Checking invoices is at the core of the solution, but there are so many things you can do with the data you generate. It requires a fair amount of effort to get up and running, but once you have it, you never want to do without it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Freight Audit SelfService and how does it work?

Freight Audit SelfService (FASS) is a self-service, end-to-end freight cost settlement solution built for shippers who use Transport Assignment. It automates the entire invoice lifecycle — from booking through audit to payment-ready verification — without outsourcing to a third-party provider. By connecting directly to existing Transporeon transport data, FASS validates carrier invoices automatically against agreed rates and rules, flags discrepancies instantly, and closes the full order-to-pay process.

How does FASS prevent freight invoice overbilling rather than just detecting it?

Unlike traditional freight audit tools that catch overbilling retrospectively, FASS prevents it at the source. Carriers are guided to create invoices within the shipper's enforced billing rules — meaning incorrect invoices are flagged the moment they're submitted, with instant structured feedback to the carrier. This shifts the burden away from shippers having to challenge invoices after the fact, eliminating overbilling by design rather than discovering it after payment.

How much can companies save with FASS freight audit automation?

Shippers typically save 2–3% of total freight spend, driven by workload reduction and overbilling prevention. On the operational side, FASS reduces manual invoice processing workload by up to 70% — eliminating scanning, coding, Excel checks, and email-based dispute handling. These savings compound over time as carrier billing quality improves within the structured process, reducing the volume of exceptions that require human attention.

How does FASS compare to outsourced managed freight audit services?

Freight Audit Managed is designed for large enterprises with complex, multi-modal, global operations and comes with implementation overhead and dependency on a third-party provider. FASS puts shippers in full control of their freight audit process without outsourcing — right-sized for companies of all sizes, with a plug-and-play setup that requires no lengthy implementation project and delivers immediate value through seamless Transporeon platform integration.

Does FASS require a complex IT implementation or integration project?

No — FASS is designed as a plug-and-play solution. Because it's built directly into the Transporeon platform and pre-populated with transport data from Transport Assignment, there's no complex configuration or standalone integration project required. Shippers can self-onboard and begin auditing invoices immediately, with no new system to learn and no separate vendor to manage. The setup is as straightforward as it gets for a freight audit tool.

How does FASS handle freight invoice disputes between shippers and carriers?

FASS replaces ad-hoc email disputes and credit note spreadsheets with a centralized, transparent online dispute management environment. Both shippers and carriers have real-time visibility into the status of every invoice and dispute — eliminating the common problem of disputes being lost in private email threads and informal approvals. A full audit trail from order to settlement supports compliance and reporting requirements for both parties.

What transport modes and use cases does FASS support?

FASS currently covers road transport, including Full Truck Load (FTL) and intermodal shipments managed through Transport Assignment on the Transporeon platform. It's designed for shippers already using Transport Assignment who want to extend their automation into freight invoice settlement. For enterprises with multi-modal, global operations requiring a fully outsourced service, Freight Audit Managed is the appropriate alternative.

How does FASS ensure legal and tax compliance on freight invoices?

Every invoice processed through FASS is automatically verified for legal entity details and correct tax application. This reduces the risk of VAT non-compliance, tax authority fines, and payment fraud — risks that commonly arise when invoice review is rushed or manual. For finance teams, this means greater confidence that approved invoices meet regulatory requirements, and fewer surprises during audits or period-end close processes.

What are the benefits of FASS for carriers, not just shippers?

FASS is designed as a two-sided solution. Carriers benefit from a predictable, guided invoicing process: they control when and what to invoice, receive instant structured feedback when something is incorrect, and can trust that a correctly submitted invoice will be paid promptly. This removes uncertainty from the carrier billing experience and is reflected in FASS being part of Transporeon's Carrier Loyalty Program — rewarding carriers who engage reliably with the platform.

How does FASS provide real-time accruals and financial visibility?

FASS includes built-in real-time accruals monitoring, giving finance and logistics teams an accurate view of confirmed-but-not-yet-invoiced transport costs at any moment. This supports more reliable financial planning, period-end close processes, and cost forecasting. Combined with full invoice status transparency and traceability — from "funding requested" through to "paid" — FASS turns freight cost settlement from a black box into a managed, visible financial process.
