AI-powered freight audit & payment

AI-powered freight audit & payment

for logistics and finance teams

Manually verifying Proof of Delivery documents is a major bottleneck in the freight payment cycle. Accounts Payable teams must manually compare each POD against the original bill of lading and the freight invoice to confirm that the shipment was delivered as agreed. This slow process delays carrier payments, makes it difficult to dispute charges, and requires significant manual effort.
