Detect, dispute, and resolve invalid detention, layover, and fuel surcharge fees from carrier invoices with advanced analytics.
How It Works
The process begins with data ingestion from multiple sources, including carrier invoices and historical billing data. The Accessorial Charge Auditor utilizes OCR technology to extract relevant fee information and captures essential details such as detention, layover, and fuel surcharge fees. This initial processing phase ensures that the data is structured for further analysis, which helps in identifying discrepancies quickly.
In the core analysis phase, the agent employs machine learning algorithms to assess the validity of the fees charged. By comparing the extracted data against predefined industry benchmarks and contractual agreements, the agent can score each fee for accuracy. This scoring mechanism highlights potential disputes, allowing users to focus on the most significant discrepancies that require attention.
The final output actions involve automated routing of disputed fees for resolution. The Accessorial Charge Auditor generates detailed reports and utilizes API integrations to communicate directly with carriers for dispute submission. Continuous improvement is achieved through feedback loops that refine the algorithms based on outcomes, ensuring higher accuracy in future audits.
