Audit outcomes

What you'll find

The AI processes your Freightview data to surface these specific insights.

COST

Identify pricing outliers

The AI compares historical quotes to find where rates have spiked or where you're overpaying compared to your usual lanes.

NETWORK

Verify carrier coverage

Check your active carrier list to ensure your preferred partners are still correctly represented in your system.

GAP

Spot missing quotes

Find lanes where you lack sufficient quote history to negotiate better rates with your existing carriers.

HUMAN

Manual rate negotiation

The AI flags the specific discrepancies, but you handle the actual conversations with carriers to fix the rates.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI uses specific Freightview tools to pull the numbers you need for an audit.
