It is also important to emphasize that auditing your small parcel invoices is still necessary because there are many ways you are eligible for refunds besides service failures. There are also many soft-dollar savings opportunities available to shippers who audit and leverage a small parcel business intelligence tool to make use of the data it provides. Small parcel data can provide actionable information and assist in more informed decision-making in any parcel shipping operation.
