摘要：	Nearly every shipper knows parcel costs have skyrocketed. So, it's news when a third-party logistics provider with solid freight audit and payment credentials can save a customer $1.17 million a year in parcel costs. But that's what AFS Services has done for Rexel USA, one of the world's largest electrical distributors and serves millions of customers from more than 500 branches and distribution centers in this country. AFS processes $11 billion in freight bills annually. Its freight audit and payment (FAP) services remain the cornerstone of its business and are utilized by nearly 95% of its customer base. In Rexall's case, the company's DCs process massive parcel volumes. But delayed deliveries, claims filing, lack of detailed reporting and a large roster of carriers made managing costs difficult. There were hard-to-fathom ac-cessorials as well-balances due and short pays. AFS set out to first provide Rexel with better visibility into its shipments. It reduced the number of LTL carriers from eight to two, and it implemented a new claims process that returned more than $238,000 in the first 15 months.
