Lower shipping costs internally and for members
If shipping packages with common carriers like FedEx, DHL and UPS is a regular occurrence for you organization and/or your membership organization, then EPISCS can help. The parcel auditing services built-in put all auditing and claim filing on autopilot, saving both time and money. Here’s how it works.
EPISCS regularly looks for damage claims, late packages, billing mistakes, unused shipping labels and more on shipping invoices and files claims when refunds are expected. Companies that use the software regularly see a few percent savings on each shipment invoice. Best of all, there’s no input required. The software works in the background, and reports weekly on the savings delivered.
When it comes to associations, there are a few ways to engage. For starters, if you ship any packages, even one a week, it’s worthwhile to sign up for your free EPISCS account, as a direct customer. The auditing and claim filing is done on a performance basis, which means that any potential refunds that are found and returned to your shipping invoices by EPISCS is the only means of payment for using the app. It’s all upside. There are no ongoing monthly fees or sign up costs. Once you see the software working on your accounts, it’s time to go to the next step.
Two partnership programs exist. The most common for associations is the referral program. In this way, EPISCS will provide a discount to your members and track all signups with links, custom URLs, and phone numbers. This program is easy to setup and works seamlessly with an existing benefits package. The second program is the reseller program, which was linked to above. This program allows companies to offer shipment auditing as a service, directly to members. All app interfaces, emails, marketing materials, everything is branded for your association. This program is referred to as the reseller program.
EPISCS services extend outside shipment auditing. With the lost and damage claim filing service enabled, EPISCS automatically sees the issue and takes the necessary actions to secure a refund for the value of the contents of the shipment. You, or your members, collect the refunds issued by the carriers without having to file the time-consuming claims manually. EPISCS offers an additional carrier agreement optimization option for direct customers and resellers. Carriers tend to slip waivers and fees into shipping contracts that they hope you don’t understand, but the EPISCS experts negotiate complicated contracts saving your members 10-20% on shipping.
