ASSIST4 Freight Management minimises your freight costs and maximises your cash flow
ASSIST4 Freight gives you efficient control over your transport costs, letting you know in advance exactly what your costs will be and providing you with self-billing and e-billing options to automate your invoice processes while giving you complete control over costs throughout the entire process. It doesn’t matter whether you calculate your freight costs in advance to support sales or during goods issue/receipt.
Quotes & Contracts Qualifier
A complete set of quotes is the basis of all freight calculation. ASSIST4 works with your quotes, analysing the various methods of calculation, cost components (weight, distance in road kilometers or tariffs, zone- and freight-dependent costs) and SLAs. Quotes that would otherwise be inscrutable - road, air or sea, even in foreign currencies - can then be compared with the click of a mouse.Freight Cost Calculator
ASSIST4 uses this basis to calculate your freight costs for each delivery or transport so that information on freight costs are uniform throughout the company and always up to date. This makes it possible to quickly and securely automate the reallocation of freight costs to customers, suppliers or internal cost centers.AlternaTips
Simulations and advance inquiries also utilise the base quotes, lending flexibility to the decision-making process. Which mode of transport would be most affordable? Which carriers are possibilities for a given route? Which of those is the most cost-effective? The most reliable? The Freight Calculator business service has answers to all these questions.Auto Audit
Double-checking incoming freight invoices is time-consuming, which is why many companies unfortunately never get around to it. ASSIST4 Freight gets you back on track.
ASSIST4 is familiar with all the quotes and has
often calculated the freight costs in advance, so incoming invoices are
automatically double-checked. If the invoice matches the
precalculation, payment instructions are automatically forwarded to
Financial Accounting. But if the ASSISTant finds a discrepancy, a
proactive alert is generated.

Self-Billing
Switching to a self-billing procedure is faster still. Instead of waiting for the invoices from your transport service providers, you can send them “credit notes” for the freight costs calculated by ASSIST4.E-Billing Enabler
All these processes for calculating and paying freight costs can be carried out electronically with even greater automation. ASSIST4 can initiate payment transactions in your financial system, receive and process electronic invoices such as those in EDI format from your business partners and transmit the credit notes back along the same path.Simulations
Trial without error: ASSIST4 Freight Management lets you experiment with individual transports or entire fiscal years from an entirely different perspective. Would a different business partner be more affordable? Could we save transport costs by restructuring our regional warehouses? ASSIST4 Freight knows the answers to these questions as well.View brochureContact us to find out more
