The "Invoice Delays" Problem
Manual data entry from driver fuel and toll receipts in ELD systems slows down reimbursements and frustrates your OTR fleet, leading to 20-30% driver turnover in high-mileage routes
Inconsistent EDI formats from vendors like TA Truck Stops and Ryder maintenance shops create processing bottlenecks in your TMS (Transportation Management System)
Delayed approvals for multi-stop LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) route expenses, including cross-dock handling fees, lead to cash flow strains during peak Q4 delivery seasons
Error-prone matching of vendor invoices to POD (Proof of Delivery) manifests in multi-leg hauls risks overpayments and FMCSA compliance fines up to $16,000 per violation
Fragmented tracking of cross-dock fees, demurrage charges, and inter-depot fuel surcharges hampers accurate cost allocation across your regional distribution network
Seasonal volume spikes in parcel invoices from e-commerce surges overwhelm small dispatch teams, delaying month-end route profitability analysis by 10-15 days

With over a decade in logistics AI, we've empowered 50+ courier firms to reclaim efficiency, drawing on proven frameworks that handle everything from urban last-mile to long-haul parcel flows.
Why Choose Us
One-size-fits-all tools falter in the fast-paced world of courier services, where invoices arrive as crumpled receipts or digital manifests mid-route. We build enterprise-grade AI systems from the ground up, custom-fitted to your workflow. Think of it as engineering a precision GPS for your finances: it scans, validates, and routes invoice data seamlessly into your TMS and accounting software. No more sifting through piles of fuel dockets or chasing approvals for overtime claims. Our solutions integrate deeply with your dispatch systems, automating approvals based on route parameters and vendor histories, ensuring your cash flow moves as swiftly as your fleet.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency Gains Built for Your Routes
Accelerate Driver Reimbursements
Accelerate Driver Reimbursements: Process expense claims from fuel cards and per diem logs 70% faster, reducing wait times from 5-7 days to under 24 hours. This keeps OTR drivers motivated and on the road, minimizing downtime in high-volume urban last-mile deliveries where every minute counts for meeting 2-hour SLA windows.
Optimize Cash Flow for Peak Seasons
Optimize Cash Flow for Peak Seasons: Cut invoice processing costs by 50% through automated EDI parsing, freeing up capital for fleet expansions like adding 50 new reefers. In logistics, where Black Friday surges can double LTL volumes, our AI ensures timely payments to carriers, preventing disruptions in just-in-time supply chains.
Enhance Accuracy and Compliance
Enhance Accuracy and Compliance: Reduce errors by 85% with AI validation against FMCSA HOS (Hours of Service) and IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement) standards. For 3PL providers juggling multi-state routes with hazmat loads, this means fewer DOT audits and penalties up to $10,000, turning potential headaches into seamless, audit-ready operations.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team spent Fridays buried in invoice stacks from 200 daily LTL routes across the Midwest. Now, the custom AI handles 90% automatically via TMS integration, and we've shaved two full days off our AP cycle. It's like having an extra dispatcher for finance during peak e-commerce rushes."
Maria Gonzalez
Operations Manager, SwiftParcel Couriers (Midwest Regional LTL Provider)
"We run inter-city hubs with variable EDI invoices from vendors that always mismatched our TMS POD data. Their solution integrated everything flawlessly – no more manual cross-checks on multi-stop manifests. Last quarter, we saved $15K in overpayments on fuel and toll reimbursements alone."
Raj Patel
Finance Director, MetroLink Express (National 3PL Network)
"Peak season used to mean overtime just for AP on our urban fleet invoices. This AI system flags anomalies in real-time, like unusual E-ZPass toll fees on long-haul routes from NJ to PA. We've cut processing time from 15 hours to under 4 per week, and drivers get reimbursed faster to maintain low turnover."
Lisa Chen
CFO, UrbanDash Logistics (East Coast Last-Mile Courier)

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI handle handwritten driver notes on receipts?
Our custom OCR models are trained on logistics-specific handwriting patterns, common in quick-scribbled fuel or toll notes during routes. We achieve 95% accuracy by combining computer vision with NLP to interpret context, like matching 'tolls I-95' to GPS data. This integrates directly into your workflow, auto-populating fields in your TMS without manual re-entry. For courier services, this means faster processing of on-road expenses, reducing errors that could inflate your per-parcel costs by 10-15%. We've fine-tuned this for real scenarios, like urban deliveries where notes are often rushed.
Can this solution integrate with our existing TMS software?
Absolutely. We build deep, two-way API integrations with popular TMS platforms like Oracle Transportation or SAP TM, pulling in delivery manifests and route data to validate invoices automatically. Unlike off-the-shelf tools with shallow connections, our custom code ensures bidirectional sync – for instance, updating AP status back to your dispatch system for real-time visibility. This eliminates silos, cutting manual verification time by 60% for multi-stop routes. In one deployment for a regional courier, this integration resolved 200+ mismatches monthly, streamlining end-to-end operations without disrupting daily dispatches.
What about compliance for interstate courier regulations?
Compliance is core to our design. We embed checks for FMCSA, IFTA, and state-specific rules, automatically validating deductible expenses like fuel surcharges or mileage logs against regulatory thresholds. The AI flags non-compliant items, such as unverified cross-state fees, before approval, reducing audit risks by 80%. For couriers operating across borders, this means generating ready-to-file reports that align with DOT filings. Our systems are built with encryption and audit trails, ensuring data security for sensitive shipment details. Clients report fewer IRS queries post-implementation, saving hours on compliance prep during tax season.
How quickly can we see ROI from this invoice processing system?
Most clients see measurable ROI within 3-6 months, with immediate wins like 50% faster processing reducing labor costs by $5K-$10K quarterly for mid-sized couriers. By automating 80% of routine tasks, you reclaim staff time for strategic route planning. In a recent project, a 150-driver fleet cut AP errors by 75%, avoiding $20K in overpayments annually. Long-term, it optimizes cash flow, enabling better vendor negotiations and fleet investments. We provide benchmarks tailored to your volume, tracking metrics like days payable outstanding to quantify gains from day one.
Is the system scalable for growing courier operations?
Yes, our architecture is designed for scalability, handling volume spikes from 500 to 5,000 invoices monthly without added costs or slowdowns. Using cloud-native frameworks, it auto-scales based on delivery peaks, like e-commerce surges. For expanding networks, we incorporate modular features, such as adding depots or new vendor types seamlessly. One client scaled from 20 to 50 routes in six months, with the AI adapting via minimal reconfiguration. This future-proofs your investment, supporting growth without the 'subscription chaos' of layering more tools, keeping your operations efficient as your fleet expands.
What data security measures are in place for invoice information?
Security is paramount in logistics, where invoices contain sensitive route and client data. We use AES-256 encryption for all data at rest and in transit, with role-based access controls limiting views to authorized personnel. Compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and industry standards like PCI-DSS ensures protection against breaches. Our systems include anomaly detection to alert on unusual access patterns, vital for couriers handling high-value parcels. Regular penetration testing and SOC 2 certification mean your financial data is fortified like a secure depot. In practice, this has prevented data leaks for clients in competitive urban markets, maintaining trust with partners.
