The Hidden Cost of Unmanaged Freight Invoices
For manufacturers and distributors shipping at volume, freight billing is a persistent operational problem. Carrier invoices arrive in bulk, in varying formats, often with errors. Without a disciplined audit process, the result is predictable:
- Overcharges go unnoticed and unpaid disputes accumulate
- Finance teams spend hours on manual reconciliation
- G/L coding is inconsistent across shipments and carriers
- Leadership lacks the freight cost visibility needed to manage spend
- The monthly close becomes harder than it needs to be

Frequently Asked Questions
Our clients describe us as an extension of their team. They value the consistency, the accountability, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their freight is handled properly. Here is what they have to say:
Freight bill auditing is the process of reviewing carrier invoices before payment to verify that charges are accurate, rates match contracted terms, and no duplicate or erroneous charges are included. It matters because carrier billing errors are common. Without an audit process, companies routinely overpay on freight with no visibility into where the overcharges occur. A thorough audit catches these errors before money leaves the company.
FPI audits all major freight and shipping types, including LTL, truckload, volume freight, small parcel, air, ocean, domestic ground, full container, and less-than-container international shipments. Audit is conducted across all carriers and all pricing structures on a single global platform.
Freight audit software automates portions of the invoice review process but typically returns exceptions to the client for resolution. FPI provides a fully managed service: the audit, the payment, the exception resolution, and the reporting are all handled by a dedicated team. Clients receive clean data and resolved exceptions, not a queue of disputes to manage internally.
Yes. FPI supports EDI transaction sets, non-standard data formats, and electronic data interchange to fit within existing accounting and logistics technology environments. G/L coding is customized to match your chart of accounts, and reporting outputs are structured to support your internal processes.
No. While FPI operates as an affiliate of Land-Link Traffic Systems and frequently serves companies that also use Land-Link for freight management, FPI's audit and payment services are available independently. Companies that manage freight internally or use other logistics providers can still engage FPI for freight bill audit, payment, and data services.
