What does Freight audit mean in logistics?
Short answer
Checking every freight invoice against the contract rate, the actual shipment data and the proof of delivery before payment, and recovering overcharges.
Common findings in India include wrong vehicle-type rates, duplicate detention claims, diesel escalation calculated on the wrong base, and bills raised without a matching POD. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
