AFS Logistics announces agreement with e2open

AFS Logistics, an industry-leading third-party logistics (3PL) provider, announces an agreement with e2open, the connected supply chain SaaS platform with the largest multi-enterprise network. Users of e2open’s Transportation Management will be able to connect to the AFS freight audit and payment solution.

“Shippers face a logistics landscape with various shocks and disruptions that can threaten service continuity and apply major pressure on tight margins,” says Dean Jones, Chief Channel Development Officer, AFS Logistics. “Our collaboration with e2open helps us further equip shippers to adapt to pricing and capacity fluctuations and keep freight moving efficiently.”

AFS freight audit and payment services work to ensure shippers only pay what they should by uncovering overcharges, resolving errors, addressing late payments and more to provide accurate billing and payment on every invoice, every time. On average, the company identifies a 20% invoice error rate and recovers savings of up to 8% on each invoice. AFS is one of the original founders of the freight audit and payment industry, and has grown to over 380 teammates across eight locations in North America since its inception in 1982.

"At e2open, we are committed to providing our customers with the most comprehensive and integrated solutions for managing their supply chains," says Antoine Wade, General Manager, e2open. "Our TMS offerings exemplify this, and working with AFS further enables shippers to optimize their logistics operations.”

The goal of AFS and e2open working together is to equip shippers with cutting-edge technology and rich data, with the expertise to put it to work and extract critical logistics insights. This empowers customers to make more informed, data-driven decisions, with greater visibility and powerful solutions in a seamlessly integrated technology platform.
