Invoice audit for brands that use a 3PL

Your 3PL overbilled you last month. Prove it.

Send us the contract and one invoice. We price the month against the clause you signed and hand you the claim. The first audit is free.

One clause, one monthReceiving fees

Receiving: $1.25 per carton up to 200, $0.95 per carton thereafter. This month: 320 cartons.

How it works

Three steps. The last one is the letter.

  1. Send the contract and one invoice

    The PDF you signed and last month’s bill. We read the rate card and show you every line, each carrying the quote it came from.

  2. Say what the warehouse handled

    Orders, cartons, pallets, returns. Typed in is fine, and a finding that rests on a typed figure says so.

  3. Get the findings and the claim

    The engine prices the month line by line and writes the letter. You send it from your own inbox.

A finding in the product: “Volume tier applied wrongly”, plus $36.00. Expected $364.00, billed $400.00, with the invoice line, the rate card line it was compared against and the measured activity listed underneath as evidence.
A real finding, from the example month. The last line is the product marking its own uncertainty: the figure it rests on was typed in by hand, so it is not a dispute yet.

What you send

The letter, already written.

Written for someone in accounts receivable who has never heard of us. It ends by asking them to correct us if the figures are wrong.

The flat-fee auditors

$1,000a month, minimum

A fee that scales with your shipping volume.

  • No ceiling — that is the floor.
  • The only other model that audits 3PL invoices and publishes a number. It starts at double our monthly cap.

The contingency auditors

25–50%of recovery

No monthly fee. Five of the six that publish a price work this way.

  • No ceiling. A good month costs you more, in proportion.
  • Mostly parcel refunds, not 3PL fulfilment invoices.

Start with last month’s invoice.

One contract, one invoice, and the month it covers. That is the whole setup.

Audit my first invoice

“Won’t this annoy my 3PL?”

It is an administrative correction, not an accusation. The letter is written for someone in accounts receivable, and it closes by asking them to correct us if our figures are wrong.

“Which 3PLs do you support?”

All of them. There is nothing to integrate. It reads the contract and the invoice you were already sent, so your provider is never told you are checking.

“What if it finds nothing?”

Then your 3PL is billing you correctly and you now have a way to prove it. That is worth something too, particularly at renewal.
