FREIGHT FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE

Northline Logic Platform

A modular freight intelligence and audit platform that ingests carrier data, normalizes it into a scalable data model, and automatically identifies refund opportunities, while giving you the tools and information to negotiate better rates for you and your customer.

Designed to replace and exceed traditional freight audit services by combining automated exception detection with transparent, client-ready audit outputs, executive summaries, and shipment data best used for negotiation.

Catch Billing Errors Automatically

Our system reviews every FedEx and UPS small parcel invoice to find duplicate charges, unshipped labels, late deliveries, service failures, and rate-validation errors based on your carrier contract terms. All of these exceptions are refundable by carriers.

Duplicate Charges Service Failures Late Deliveries Unshipped Labels

Negotiate Better Carrier Contracts

Know exactly what discounts you are getting, and what you should be getting. The system analyzes your shipping patterns, validates the agreed-upon surcharge discounts are applied correctly, and shows you where carriers aren't honoring your contract terms. It gives you easy to read tables broken down by zones, surcharges, service type, and all the data needed for negotiating better rates.

PLATFORM DEEP DIVE

Seven Core Pillars

Our platform is built on seven interconnected features designed to transform raw carrier data into financial strategy. Each pillar serves a specific purpose in helping you understand, optimize, and leverage your freight spending.

PILLAR 1

Automated Audit & Recovery

The "Cash Finder"

Designed to identify shipments where carriers made billing errors, failed to meet their service guarantee, or lost packages entirely. This automated system reviews every invoice line-by-line to find money you're owed—then handles the claims process to get it back.

PILLAR 2

Surcharge Intelligence

The "Fee Hunter"

Carrier invoices often hide 30% of their cost in "accessorial fees" buried in secondary columns. This feature exposes exactly which behaviors—residential shipping, fuel surcharges, incorrect labeling—are driving up costs.

The Logic:

Carrier CSVs are "wide" files with surcharge data spread across 20+ column pairs (Charge Description 1, Charge Amount 1, etc.). Our system dynamically iterates through every column pair, creates an aggregated ledger by fee name (e.g., "Residential Delivery," "Additional Handling"), and explicitly ignores standard charges to focus purely on avoidable penalties.

PILLAR 3

Packaging Efficiency

The "Air Audit"

Detects "Dimensional Weight" waste—money spent shipping empty space inside oversized boxes. Carriers bill for whichever is greater: actual weight or volumetric weight.

The Logic:

Our system compares Actual Weight (scale weight) vs. Rated Weight (volume-based) for every package. Shipments where rated weight significantly exceeds actual weight are flagged as "Inefficient"—indicating you're paying for air instead of product.

PILLAR 4

Sustainability Scorecard

The "Carbon Calculator"

Converts shipping data into a Scope 3 Emissions report—increasingly required for ESG compliance and corporate sustainability reporting. Track your carbon footprint by carrier, mode, and zone.

The Logic:

Since exact mileage is rarely provided in invoices, we use Zone Code (Zones 2–8) as a proxy for distance. Shipments are separated into Air (Overnight, Express, Priority) and Ground modes, with different emission factors applied to each category.

PILLAR 5

Negotiation Simulator

The "Strategy Engine"

Model future savings based on your actual data. This tool identifies where negotiation potential exists, lets you enter discount percentages, and instantly calculates annual savings in dollars.

Example:

If you spent $10,000 on "Residential Fees" last year and negotiate a 50% discount, the system instantly shows you a $5,000 annual saving. Run scenarios across multiple fee categories to build your negotiation strategy.

PILLAR 6

Address Validator

Pre-Ship Intelligence

Type in any address to instantly determine if it's classified as residential or commercial—and see all associated accessorial fees before you ship. Avoid surprise charges by knowing the true cost upfront.

PILLAR 7 - PREMIUM FEATURE

Revenue Protection Engine

The "Carrier Churn-Risk Index"

Built for CFOs, marketing teams, and business owners facing the "Carrier Contract Trap"—where large customers are pressured to waive refund rights. This feature bypasses the waiver by quantifying something carriers can't control: customer lifetime value (CLV) risk.

Traditional Audit:

"FedEx was late 5 times. You are owed $50 back."

Revenue Protection:

"FedEx was late 5 times. 3 were for 'Platinum Tier' customers. Two haven't re-ordered in 90 days. FedEx doesn't just owe you $50—they cost you $15,000 in LTV."

How It Works:

We connect to your Salesforce, Shopify, HubSpot, or CRM data to cross-reference carrier performance with customer loyalty metrics. When a carrier fails to deliver on time, we identify which customers were affected and calculate the downstream revenue impact.

The Strategic Advantage:

Carriers can waive your right to a refund—but they cannot waive your right to fire them. If you can prove a carrier is systematically failing your VIP customers, you don't ask for a refund. You move volume to a competitor. That's the leverage this gives you.
