What Freehand's Logistics Software Does Across the Finance Lifecycle

Freehand's AI logistics software executes the full logistics finance lifecycle autonomously   from invoice approval through GL coding, accrual maintenance, carrier sourcing, and ERP disbursement. Each agent owns a distinct step so nothing sits in a queue.

Straight-Through Payment Processing

Approved logistics invoices move directly into the payment workflow. No queues. No manual steps between invoice approval and ERP disbursement. Payments go out on time, every cycle.

GL Coding & Cost Allocation

The GL Coding Agent assigns cost centers, GL accounts, and business units based on rules mapped to your chart of accounts. Complex logistics cost splits across divisions, brands, and geographies handled at invoice time, accurately.

Real-Time Logistics Accruals

Logistics costs are accrued at tender and updated as shipments move. The Accrual & Forecast Agent reconciles actuals against accruals when invoices arrive. Finance has a live view of logistics liability at any point in the month.

ERP Payment Disbursement

The Payment Orchestration Agent generates payment files in your ERP's required format and pushes them directly to SAP, Oracle Cloud ERP, Oracle JDE, or NetSuite via native connectors.

Logistics Spend Intelligence

The Spend Intelligence Agent classifies every logistics payment by mode, carrier, cost center, and charge type, giving Finance a single, finance-grade view of logistics spend across the business.

Duplicate & Anomaly Detection

The Anomaly Detection Agent blocks duplicate submissions across PRO and BOL variants before disbursement. Every payment is backed by a complete audit trail   invoice, shipment, rate, approval, and payment record.
