Customer Testimonials

“We had a very positive experience partnering with M&S for the audit of our ocean freight invoices and exchange rates.”

Accuracy and cost efficiency are paramount to our operations, and M&S has proven to be a great collaborator in achieving these objectives. M&S conducted a thorough audit of two years' worth of invoices, uncovering several instances of invoice mistakes. Their attention to detail and industry expertise resulted in a notable cost saving and the prevention of avoidable financial losses.

Working with the M&S team was a pleasure, as they demonstrated professionalism and a profound understanding of the shipping industry. Throughout the audit process, they provided clear and concise explanations, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free experience for our organization. What sets M&S apart is definitively their 'no cure, no pay' business model and we were only required to remunerate their services upon their successful identification and recovery of errors within our invoices.

In summary, we endorse M&S for the audit of ocean freight invoices and exchange rates.

Their professionalism, expertise, and customer-centric approach make them a great partner.

Thanks to their efforts, we have achieved considerable cost savings and gained valuable insights into our shipping expenses.

We look forward to continuing our partnership with M&S in the future.

I am pleased to draft this letter as a robust business reference for M&S. After closely collaborating with M&S and Thomas Sørbø, I wholeheartedly affirm their unwavering professionalism, outstanding work quality, and dedication to excellence.

In a time when Jotun experienced huge fluctuation in freight rates, an increased focus on shipping costs, and increasingly complex surcharges, we have benefited greatly from M&S’s expertise.

Our collaboration has given us valuable insight into the various cost elements in a shipping rate and created an awareness of freight and freight costs in general that we didn't have before.

Thanks to M&S, we have achieved cost savings, improved internal routines, and fostered fruitful and constructive collaborations with our shipping partners. This ultimately benefits all parties of our supply chain.

M&S has consistently demonstrated its expertise and dedication in the field of freight bill audit, and their attention to detail and ability to deliver high-quality results are commendable. They possess in-depth knowledge and skills that are evident in the successful completion of projects and their contributions to our business.

I can confidently recommend M&S as a reliable supplier and expert in their business domain.

Anbefaling

Jeg har hatt gleden av å bli kjent med Thomas gjennom Martin & Sørbø, hvor oppdraget var å revidere alle sjøfraktfakturaer tre år tilbake i tid. Det viktige med dette oppdraget var at jeg ikke skulle ha noen arbeidsbyrde knyttet til revisjonen, annet enn å gi Thomas tilgang til XXL sine fakturaer. Utfallet var overraskende både for XXL og speditøren, da de avdekket mange avvik både på valuta og rater. XXL hadde aldri greid å avdekke disse avvikene på egen hånd, men Thomas, med sine innovative systemer, fant avvikene på en enkel måte. Dette resulterte i at XXL fikk kreditert et betydelig beløp med minimalt arbeid fra vår side. Takk, Thomas.
