The "Invoice Overload" Problem
Delayed freight invoice matching against Bills of Lading (BOLs) and warehouse receipts in intermodal shipments
Manual data entry errors in demurrage and detention calculations inflating storage and handling fees at terminals
Fragmented approvals for LTL carrier payments slowing disbursements and risking demurrage late fees
Inaccurate billing from cross-docking operations in distribution centers causing carrier disputes and chargebacks
Overwhelmed AP teams juggling multi-stop LTL shipment invoices with varying accessorial charges
Seasonal volume spikes in e-commerce fulfillment overwhelming manual processing for inbound container drayage invoices

As senior consultants with a proven track record in logistics AI, we've optimized AP for over 150 SMBs, reducing processing times by industry-leading benchmarks.
Why Choose Us
We craft custom AI systems that integrate directly with your warehouse management software, like WMS or TMS platforms. No more wrestling with one-size-fits-all tools that ignore your unique picking and packing flows. Our enterprise-grade solutions use advanced OCR and machine learning to extract data from diverse invoice formats—think handwritten carrier notes or digital EDI files. This creates a flexible, owned system that evolves with your operations, eliminating subscription dependencies and ensuring true efficiency in every dock door transaction.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency in Your Warehousing AP
Faster Carrier Payments Without Errors
Our custom AI matches freight invoices to inbound shipments via EDI integration in seconds, cutting reconciliation time from days to hours for 3PL providers. Warehouses report a 65% drop in disputes over BOL variances, freeing cash flow for reinvestment in fleet upgrades or expansion—proven in high-volume facilities handling 500+ SKUs daily across refrigerated and dry van trailers.
Optimized Cash Flow and Reduced Overheads
By automating approval chains for demurrage fees and accessorial labor charges in TMS platforms, you avoid late penalties that average $5,000 monthly in mid-sized 3PL operations. This tailored fit boosts your working capital by 20-30%, letting you negotiate better rates with ocean carriers while maintaining lean inventory turns in just-in-time supply chains.
Scalable Handling of Peak Season Volumes
Built for your exact workflow with WMS and EDI scalability, our system handles peak season volumes during Q4 e-commerce surges, processing 10x normal invoice loads from multi-stop LTL without added staff. Clients see a 50% reduction in overtime costs for dock workers, turning seasonal chaos into a smooth, predictable operation that keeps OTIF metrics above 95%.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team spent Fridays chasing mismatched invoices from cross-dock hauls in our Chicago hub—it was a nightmare with constant BOL discrepancies. Now, the custom system flags variances instantly via EDI pulls, and we've cut payment delays from two weeks to under 48 hours for our OTR drivers. Saved us about $12K in demurrage fees last quarter alone."
Marcus Hale
Operations Manager, Midwest Freight Logistics
"We handle temp-controlled warehousing for perishables like fresh produce in our Florida facilities, so invoice accuracy on reefer trailers is critical. Their AI integration with our WMS caught billing errors on 15% of shipments that our old manual process missed, including temp excursion surcharges. Processing time dropped from 10 days to 3, and our AP clerk finally gets weekends back without chasing detention claims."
Elena Torres
Finance Director, SwiftWare Distribution
"Juggling invoices from multiple LTL carriers was killing our efficiency during peak seasons at our Dallas distribution center. AIQ built a system that auto-pulls data from EDI feeds and routes approvals via mobile for our shift supervisors on the dock floor. Reduced errors by 40% in accessorial billing and helped us close the books a full week earlier this year, keeping our carrier relationships solid."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI handle varied invoice formats from different carriers?
Our custom AI uses machine learning trained on diverse logistics documents, from PDF freight bills to EDI 210s. We start by mapping your most common formats during discovery, then the system learns from your uploads to achieve 97% extraction accuracy. For a mid-sized warehouse, this means processing mixed-format batches without manual intervention, reducing errors that once led to overcharges on 20% of LTL shipments. Integration with your scanning hardware ensures it's all hands-free at the receiving dock.
What if our warehouse uses legacy WMS software?
We specialize in bridging old and new systems. Our engineers create robust API connectors that pull data from legacy platforms like legacy AS/400 setups common in established warehouses. No rip-and-replace needed—we've done this for clients with 20-year-old systems, automating invoice ties to inventory without downtime. The result? A unified flow where AP insights feed back into stock levels, cutting reconciliation time by half even in complex, multi-site operations.
How secure is the data in your invoice processing system?
Security is paramount in logistics, where invoices contain sensitive shipment details. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access, and audit logs that meet standards like GDPR and industry-specific compliance for supply chain data. For warehousing, this includes tamper-proof trails for every approval step, preventing fraud on high-value storage contracts. Clients in regulated sectors report zero breaches post-implementation, with our system hosting on secure, scalable clouds like AWS tailored to your volume.
Can this solution scale with our growing warehouse operations?
Absolutely—our architecture is designed for logistics growth. Starting from your current throughput, we implement modular AI that auto-scales during peaks, like holiday surges where invoice volumes double. We've scaled systems for warehouses expanding from 50K to 200K sq ft, maintaining sub-minute processing speeds. This flexibility means no retooling as you add routes or facilities; instead, the system adapts, optimizing costs that typically rise 30% with manual scaling.
What's the typical timeline for implementation?
For most warehousing clients, we deliver a fully operational system in 6-8 weeks. Week 1-2: Deep dive into your workflows. Weeks 3-5: Build and integrate with your tools. Weeks 6-8: Testing on live data and team training. This phased approach minimizes disruption— one client went live during their busy season with just two days of oversight. Post-launch, we provide 30 days of support to fine-tune, ensuring your AP cycles align perfectly with inventory rhythms.
How does this integrate with our existing accounting software?
We create deep, bidirectional integrations with platforms like QuickBooks, NetSuite, or SAP used in logistics. The AI pushes validated invoice data directly into your ledger, auto-generating entries for freight expenses or vendor credits. For a typical warehouse, this eliminates double-entry, syncing AP with GL in real-time. We've handled integrations for 50+ SMBs, reducing month-end variances from 5% to under 1%, so your financials reflect accurate dock-to-payment flows without manual exports.
