Freight invoice audit software for brokers and 3PLs
Traditional freight bill audit and payment is built for huge shippers. Brokers and 3PLs have the same overcharge problem and far fewer tools aimed at them.
Enterprise FBAP vs. broker/3PL audit
Freight Bill Audit & Payment (FBAP) incumbents focus on enterprise shippers and large-scale payment processing. If you're a broker or 3PL, you want overcharge detection wired into the documents and workflow you already run — not an enterprise payment program.
What good overcharge audit does
- Reads every vendor invoice, not a sample
- Compares charges against historical rates, labor norms, and service patterns
- Flags price anomalies, duplicate charges, and repeat repairs
- Keeps fuel and accessorials separate, matching freight billing
- Tracks per-unit cost so you see what each truck or asset costs
The combined advantage
Because Cargotek already extracts your freight documents, audit isn't a separate system — the same platform that reads the invoice checks it against history. Extraction and overcharge audit in one logistics-native place.
What is freight invoice auditing?
Reviewing vendor and carrier invoices to catch overcharges, duplicate charges, and billing errors before payment — ideally by comparing each invoice against historical rates and service patterns rather than spot-checking.
Is freight audit only for large shippers?
No. Enterprise freight bill audit and payment providers focus on large shippers, but brokers and 3PLs have the same overcharge exposure. Cargotek brings overcharge auditing to broker/3PL workflows alongside document extraction.
