Routing Compliance Methodology

How We Do What No One Else Does

Most companies don’t do a routing compliance audit. Why? Identifying claims across multiple systems is
extremely manual and difficult.

So we developed technology to automate the process and keep your shipping costs exactly how you
budgeted. We do all the work, you get money back, and your suppliers get a reminder on how they
should ship in the future.

Step 2: Normalize the Data – NO ONE Else Does This!!!

The complete path of every order by joining data that was never meant to be joined.

PO# 142:
