We operate as collections infrastructure for the freight industry since 2004. We're the system finance teams integrate when their internal processes can no longer recover.
Every placed account enters a 9-phase operational protocol grouped into 3 systems, with permanent visibility on your dashboard.
Direct upload of supporting documentation including statement of account, invoices, bill of lading, rate confirmation, service request, contract, and any other applicable documents, plus your client's contact information, relevant email exchanges, and a brief description of the case or reason for placement.
Recovery plan designed for the client's and debtor's industry, considering debt age and available documentary support. Strategic opening of subcases with shippers, consignees, or third parties responsible. Bilingual case management across Mexico, US, and Canada, with local legal backing and successful recovery experience in 16 countries.
Dashboard with phase status indicators, real-time recovery actions, payment promises, and complete reporting — giving you total visibility on each case's progress without having to request constant updates.
Freight billing is complex. In addition to freight invoices, we also recover rate disputes, accessorial charges, damage claims, detention, and chargebacks. Every uncollected item is trapped capital.
Past-due invoices and formal payment defaults — the most common case in freight.
Freight, fuel surcharges, and accessorial charges that the client disputes or tries to adjust in their favor.
Claims for damaged, lost, or out-of-spec cargo deliveries.
Demurrage, layover, and storage caused by delays attributable to the client.
Conflicts with shipper or consignee that delay account reconciliation.
Unilateral deductions and unjustified penalties without legal basis by the client.
AFS International uses proprietary artificial intelligence algorithms to design collection plans and recovery actions. This is one more reason why no other collections firm recovers faster or more effectively in the freight industry.
