FAQs

A freight post audit is a comprehensive historical and go forward analysis after payment to your Carriers.  A post audit compliments your current process whether internal or outsourced to a freight audit and payment provider or other partner(s).  ConData conducts a deep dive into contract terms and rates, payment detail and shipment/invoice data-every element of the final freight bill.

Freight vendors make a lot of errors and most of those errors are not in your favor. Having a freight post audit in place provides a highly effective way to discover key metrics concerning your freight spend and processes.  The average recovery on freight post payment and billing errors ranges from 1% to 5% of your total freight spend.

ConData’s focus is on maximizing net recoveries.  To perform a comprehensive post audit, ConData requires a copy of all Carrier contracts and rates as well as payment and shipment/invoice data.
