About
Intelligent Audit is an enterprise-grade freight audit and payment platform that helps companies gain control over transportation costs through automation, AI-driven analytics, and expert professional services. At its core, the platform instantly identifies and resolves invoice discrepancies across parcel and freight shipments, enabling faster carrier payments and significant cost recovery. The flagship DeepDetectAI engine applies anomaly detection to flag unusual shipping patterns and root-cause issues before they escalate. Complementing this, a suite of self-serve modeling tools — including Network Optimization, Parcel Optimization, and Contract Comparison — empowers logistics teams to evaluate strategies, diversify carriers, and benchmark contracts without needing a data science background. Advanced Reporting & Analytics delivers SKU-level spend visibility, budget forecasting, and early issue flagging, while Contract Management consolidates all carrier agreements in one place with automated renewal alerts. Real-Time Visibility centralizes carrier tracking data for end-to-end shipment predictability. Streamlined carrier payments are handled via a TriumphPay integration that eliminates manual billing processes. For smaller shippers, Intelligent Audit offers Catalyst™ Quick Start, an accessible entry point into freight audit capabilities. On the services side, Strategic Sourcing, Contract Analysis, and Strategic Roadmapping provide expert guidance for building optimized carrier networks and long-term logistics plans. Ideal for mid-market to enterprise shippers, 3PLs, and supply chain finance teams looking to reduce waste, improve carrier relationships, and make data-driven shipping decisions.
