Beyond the Freight Bill Audit
“Additionally, we are adding new sus- tainability management tools for our clients to help them meet sustainable development goals for the three pillars of economy, society, and the environment.” FORTIGO Leveraging Automation to Optimize Your Supply Chain For more than 20 years, Fortigo has pio- neered the one system—any shipment transportation management system (TMS) and freight audit solution. By marrying its TMS and its freight audit and payment (FAP) service in a closed- loop ecosystem, Fortigo can offer its clients maximum visibility and hard-dol- lar savings. Historically, TMS solutions have been geared to a speci c geography. Shippers who operated in different regions of the world would need to work with multiple systems, and often lacked macro visibility into their global operation. Through its cloud-based TMS, Fortigo can cover any shipment, any mode, and any geography.

They can also rely on one system of record for full visibility into their global supply chain. Similarly, Fortigo’s freight audit system can pay carriers in any geography and with any currency.
