Intelligent Audit vs TRANSWARE

Intelligent Audit provides freight and parcel invoice auditing, overpayment recovery, carrier payment services, transportation analytics, and optimization. Its audit process applies automated controls, configurable business rules, rate verification, and exception management to identify billing discrepancies; freight invoices are checked against more than 150 audit points. Supported operations include parcel, LTL, truckload, ocean, air, international, and intermodal transportation. The cloud-based, multi-tenant SaaS platform offers real-time reporting, dashboards, spend visibility, and custom ad hoc reports through i360a. DeepDetectAI uses machine learning to flag unusual shipping costs and data trends, explain likely causes, and send proactive alerts. The company says it connects with major carriers and customer ERP, TMS, and accounting systems through APIs and file exchange, and provides REST APIs for transportation, ERP, analytics, and data warehouse integrations. Security controls listed include AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit, SAML 2.0 single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and role-based access. Pricing is on request; eligible new customers may receive a free 90-day Catalyst trial.

TRANSWARE is VTM’s cloud-based freight management platform for freight audit, payment, rating, analytics, and claims. Its pre-payment invoice audits apply business rules to identify billing errors and support general-ledger coding. The rating engine uses a customer’s actual carrier rates to compare shipment costs and delivery estimates and identify a least-cost carrier. Users can work with standard dashboards and reports, custom metrics, and user-built reports. Claims tools cover creation, tracking, document collection, form generation, filing, and resolution. REST APIs support invoice status and workflow, invoice and carrier data, rates, least-cost carrier lookup, and loss-and-damage claims. VTM says it uses EDI with carriers whenever possible, and that over 90% of its processed transactions are EDI transaction sets. Carrier payments can use VTM’s check stock, ACH, the customer’s check stock, or a returned payment file, with foreign-currency options. TRANSWARE is available via web and API for shippers and freight carriers across modes. Pricing is on request. The TRANSWARE Claims trial lasts 30 days, requires no credit card, and is activated after VTM reviews the submitted information.
