The TrafficPro system will eliminate all overcharges and duplicate payments to ensure that your freight invoices are paid once, correctly and on time. Easily generated management reports allow you to benchmark, forecast and analyze all aspects of your logistics expenses.
All of this is available without dedicating your own valuable IT resources developing an audit and payment system from scratch. We’ll customize your TrafficPro system for seamless integration with your current in-house systems and tailor the program to your specific needs and applications.

Freight Bill Audit and Payment Process
TrafficPro can match your shipment information (B/L or PO number) with your carrier invoices. Duplicate invoices are rejected based on Pro number, B/L number or PO number. Shipments are rated using National Traffic's rating processor which is customized to include all of your contract rates, negotiated discounts, tariffs, UPS rates, air freight rates, carrier zip rates and truckload rates. Carrier rating incorporates the following features:
- Fuel surcharges based on current DOE prices
- Multiple class rating
- Interlined point rating
- Multiple FAK rating
- Accessorial auditing
- Multiple effective dates

Complete payment information detailing carrier name, Pro number, dollar amount and reasons for adjustments are transferred to your accounts payable system for fast, accurate payment. Accrual and cost center information can also be exported in any of the following formats: ASCII (comma delimited), Lotus, Excel, FoxPro, and SDF (ASCII fixed field format).
