Managed freight audit and payment for shippers, combining invoice automation, expert exception review, cost allocation and transportation spend analytics.
A3 Freight Payment combines freight invoice processing technology with dedicated audit and account-management services. Its Global Freight Audit Payment offering covers invoice receipt, validation, rate and service audit, cost accounting, exception management and accounts payable automation for shippers. An automated rate engine checks charges against customer-provided contracts and rates, with dedicated A3 staff reviewing rating and service exceptions. Buyers can configure audit tolerances, charge-based alerts and approvals. The service also supports service-guarantee audits, fuel-surcharge updates, rate-expiration monitoring and charge-level reporting. A3 accepts manual and electronic invoices, including email attachments, XML, spreadsheets, CSV files, web portal entry and standard X12 EDI documents. It can combine invoice data with customer source files for shipment-, order- or purchase-order-level analysis. Accounts payable workflows include general-ledger coding, accounting upload files, electronic remittance advice, ACH disbursements and payee reconciliation. Accounting connectivity is described through electronic upload files rather than a published list of named native software connectors. A3's broader transportation spend management services include customized freight spend analytics and business intelligence. Its company materials describe large-volume shippers, including clients with at least $30 million in annual transportation spend, as well as smaller shippers seeking greater visibility. This spend figure describes some customers, not a minimum purchasing requirement.
