Why an outside auditor?
It is sound financial practice to utilize an audit firm with a
specialty in the moving industry. It keeps all transactions
at an arm's length. Auditing moving invoices is a specialized
skill. It takes years' of experience in the moving
and storage industry before an auditor has the skills to properly
audit. At Infinity, we take great pride in our auditors,
who average 14 years' experience in the moving & storage
industry. All are Certified Moving Professionals and Household
Tariff Specialists.
What kind of an audit do you want?
We offer a wide range of services that can be tailored to your
specific needs. Our standard program includes three different
levels of audit, each offering increasingly more stringent levels
of audit and detailed reporting. We are best known for our
audit process that controls costs before, during, and after the
move. It provides unrivaled levels of savings and data management. This
process was recognized by the ERC for innovation and problem
solving. Regardless of your need, Infinity can provide the
greatest value providing best practices to your company.
Why audit outsourced programs?
Although most third parties claim to audit your invoices, all of
our clients have seen a significant increase in their audit savings
as well as vastly improved reporting. Infinity becomes your
guardian over the “fox in the hen house” syndrome where
the third party who may be making as much as $1,500 in commission
per move is also making policy decisions affecting cost and paying
their own invoices. We provide your company proof that you
are receiving the level of discount and cost you contracted for
with your third party. Sound business practices require outside
auditing and monitoring of these activities.
Increased savings through cost avoidance
practices.
Only Infinity provides expert advice and ensures compliance with
all applicable tariffs, contracts, and policies throughout the
entire move. For example, by evaluating carriers' estimates, we
prevent errors before they occur, lowering packing, crating, and
accessorial costs. Infinity provides instant advice to you regarding
authorization of moving expenses based on sound industry practices. These "pre-move
savings" are fully documented in our database for reporting.

Free trial audit
and contract review
The best way to see how we can help you is to have us to perform
a free trial audit on up to 10 invoices. We will perform an audit
and review your contracts. We will prepare reports showing what you
can expect
from us. We
will review your contracts and make money-saving recommendations. We
typically spot errors in 30% to 60% of the invoices audited, resulting
in an average savings of $300 to $600 per file during trial audits. Contact
us to get the full details.
What does Infinity Management audit?
Not all audits are the same. Just ask many of our clients who
used to utilize other auditing firms. Even though many of the items
audited are the same, the thoroughness of the audit can differ considerably. At
Infinity, every aspect of every invoice is carefully audited by our
experienced staff with special attention to problematic areas of
your movers or the industry in general.
Infinity Management is the only company to offer a 400-N specific
auditing program. Our database instantly compares packing charges
between the two different methodologies. This allows you to
trend the data and make adjustments as necessary, reducing the cost
of your moves. We also provide the correct mileage and origin
and destination cities, which no longer appear on your invoices. This
is critical to benchmarking.
Our actual audit process is proprietary.
Upon request, we can furnish you with a complete description.
Please contact us for details.
What about auditing international moves?
International audits are very different from domestic audits. They
require skilled, experienced auditors who understand the complexities
of international moving and pricing. Only Infinity’s
systems permit the proper auditing of international moves by verifying
a myriad of charges and items. The process is similar to the
domestic audit, but has a greater emphasis on data collection for
rate comparison and reporting. You will have access to thousands
of international rates for instant cost projections as well as the
ability to verify international costs not covered under specific
contracted rates. Most companies contracts do not provide enough.
