How Freight Claims Process Automation Protects Your Bottom Line

Damaged shipments need a freight claim, best managed by an automated freight claims process.

While we try to strategize and streamline as much as possible, damaged and lost shipments are inevitable, with an average of 1% of shipments ending up with a freight claim. Inefficiency of the traditional freight claims process amplifies the cost impact.

Although, you face the threat of a freight claim, you can improve the process as much as possible. Automation streamlines the freight claims process. While automation addresses these inevitable freight claims effectively, it also provides a variety of additional benefits to an organization.

The Current State of Freight Claims

Currently, the industry faces common challenges that affect the freight claims process. These are some to consider:
  • Relying on a labor-intensive, manual freight claims process.
  • Finding it difficult to share information.
  • Dealing with long-term costs as organizations.
  • Failing to file claims.
  • Missing the resources to handle claims.
