The challenge
Freight invoices were approved on trust because checking each one against the contract by hand was impossible at volume, so overcharges were paid and rarely recovered.
What we built
We matched every invoice line to the contracted rate and expected accessorials, flagging discrepancies for review before payment.
- Line-level matching of invoices to contracted rates.
- Discrepancy flags by carrier, lane, and charge type.
- A recovery worklist ranked by disputed value.
Outcomes
- Overcharges are caught before payment, not after.
- Recurring billing errors by carrier are surfaced and fixed.
- Recovered and prevented charges are quantified.
