Real Time Tracking

In-Transit Notification

Using our proprietary technology (you need to see it to believe it) PDSLogistics will track all of your shipments using a “Predictive Modeler”. You can even flag your most important shipments to send you alerts to your cell phone, email address, or any other device that you choose.

Invoice Reconciliation

Billing Errors
Rate Corrections

There are numerous carrier billing mistakes, service delivery failures, and erroneous accessorial charges that occur on each shipping invoice. PDSLogistics guarantees to reduce freight costs with our transportation audit solutions, which include: UPS, FedEx, truck (FTL & LTL), ocean freight, rail freight, and air freight auditing.

Using innovative technology, our team of experienced former UPS, FedEx and DHL employees will deliver maximum parcel shipping and freight cost savings by ensuring each carrier invoice is correct. Depending upon which shipping carriers you currently use, we will conduct a freight pre-audit and/or freight post audit of each shipping invoice. Our audit services will identify shipment billing errors and late deliveries. PDSLogistics will manage the carrier audit refund process to make certain you do not overpay any of your carriers.

Claim Filing

SLA Failure Filings
Insurance Filings

When you pay for an express shipment, you are paying for a specified delivery window. Statistics have shown that every carrier misses an average of 10% of their delivery windows. It is considered a Service Failure if it arrives one-minute later than what you've paid for. We will process claims for your shipments that have failed to be delivered on-time per your carrier service level agreement.

At least 2% of your shipments never arrive to their destination. Make sure you are getting the proper return on your investment. PDSLogistics also provides services for filing your insurance claims.

Product Offerings

A.R.T. (Auditing in Real Time)

Overview

A.R.T. is a suite of orchestrated applications which perform the following:

1. Track express freight shipments through express (or small-parcel) networks designed and serviced by 3PL providers (e.g. DHL, FedEx, UPS, USPS, etc.) from operational 3PL shipment data.

2. Determine probabilistic forecast on express freight successfully arriving at its destination within the 3PL-defined SLA (service-level agreement) guaranteed delivery time.

3. Allow shippers to build business relationship-centric business rules to automatically risk mitigate SLA failures.

4. Cross-reference 3PL-provided audit/billing/invoice information against operational data to expose discrepancies in billing and service.

5. Automatically file shipper SLA failure and loss/damage claims with the appropriate 3PL where applicable.

6. Provide user/group/department/company views into operational and heuristic shipping data.

7. Provide empirical cost/efficacy analysis per-3PL for given routes of freight destination.

A.R.T. is intended for companies shipping 100 pieces of freight (or more) daily (or equivalent).

VFR (Virtual-Force A.R.T.)

Overview

VFR is “A.R.T.-LITE”; offering a subset of A.R.T. functions (1, 4, 5 and partially 6, listed in the Overview section above) for companies shipping between 5 and 99 pieces of freight through express (or small-parcel) networks serviced by 3PL providers.
