ConData Parcel Audit
condata.com
What it is
ConData Parcel Audit reviews every parcel invoice against contracted rates, carrier tariffs and service agreements to identify overcharges and help reduce shipping costs. Its checks include residential delivery, dimensional weight, address corrections, peak surcharges and other fees. The audit looks for dimensional-weight inaccuracies, zone errors, discount failures, accessorial mischarges, service failures, duplicate charges and contract-rate deviations. ConData says it receives parcel data directly from carriers, then handles disputes, documentation and follow-through for identified overcharges. Reconciliation-ready reports show billed, contracted and recovered amounts. Findings feed analytics on surcharge trends, contract negotiations and parcel-spend optimization. The service is designed to operate alongside an existing pre-auditor or freight audit and payment provider. Connections to TMS, ERP, audit-and-payment systems and carrier portals use SFTP or API. Most integrations take four to eight weeks. Security controls listed include encrypted SFTP, role-based access, audits and penetration testing.
