Freight Audit Services - Hi TEK Canada
For many companies, the daily pressures of business overshadow the need for a comprehensive review of the movement of their goods. Yet ongoing analysis and efficient management of both inbound and outbound freight can have a dramatic effect on customer service and your bottom line
Our comprehensive freight audit services are specifically designed to cut out our client’s costs on transportation and logistics. This is a very specialized function requiring experience and solid knowledge of industry standards, best practices and economical alternatives. A thorough comparison of all transactions often reveals significant waste resulting from human error, inefficient supplier selection, loss interest income or poor use of technology at various levels.
In virtually all cases, our extensive and non-invasive freight audit will result in significant long-term returns that far exceed the cost of the service paid.
While our goal is to become, for all of our clients, a single source for all transportation and logistics requirements, our experience and expertise allows us to provide as much or as little service as you may require. From analysis and recommendations to partial or full implementation of specific solutions, we have the resources to provide the service you need so you can concentrate on your core business priorities.
Our process would begin with a systematic analysis of your transportation and logistics practices and processes. Based on the scope and circumstances discussed and agreed upon, Hitek would include an overall review of utilization and efficiencies in the area you required.
After we have completed a comprehensive analysis and developed our recommendations, the next logical step for most of our customers is to assign more or all of the day-to-day and long-term management functions of their transportation and logistics to Hitek. Our management services are tailored to your specific requirements and may include any or all of the following:
- Coordination of appointed departments, suppliers and partners
- Total project management, including on or off site analysis, timeline development, cost analysis, budgeting and monthly audit.
- SAP implementation at various levels.
- Weekly, monthly or quarterly savings reports.
- Customized database management.
- EDI.
- Flexible strategies to meet your company’s growth, market shifts, fluctuating priorities, new technologies and new service capabilities.
Once we have identified weaknesses or inefficiencies, we produce a comprehensive report detailing practical solutions. From our initial review, we identify appropriate customer carriers contracts in term of pricing, their ability to service your company’s particular needs and overall management capabilities. We also review insurance, safety, tracking capabilities, experience, equipment and systems. We develop route plans, cost saving strategies and logistics plans, we prioritize areas of immediate concern or highest potential and produce a detailed report.
Upon approval by your company, we will put the plan into action. We begin with price finalization and supplier introduction, and then we develop a start-up schedule, billing and payment terms and a complete reporting system to ensure continuity and accountability.
From the very beginning, Hitek will develop schedules, contact lists, back up contingency plans, reporting systems and complete database to ensure the long-term viability of the implemented system. Your company would quickly recognize significant benefits from the process, including substantial cost savings, reduced personnel involvement, increased coverage, priority service and accessibility to suppliers ongoing performance auditing and centralized billing that will streamline the accounting process and eliminate billing errors and omissions.
From traffic and accounting department to shipping and receiving, we want Hitek to become your single source, single call courier transportation and logistics partners.
