How FreightOptics Catches What Others Miss

FreightOptics applies machine learning to every invoice, identifying rate discrepancies, accessorial errors, and contract non-compliance in real time. Models trained on millions of transactions recognize subtle billing patterns that rules-based audits overlook, improving with each recovery outcome.

The platform supports all transportation modes, including parcel, LTL, truckload, ocean, rail, and air freight, giving shippers a single solution to manage complex, multi-modal billing across their entire supply chain.

Full-Cycle Recovery and Payment Automation

When FreightOptics identifies an error, the platform automatically generates claims and routes them through the dispute process. Zero Down's spend specialists manage carrier disputes, maximizing recovery rates while freeing up internal resources. On the payment side, FreightOptics consolidates all freight payments into a single weekly process. Carriers are paid accurately and on time, protecting shipper-of-choice status and eliminating late fees. Automated GL coding routes freight costs to the correct ledger codes and business units.

From Invoice Data to Strategic Advantage

Beyond cost recovery, FreightOptics transforms invoice data into actionable intelligence. The platform provides real-time accruals, spend analytics, and carrier performance tracking, giving finance and logistics teams full budgetary visibility. This data also powers carrier contract optimization. Armed with actual performance metrics, shippers can negotiate more favorable terms and hold carriers accountable. Combined with Zero Down's other transportation spend management services, including freight claims management, packaging optimization, and duty drawback, companies gain a complete view of their logistics costs and untapped savings.
