Invoice Audit & Payment Services

The average fully allocated cost for a medium to large company to pay a freight bill is $10.00. Thru KDL’s program customers can achieve significant soft cost savings and improved efficiency by not having to deal with the hassles involved with invoice payment, including manual entry, duplicate billings, error resolution, etc. In addition KDL passes on all discovered audit savings back to the customer.

KDL’s program eliminates the need to cut multiple checks to multiple providers thus reducing internal processing costs. Customers receive a single weekly invoice or voucher containing detail for all shipments across all carriers. KDL also provides customized General Ledger coding, or other shipment coding allowing proper allocation of freight costs while removing time consuming work from accounting departments.
