Cost Management Program

Cost Management services benefit the small/medium importer & domestic shipper

AFS, with its 600+ clients and a $500+ million portfolio, provides members with a:

• Review of freight invoices (all modes domestic & international) for overcharges and provides recovery services
• Savings through Cost Management Program
• Specialized invoice accounting services to consolidate payments and report further savings opportunities

Since the majority of your freight arrives on contracted furniture carriers where you receive fairly-competitive pricing, AFS’ program focuses on Common LTL Carriers such as FedEx, Southeastern, and YRC where you are responsible for routing the freight.

By providing a select group of core carriers, AFS created preferential Member discounts. If you receive freight on carriers like ABF, Averitt Express, Central Freight, Con-Way, Old Dominion, and many others, you may be surprised to find the NHFA Core Carriers have greater discounts.

NHFA Core Carriers
A few Less-than-Truckload (LTL) carriers have been selected as NHFA Core Carriers. By combining all Members’ transportation volume with AFS’ $500+ million portfolio, preferential pricing has been arranged. There is no cost to participate.

Additional Services
For those members with considerable freight volume (e.g. 4+ LTL shipments/day, 40+ Small Parcels/day, 1+ TL/week, 1+ Int’l Containers/month), AFS offers even more.....

Post Audit
GUARANTEED TO FIND SAVINGS OR YOU PAY US NOTHING. AFS reviews previously paid invoices to ensure proper classifications, discounts, and rates were applied. The audit will also identify any duplicate or erroneous payments to carriers. Contact NHFA@afs.net to participate.

International Air and Ocean Freight
With Government regulations and Customs inspections growing, shipping internationally is a very challenging part of every business’ supply chain. Check out AFS Advantage (www.afsadvantage.net) and then contact NHFA@afs.net to participate.
