Industrial freight invoices arrive at every plant, every day. Plant teams approve in volume without scrutiny. DIM weight errors, NMFC misclassification, accessorial drift, and duplicate billing compound at scale across manufacturing networks. Freehand audits 100% of freight invoices before plant teams ever see them.
Carriers measure DIM weight using their own methods. Plant teams approve without recalculation.
Industrial freight classes drift in carrier billing. Manual audit misses NMFC changes.
