AFS freight audit and payment services work to ensure shippers only pay what they should by uncovering overcharges, resolving errors, addressing late payments and more to provide accurate billing and payment on every invoice, every time. The company also offers transportation management, audit, cost management and advisory services across a broad range of transportation modes, including parcel, LTL and truckload freight.

“Leverage Supply Chain Group was created to address the gaps we knew existed in the global supply chain. Our approach is to leverage our own experience and a consortium of expert supply chain organizations to address those gaps, and we’re proud to call AFS part of that group,” says Mike Borgerson, Executive Vice President, Leverage Supply Chain Group. “We put over a century of combined multi-functional supply chain experience to work so that customers can focus on their core business.”
