Frequently asked questions
How is this different from FAP outsourcing?
BPO takes a cut forever. We build the engine in your stack so recovery and data stay yours. Start with one high-volume carrier set.
How long does it take to ship freight invoice audit?
Most freight invoice audit mandates target a 6–10 week production deploy after a short diagnostic. Week one locks the KPI (cost) and data sources; we redirect if a simpler path wins.
Do we have to replace our existing systems?
No. We orchestrate against the systems you already run. The first mandate is freight invoice audit AI in your stack, not a platform rip-and-replace.
How is this different from buying another SaaS tool for 3PL & Freight Brokerages?
You own the code, evals, and models in your cloud. SaaS adds another login; we ship a production workflow your team operates with the Production Standard contracted in writing.
How is this different from outsourcing freight audit and pay?
BPO takes a cut of recovery forever. We build the audit engine in your TMS/ERP so you keep the recovery and the data. Start with one high-volume carrier set.
We already have a TMS. Why do we need this?
Most TMS products execute freight. They do not validate invoices against the contract with exception ranking. That gap is where margin leaks.
The Production Standard
The Production Standard
Six commitments contracted in writing on every engagement.
01
Deploy or redirect
If AI isn't the right tool, we say so in week one and redirect budget to what will ship. No POC theater.
02
Metrics before models
Business KPIs locked in discovery. Model selection follows the metric, not the hype cycle.
03
Governance from day one
Model cards, access controls, evaluation harnesses, and audit trails, not a compliance bolt-on at go-live.
04
Production artifacts
Deployed code, monitoring dashboards, CI/CD pipelines, and incident runbooks. Not recommendations for someone else to implement.
05
6-week production target
Scoped projects designed for production in 6–10 weeks. Boutiques move; global programs wait for steering committees.
06
Capability transfer
Your team can operate, extend, and maintain what we build. IP and documentation transfer is included, not upsold.
Every scoped project includes a production deliverable checklist signed off before close. If we can't commit to deployable output, we won't take the engagement.
