Error Classification

Every error classified by type, carrier, and dollar impact.

Not all billing errors are equal. Cubesite categorises every flag by error type such as rate mismatch, detention excess, duplicate charge, accessorial deviation, so teams can prioritise disputes by impact.

Rate card mismatches identified at line-item level with contract reference
Detention overcharges flagged with free-time window verification
Duplicate invoices detected across carriers and shipment legs
Accessorial charges validated against contract scope

Live Audit View

A single audit interface for Finance, Ops, and AP.

Every invoice is visible in a structured audit dashboard with flagged status, expected vs billed amounts, dispute amount, and transaction status all in one view. Finance approves clean invoices with confidence.

Real-time audit queue sorted by highest dispute amount first
Flagged / approved / under-review status per invoice
Dispute transaction tracking from open draft to carrier confirmed
One-click access to the full evidence package for any flagged invoice

Freight audit

Freight exceptions, sorted by highest dispute amount first.
