Freight Audit and Pay,
Before the Invoice
We audit the load while it is still moving
Conventional freight audit and pay (FPA) works from the invoice, because the invoice is the document it receives. Live Audit checks parcel, LTL and truckload shipments in transit and raises the discrepancy with the carrier before a final invoice is ever produced — while they can still look it up, and while you still have leverage.
What is live freight audit?
Live freight audit is freight audit and pay run during the shipment instead of after it. A conventional FPA process compares a carrier invoice against a contract once the load is already delivered and billed, so every finding becomes a dispute over a document both sides have to reconstruct. Live Audit watches the load as it moves, so a reweigh, a reclass, an accessorial or a service failure is caught while the carrier can still verify it — and the correction happens before the invoice is cut, not after it is paid.
Audited in transit
Every shipment is checked as it moves — weight, class, accessorials, service level. We level set with the carrier while the freight is still on their dock and the details are still verifiable, not months later from a scanned bill.
Root cause, not just a variance
The system tells you why the number moved, then applies your rules for what to do about it. The resolution logic was written by people who spent their careers arguing these charges with carriers, not inferred from a rate table.
Notified the moment it happens
A discrepancy notifies whoever manages that freight instantly and opens the correction workflow with it. The chase runs on its own, around the clock, instead of waiting on somebody to work a variance report.
Keep the provider you have
Live Audit runs upstream of settlement, so it works alongside whoever pays your freight bills today. Use our interface, wire it in over the API, or port the audit on its own into the TMS you already run.
How the audit runs
Three steps, all of them finished before the invoice shows up:
1. Connect
Sync your data (shipments, rates, contracts, APIs, documents). Set up audit logic with our easy onboarding.
2. Detect
The system continuously checks each load for errors and missing info as soon as it’s booked or updated.
3. Resolve
The discrepancy goes back to the carrier while the load is still in their hands, and the correction lands before billing. Settlement then gets a bill that is already right.
