Freight Audit Validator
Overview
The Freight Audit Validator is an automated skill that validates freight bills and invoices, detects discrepancies, and streamlines payment processing. It uses OCR, data extraction, and contract validation to ensure accurate carrier payments while identifying cost recovery opportunities from billing errors.
Capabilities
- Invoice Data Extraction (OCR): Automatically extract invoice data from paper and electronic documents using optical character recognition
- Contract Rate Validation: Verify billed rates against contracted rates, tariffs, and pricing agreements
- Accessorial Charge Verification: Validate accessorial charges against service records and approved charge schedules
- Weight and Dimension Validation: Cross-reference billed weights and dimensions with shipping documents and actual measurements
- Duplicate Invoice Detection: Identify and flag potential duplicate invoices to prevent double payments
- Discrepancy Classification: Categorize billing discrepancies by type, root cause, and financial impact
- Claim Generation Automation: Automatically generate claims and dispute documentation for invalid charges
Tools and Libraries
- OCR Engines (Tesseract, ABBYY)
- EDI Parsers (X12 210, 214)
- Freight Audit Platforms
- Document Management APIs
Used By Processes
