Are You Really Getting What You Paid For?
Carrier billing is complex. General Rate Increases change annually. Fuel surcharges fluctuate weekly. Accessorials have hundreds of variations. Zone exceptions hide in contract fine print. Manual auditing is impossible—you're dealing with thousands of line items across hundreds of invoices every month.
Complex, Unreadable Invoices
Hundreds of line items, cryptic codes, buried charges
Clear, Actionable Insights
Every charge validated, every overcharge identified, every dollar recovered
The Hidden Cost: Without contract-based auditing, you're likely overpaying by 5-15% of your total shipping spend. For a company spending $1 million annually, that's $50,000 to $150,000 left on the table every year.
Know the Difference: Full Audit vs Partial Audit
Not all audits are created equal. Here's why Full Audit uncovers 3-5x more savings.
Partial Audit
What most "free" auditors offer
- Checks for obvious service failures (late deliveries)
- Identifies duplicate charges
- No contract analysis—they don't have your contract
- Can't verify negotiated rates or exceptions
- Misses contract-specific overcharges
Typical recovery range
Full Audit
Stride Datus contract-based approach
- Digital Twin of your carrier contract
- Every invoice line validated against your contract terms
- Catches GRI cap violations, accessorial waivers, zone exceptions
- Verifies fuel surcharge calculations match your terms

Hidden Contract Violations
The Key Difference: Partial audits only see the tip of the iceberg—obvious errors. Full Audit dives deep into your contract terms, uncovering hidden overcharges that partial audits miss because they don't have access to your negotiated rates, exceptions, and waivers.
Beyond the Obvious: What a Stride Datus Full Audit Reveals
These contract-specific overcharges are invisible to partial audits. Your Digital Twin catches them all.
GRI Cap Compliance
Did your carrier apply a higher General Rate Increase than your contract allowed? Your contract may cap GRIs at 4.5%, but carriers often apply the full 5.9% increase. Full Audit catches this violation.
Accessorial Waivers
Are you being charged for services (Address Correction, Residential Delivery, Additional Handling) that your contract waives? These fees add up quickly. Partial audits can't check waivers—they don't have your contract.
Dimensional Weight Factor
Is the carrier using an unfavorable dim factor instead of your negotiated one? A difference of 139 vs 166 can mean thousands in overcharges. Your Digital Twin verifies every calculation.
Fuel Surcharge Logic
Is the complex fuel surcharge calculation truly adhering to your custom terms? Carriers use different formulas, and errors are common. Full Audit validates every fuel surcharge against your contract formula.
Zonal Exceptions
Are you being billed for higher zones than agreed upon for specific lanes? Your contract may have zone exceptions for high-volume routes. Partial audits can't verify these—only Full Audit with your Digital Twin can.
Service Level Downgrades
Were you charged for a premium service when a slower, cheaper service was actually delivered? Carriers sometimes bill for Express but deliver Ground. Full Audit cross-references service levels with delivery dates.
