02 Jan FBAP Services – Save Money with SSI Custom Freight Bill Audit and Payment
SSI provides freight bill audit and payment (FBAP) services for a wide range of business leaders on a global scale. Some of our customers save tens-of-thousands of dollars every month. Big savings such as this are made possible because we carefully customize our FBAP operations to meet each customer’s unique supply chain and transportation needs.
If you are dissatisfied with your current FBAP provider, or if you are handling freight audits and payments in house, we encourage you to switch to SSI. You’ll be glad you did!
Carrier billing errors are more common than you may realize. Our automated process identifies every billing mistake and we immediately take exception to erroneous charges. We only pay what you actually owe, which provides you with a continuous flow of savings to boost your bottom line.
Our convenient freight-bill payment service not only saves you time and money, it also enhances your “shipper of choice” status. Why? Because carriers prefer to work with customers who pay their bills on time and in the appropriate currency.
For international freight payments, we utilize a modern fintech platform. Our foreign-currency payment process enables us to pay freight invoices on your behalf in 100+ currencies, at favorable exchange rates.
Further, our data analytics team will help you improve your shipping and supply chain decision-making by customizing data visualization dashboards with measurements and metrics relevant to your key performance indicators.
