The challenge
Transport invoices have a long-standing reputation for inaccuracy
-
3–12% contain billing errors
-
Surcharges can represent up to 40% of total cost
-
Validation is often partial or sample-based
-
Small discrepancies accumulate into significant overspend
-
Limited visibility means limited control
Unchecked overcharges quickly become structural costs
Our solution
Full, line-by-line invoice validation. No shortcuts.
We independently verify every shipment, every charge, and every surcharge against your contracts, rate cards, and operational data — ensuring complete accuracy and full cost transparency.
Our work goes beyond spotting individual errors.
We establish a structured, repeatable validation process that gives you reliable data, documented evidence, and clear actions to improve transport costs over time.
