Transportation Spend Risk Management
5% to 15% of Transportation Spend is Lost in Hidden Risks and Costs
$600 BILLION FREIGHT SPEND
Is roughly the total amount paid for freight services by shippers annually in the United States and Canada. Anywhere from 5% to 15% of this amount is a potential financial risk ($30B to $90B)
$154 MILLION HIDDEN AT RETAILER
In November 2024 a retailer had to restate their financials after hidden freight expenses were discovered. This represents only a fraction of 1% of the potential risk facing companies, aka tip of the iceberg
HIDDEN RISKS AND COSTS
ACCESSORIAL
CHARGES
Significant time and resources are required to track accessorials and resolve disputes (by both the shipper and carrier)
OVERPAYMENTS
LATE PAYMENTS
Carriers apply additional charges resulting in overpayments by the shipper. Delays in reconciling invoices causes late payments to the carrier.
FINANCIAL
INACCURACY
With inaccurate invoices at delivery, G/L coding and accruals are subject to delays in updates and reporting.
TOLERANCES &
THRESHOLDS
To make payments on time, shippers apply thresholds or tolerances to the invoice, incurring additional costs.
CANCELLED
SHIPMENTS
Without proper audit controls on parcel shipments that are cancelled, invoices may still be submitted and unduly paid.
COLLUSION
FRAUD
With disparate systems, and manual process reconciliation, any financial transaction or report is open to manipulation.
