Your Freight is Our Specialty

For companies who specialize in various industries other than transportation, managing a freight program can mean having to become familiar with a completely new industry and essentially becoming a traffic manager. Tempus specializes in the transportation industry, and we are familiar with all types of billing procedures, miscellaneous charges, cubing, and discount arrangements. For companies without prior knowledge in this industry, it has been estimated that tens of thousands of dollars are lost each year to overcharges and costly billing errors.

Tempus will audit your invoices, seeking out any billing discrepancies or overcharges, which you may not have noticed upon first receipt of your invoicing. Not only can Tempus save you time, but also money in terms of your company's transportation budget and costs, saving you as much as thirty percent each year.

The Tempus Advantage

Tempus has invested itself in E.D.I. (Electronic Data Interchange) as a means of providing and receiving information between our office and the carriers you select. This eliminates the possibility of manual data entry errors, as well as duplicate billing, as the E.D.I system has the ability to hold these bills in the system until they are deemed legitimate re-billing or adjustments to previous invoices.

Tempus handles carrier concerns and queries pertaining to your invoices directly, saving you valuable time without having to involve you, the customer. The Tempus website gives both carriers and shippers access to information about their invoices with regards to the process date, cheque date and cheque number. We believe that keeping both you and the carrier informed is an important part of the auditing process.

Carrier invoices are processed bi-monthly (on the 15th and 30th of each month), which helps you maintain timely and accurate payment of your invoicing to the carriers you entrust with your freight.

In addition, Tempus has the ability to provide you with a variety of special reports pertaining to any aspect of your transportation program. We are always available to assist in managing your transportation program and helping you make the most advantageous choices for your business. We can also assist you in selecting the carriers which best suit your shipping needs, keeping in mind the best possible quality, service and economical choices.

On-time Information

Tempus reports can be based on a number of criteria, which include most economical routing, monthly spending patterns, selected carriers, as well as weekly, monthly and yearly comparison reporting. We can organize your reports to place the focus on specific factors including invoice number, carrier, pieces, weight, account number, priority of shipment, and commodities which may be included.
