What is Freight Audit Automation?
Freight audit automation verifies carrier invoices against tendered rates, contracts, and accessorial agreements before they get paid. Modern platforms ingest invoices via EDI or OCR, match line-by-line against expected charges, flag exceptions, and route clean invoices to settlement. They typically recover 1-5% of freight spend in the first year through caught overcharges and duplicates.
