Note: Today’s post is part of our “Editor’s Pick” series where we highlight posts published by our sponsors that provide practical knowledge and advice on timely and important supply chain and logistics topics. This recent Infios blog post by Brett Hamrick, Director of BI & Analytics at Infios, highlights how — via four customer examples — Freight Audit and Payment (FAP) analytics uncover hidden cost drivers and deliver measurable margin gains.

For many transportation leaders, Freight Audit and Payment (FAP) solutions look very similar. They audit invoices, ensure carriers are paid, and produce standard dashboards.

But the real value isn’t just about auditing and payments alone; it’s how analytics help you understand why costs are changing, and what to do about it.

That’s the gap many shippers face: data without answers.

You may already know what you’re spending, but do you know why that spend is going up or down? Can you trace the drivers behind cost shifts and turn them into actionable strategies?

That’s where business intelligence and analytics tied to FAP make the difference. When data is transformed into visibility and coupled with expert guidance, shippers gain the ability to spot hidden cost drivers, quantify risks, and act with confidence. And often, the savings opportunities are larger and simpler than expected.

The following customer examples show how organizations across industries have done exactly that.

Trust and Trading Partner Compliance

As a follow-up to previous surveys on trust in supply chain management, this survey explores trust as it relates to trading partners complying with regulations (e.g., forced labor, environmental, global trade, etc.). If a trusted supply chain partner was found to have compliance or risk management issues, how would your organization most likely respond? What type of evidence do you require from trading partners for them to receive/retain “Trusted Partner” status?
