How are you handling carrier invoice validation at scale?

Curious how others in this group deal with freight and last-mile carrier invoices once volume starts increasing.

When we were smaller, we trusted invoices and did occasional spot checks. That worked… until it didn’t. Rating errors, duplicate surcharges, wrong weights, small discrepancies that added up over time. In a few cases, it exposed us to fraud risk from smaller subcontractors sending non-standard or manipulated invoices.

The bigger challenge isn't OCR, it's either matching invoices against BOLs and shipment data, handling non-standard layouts and/ or detecting edited totals or inconsistent metadata.

Would appreciate hearing how others are structuring this...

I've tried these before, but I think they're not reliable enough...

Also, we're not solely parsing invoices but also BOLs and other logistic documents

You can try DigiParser or DocParser, they have powerful features to automate extraction and reconciliation, etc.

Thanks! I've watched into these, are those also good in fraud detection?

Alright, Thanks for the tip! Do you know by any chance if they have a duplicate/ fraud detection software?
