff year, discount level, and FAK structure.

Benchmarking industry, shipment type, and customer volume allows more effective LTL rate negotiation.

Reason 3: Benchmarked Negotiation

Sophisticated industry benchmarking lets us commonly negotiate lower classes of pricing based on the FAK structure. Hauls then rate at a less expensive class.

Do the math on LTL rate negotations.
