AFS Freight Audit and Payment is a managed service for reviewing transportation charges, resolving billing issues, and processing payments. Its checks can happen before and after payment, with pricing tolerances agreed collaboratively with each client.

It analyzes shipping and billing data to support logistics decisions, while clients receive tools to monitor and validate the work. The related AFSmartAudit platform offers configurable no-code business rules, detailed freight reports, real-time documents, and automatic notifications. Invoices can be submitted electronically through EDI or eSubmit, and payment methods include ACH and wire transfer.
