Automated freight cost management
Save a lot, spend a little: With the automated Freight Cost Management from VCE
Manual processes, non-transparent invoices, frequently changing freight conditions, changes at the logistics partner – all this makes the calculation of transport costs opaque. Your logistics controlling needs to invest more time and you need to invest more money.
With the TMS module VCE FRAME, you digitize your freight cost management: from preliminary calculation, invoice verification and approval to freight cost simulation and quotation control for current negotiations, all steps are carried out automatically, securely, and transparently.
In this way you can easily reduce transport costs and personnel expenses and uncover possible weak points in the transport process.

For example, you can determine within which tolerance an invoice should be accepted automatically.
Always everything in view
- Central database for all freight rates, tariffs, fuel surcharges, offers and invoices
- Access via external and internal reporting tools such as QlikView™
Thanks to the central database, you have all your documents centralized in one place. Whether freight rates, tariffs, weight tables, flat rates, fuel surcharges or invoices. This means you can find the relevant information more quickly and compare contents more easily. Access can be provided via integrated reporting tools such as QlikView™ or Microsoft BI.
Automated verification
- Freely definable freight conditions
- Consideration of all surcharges incl. dangerous goods
- Target freight costs determination down to item level
- Automated creation of deviation reports
Admittedly, checking a freight invoice with hundreds of positions is not much fun, but necessary. FRAME relieves you by automatically comparing invoices at item level with the agreed conditions and by generating deviation reports. If desired, invoices can also be approved automatically if the deviation is within your freely configurable tolerance limit.
