1. Freight Audit and Payment

Freight Audit and Payment represents the “Financial Integrity” layer of your business holdings. We move beyond simple “bill paying” to delivering Surgical Cost Recovery. By synchronizing AI-powered invoice extraction with 2026 Smart Contract validation—essential for managing the complex, multi-modal billing of the 2026 Miss Universe project and King Services’ remediation logistics—we ensure you never overpay for a mile of transport.

Automated Bill Review & Validation: The Precision Guardrail

1. 1. • The Depth: we move from “manual spot-checks” to 100% Touchless Audit. In 2026, we utilize AI models trained on millions of global shipping documents to extract data with 99%+ accuracy. For your multi-entity structure, this involves automatically matching every carrier invoice against your original Xactimate estimates, international broadcast contracts, and actual GPS tracking data to flag discrepancies in base rates, fuel surcharges, and accessorial fees.
      • The Outcome: Verified Financial Accuracy. You gain a 1–5% direct cost recovery on total freight spend, identifying “invisible” overcharges that typically erode 2026 profit margins by thousands per month.

Dispute Management & Resolution: The Recovery Engine

1. 1. • The Defense: A flagged error is only valuable if it’s resolved; we architect Dispute-Ready Evidence Portals. We move beyond “email tag” with carriers to delivering Automated Claim Submission. This includes:
        • Accessorial Scrubbing: Automatically challenging misapplied fees (e.g., liftgate, detention, or residential surcharges) which, in 2026, account for the highest volume of overcharges.
        • Duplicate Detection: Utilizing “Zero-Error” logic to prevent double-billing, a common occurrence in complex broker hand-offs for international projects.
        • Carrier Scorecarding: Mapping dispute data back to carrier performance to provide you with “Hard-Data” leverage during annual rate negotiations.
      • The Outcome: Hardened Cash-Flow Protection. You receive a 5–8% improvement in historical overpayment recovery, satisfying the most rigorous 2026 fiduciary standards.

Payment Optimization & BI Reporting: The Intelligence Shield

1. 1. • The Defense: We believe in “Balanced Liquidity”; we architect Strategic Payment Schedules. We move beyond “payment cycles” to delivering Working Capital Optimization. In 2026, we focus on:
        • Automated GL Coding: Ensuring every freight dollar is correctly allocated to the right project or entity (Praxis vs. King Services) for real-time margin visibility.
        • Dynamic Discount Capture: Utilizing automated workflows to secure “Early-Payment Discounts,” which in 2026 can boost capture rates from 58% to over 90%.
        • Landed Cost Analytics: Providing a definitive view of the “Total Cost” of your international logistics, essential for accurately pricing your services to sponsors and clients.
      • The Outcome: Maximized Operational Maturity. You gain a “Board-Ready” view of your logistics spend, allowing for predictive cost forecasting with up to 95% accuracy.
