title: "How to audit freight invoices with AI"
description: "Start from your carrier rate agreements, quotes, shipment records, delivery confirmations and past disputes. AI can read each carrier invoice, match it to the shipment and the agreed rate, and flag charges that differ, extra fees with no supporting note, weights or distances that do not match, and invoices billed twice. The accounts payable team checks each flag, disputes errors with the carrier, and only approved invoices are paid."

# How can a shipping or logistics team use AI to check carrier invoices against agreed rates, so billing errors are caught before they are paid?
Start from your carrier rate agreements, quotes, shipment records, delivery confirmations and past disputes. AI can read each carrier invoice, match it to the shipment and the agreed rate, and flag charges that differ, extra fees with no supporting note, weights or distances that do not match, and invoices billed twice. The accounts payable team checks each flag, disputes errors with the carrier, and only approved invoices are paid.
## What this means in practice
- Use rate agreements, quotes, shipment records and delivery confirmations as the source
- Match each carrier invoice to its shipment and the agreed rate
- Flag rate differences, unsupported extra fees and weight or distance mismatches
- Catch invoices billed twice and charges for shipments not delivered
- Accounts payable checks each flag, disputes errors and approves what is paid
## How Lid Vizion approaches it
We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
