VARSITY RELEASES SHIPAUDIT(tm) 1.1
Latest release of Varsity ShipAudit adds key customer-driven enhancements
COMMON CONFERENCE & EXPO, INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana - March 9, 2003. Varsity Logistics, Inc., the pioneer of transportation management solutions for the IBM iSeries (AS/400), today announced that it has released ShipAudit 1.1, the latest version of its ground-breaking carrier invoice auditing software. Varsity will demonstrate ShipAudit 1.1 at the Common Conference & Expo in Indianapolis from March 9th to March 11th.
Carrier invoice auditing is a significant area for transportation managers to control costs. Varsity ShipAudit, which was first released in early 2002, streamlines the auditing of freight bills against negotiated carrier rates and discounts, saving valuable time and recuperating overpaid expense. The software ensures carriers' claim and dispute deadlines are met, and eliminates the need for expensive third-party consultants. Furthermore, ShipAudit simplifies carrier management based on historical performance, and provides information for future contract negotiations.
The latest release of ShipAudit, version 1.1, includes several customer-driven enhancements. In addition to electronic data interchange, transportation managers can now automatically extract data from carriers' billing spreadsheets for faster invoice analysis. Additional function keys make ShipAudit even easier to use, and new reports enable the accounting department to allocate shipping costs to different cost accounts.
Using ShipAudit Varsity customers control shipping expense. "Auditing carrier invoices is a top priority for many of our customers and a big way to reduce costs, notes Tony Phillips, Varsity Product Manager, "ShipAudit is our fastest growing product line, and we are investing in customer-driven enhancements to make ShipAudit even more valuable for our customers".
In addition to ShipAudit, Varsity provides FreightAudit, auditing software for freight shippers. FreightAudit automates the reconciliation of anticipated LTL, Truckload and Rail shipment costs with actual billed carrier costs. FreightAudit helps transportation managers control freight costs, monitor trends, meet claim and dispute deadlines and eliminate third-party auditing consultants.
