The tools within the integrated platform include:

  • AFSmartAudit – freight audit and payment (FAP) processing that ensures shippers pay only what they should.
  • AFSmartTMS – transportation management system that allows users to stop wasting time searching for critical information and instead rely on an intuitive, state-of-the-art portal that fully integrates with ERP systems.
  • AFSmartTrack – full shipment visibility that provides real-time updates and analytics for all inbound and outbound freight.
  • AFSmartClaim – automates the creation, tracking and management of overage, shortage and damage (OS&D) claims.
  • AFSmartAnalytics – provides a wide range of critical metrics through standard or customized reports, including high-level aggregate data sets and transactional metrics to track lanes, carriers, accessorials, spend, service levels and more. 

 

”We are particularly excited about the introduction of AFSmartAudit because it represents a critical re-platforming of AFS’ core system and further optimizes our freight audit and payment offering,” says Nathan Johnson, CIO, AFS Logistics. “The new interface offers automated functionalities and full visibility to a host of critical FAP data — including invoice, shipping and billing details — to help users manage freight efficiently and accurately, and make faster, more informed decisions using the leading tech stack in our space.”
