FAQ

Common questions

Which freight modes do you audit?

Parcel, LTL, truckload and international freight invoices.

What do you need from us to start?

A sample of your carrier invoices and the rate contracts behind them. We use them to show you where overcharges, duplicate bills and missed refunds sit.

What formats can you take invoices in?

EDI files, PDFs, spreadsheets and carrier portal downloads. We bring them into one normalised format before the audit.

Do you file the claims as well?

Yes. We file late delivery and service failure refund claims, and damage and loss claims, and track each one to its status.
