Freight Audit for Shippers

Stop paying the freight you don't owe

In operations without systematic checking, 3% to 8% of freight invoices carry overcharges. MK checks each freight invoice against the contracted rate, recovers what was overpaid and installs continuous audit. Self-funding ROI: you pay with what you recover.

What we deliver

Invoice against contract, invoice by invoice.

  • Invoice vs. contracted rate — every freight invoice validated against what was negotiated.
  • Freight current account — discrepancies in weight, cubage, redelivery, accessorials and outdated rate tables tracked and disputed.
  • Retroactive recovery — refund of what was overcharged in recent cycles.
  • Continuous audit — a recurring monthly check, not a one-off review.
  • Cumulative savings dashboard — how much was identified, disputed and recovered, month by month.

Why freight leaks

High invoice volume, complex rate tables per route and mode, and no systematic checking. The result is overcharges that go unnoticed in the routine.

How we run it

The MK Cycle applied to freight audit.

Measure

We load the freight invoices and contracted rates and cross-check invoice by invoice. The baseline is how much you overpay today.

Execute

We dispute the discrepancies, recover the retroactive amount and renegotiate what the audit reveals as above market.

Govern

We install the continuous audit and the savings dashboard — the leak doesn't return in the routine.
