Handling of freight enquiries
In all of our activities we do not only keep an eye on the actual costs but also on the target costs. Thanks to cross-departmental cooperation, we give an overview of the expected costs on basis of our preliminary costing; even before billing. We transfer the target costs to various IT systems, e.g. SAP. Possible errors in bills of lading are located and corrected, e.g. by the IFTMAN check, before they result in false invoices. This also increases the informative value of your reserves.
In addition to the actual billing, cost allocation plays a significant role in the identification and traceability of invoice amounts.

Our complaints management is commission-free. Customers benefit from processes which have been progressed over years and help reduce expenditure of time and effort. We independently prepare declarations of assignment and of acceptance. In addition, we submit and pursue complaints until they have been cleared. Based on these complaints, we offer to give you an overview on demand. Accordingly, cancellations and credit notes can be checked and assigned. Not only do we deal with complains, we actively investigate the causes!

If required, we can also help you with SAP bookings. We receive invoices from various service providers and check them on the basis of the existing agreements. Billing lists, service entry sheets, parking references, and profit centers are not new to us.
Moreover, we retain the data available to us on a long-term basis. You can be assured that we will treat your internal company and freight information strictly confidential!
