In ARG\u2019s white paper \u201cHidden CASS Profits: Air Cargo’s Struggle with Invoice Accuracy\u201d, the issue of invoice accuracy is reviewed as well as its impact on carrier profits.\u00a0 Below are 5 common causes of revenue loss that many airlines are experiencing in their cargo operations:<\/span><\/p>\n

#1 Incorrect Chargeable Weight:<\/b><\/span>
\n
\nIt is hard to believe that this remains a major cause of revenue loss, but this issue still persists with many airlines. \u00a0Often the volume weight is incorrectly calculated \u00a0or completely ignored, or the shipment is split, and the invoicing system breaks down by only picking up part of the shipment. \u00a0No matter the cause, the end result is that chargeable weight issues continue to be a major source of revenue loss.
\n<\/span>
\n#2 Incorrect Container Charge:<\/b><\/span>
\n
\nDepending upon the carrier and its pricing structure, container shipments are often a major source of invoicing issues. \u00a0Potential areas of consideration include over-pivot charges, container counts, as well as container types (i.e. LD7 invoiced as LD3; Enviro Container invoiced as standard container). \u00a0Carriers with widebody service \u00a0(lower \/ main deck) and a high container volume are more susceptible to these types of invoicing issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

#3 Incorrect Service \/ Product:<\/b><\/span>
\n
\nCarriers provide different service levels or products, which often involve special handling and increased costs. \u00a0An Express, Perishable, or DGR \u00a0shipment invoiced at the general cargo rate are some examples that negatively impact margins. The broader the service offering the more likely revenue is being under-billed.
\n<\/span>
\n#4 Spot Rates:<\/b><\/span>
\n
\nIssuing a spot rate is often a manual process for the carrier that supersedes the auto rating system. \u00a0As with any manual process, errors are more commonplace. \u00a0A transposition error involving the spot rate, or surcharge, can result in a shipment being drastically under-billed.
\n<\/span>
\n#5 Data Capture Errors:<\/b><\/span>
\n
\nNo matter how robust, or sophisticated the invoicing system, invoice accuracy is mainly dependent on the quality of the data—garbage in garbage out. \u00a0Piece counts, weights, product \/ service level, special handling—invoice accuracy is dependent upon each of the data elements of the airway bill being entered correctly into the booking \/ invoicing system. A breakdown in data capture is a major cause of revenue loss. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The end result is that many carriers are losing 3-5+% in gross profits due to invoicing issues. Carriers with CASS adjustments rates > 5% may be losing more.<\/b> <\/span>
