Multi-vendor utility and demurrage bills overwhelming AP teams during peak inbound trucking seasons

Delayed approvals for spot rate payments to third-party logistics (3PL) partners, stalling carrier relationships

Paper-based tracking of container storage and detention fees leading to FMCSA compliance risks and audit penalties

Shorten cash conversion cycles by 15-20 days, vital in fluctuating diesel markets. Freed teams optimize intermodal routes, boosting overall throughput by 25%.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, our AP clerk spent 15 hours weekly reconciling 200+ invoices from regional trucking partners, often delaying pallet unloads. Now, it's just 2 hours, and we've recovered $12K in overbilled LTL rates this quarter. It's transformed operations at our Chicago hub."

Maria Gonzalez

Operations Manager, Midwest Logistics Hub (serving 50+ distribution centers)

"Handling 1,000+ pallet inflows monthly, manual matching to PODs was choking our cross-dock efficiency. AIQ's system integrated with our WMS in one night, saving 18 hours weekly and ensuring seamless payments to drayage suppliers during Q4 peaks. Full ROI in 2.5 months."

David Chen

Finance Director, Pacific Warehousing Co. (West Coast intermodal specialist)

"Demurrage and storage fee disputes with rail vendors delayed our month-end closes by 3-4 days each time. AIQ's automation auto-flags variances in detention charges, slashing resolution to under 6 hours—an 80% cut. Now, our team focuses on expanding our Eastern corridor network instead of chasing paperwork."

Common Questions

How does your invoice automation handle variable freight rates in warehousing?

Our custom AI analyzes historical data from your TMS to benchmark rates against invoices, flagging anomalies like unexpected surcharges on LTL shipments. For a typical warehouse, this prevents 15-20% of overbilling errors. We tailor the model to your routes and carriers, ensuring accuracy even with fluctuating fuel costs. Deployment includes testing on your past invoices for 95%+ match rates, with ongoing tweaks as market conditions change.

What integrations do you support for warehouse management systems?

We integrate deeply with popular WMS like Fishbowl, HighJump, and Manhattan, pulling receiving data to auto-validate invoices. This creates a single pipeline from dock receipt to payment, eliminating manual cross-checks. For example, if a pallet count mismatches, the system pauses approval and notifies the receiver. Our two-way APIs ensure real-time sync, reducing data silos that plague 70% of logistics ops, per industry surveys.

How quickly can we see ROI from this automation?

Most clients achieve break-even within 2-3 months, with full ROI by year-end. A mid-sized warehouse processing 500 invoices monthly saves $40K annually on labor alone, based on 20 hours/week reclaimed at $25/hour. We provide upfront projections using your volume data, tracking metrics like processing speed from day one. Unlike generic tools, our custom build aligns directly with your efficiency goals.

Is the system compliant with transportation regulations?

Absolutely. We embed DOT and FMCSA compliance features, such as immutable audit trails for invoice approvals and retention policies for freight documentation. For warehousing, this includes secure handling of HAZMAT-related bills. Our systems have passed audits for clients in regulated sectors, ensuring no gaps in record-keeping that could lead to fines. Security follows SOC 2 standards, protecting sensitive carrier data.

Can this scale with our growing warehouse operations?

Yes, designed for scalability. The AI handles volume spikes—like doubling invoices during peak shipping—without performance dips, using cloud-optimized architecture. We've scaled solutions for warehouses expanding from 50K to 200K sq ft, maintaining 99% uptime. As your ops grow, we add modules for new vendors or international freight, keeping everything unified and cost-effective.

What if we have legacy systems in place?

No problem—we specialize in bridging old and new. Whether it's an on-prem ERP or outdated Excel logs, our engineers create secure adapters to ingest data seamlessly. For instance, we once automated a 30-year-old warehouse system, cutting manual entry by 80% while preserving custom fields. The result? A modern AI layer on your existing setup, with minimal disruption and full ownership transfer.
