The problem

Freight invoicing is notorious for discrepancies between manifested estimates and carrier bills. Logistics and finance teams struggle to reconcile scattered tariffs, reweigh adjustments, and disputed accessorial fees without a clear trail of evidence.

What it does

• Organizes carrier agreements, rate cards, and manifests into a traceable chronology.
• Reconciles billed populations against shipper manifests to identify missing or duplicate shipments.
• Classifies adjustments like reweighs, reclassifications, and detention fees based on supplied evidence.
• Builds neutral arithmetic scenarios for base rates, fuel surcharges, and accessorials.
• Surfaces gaps in documentation, such as missing scale tickets or unallocated credits.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

This skill enforces a strict neutral role, preventing the LLM from making unauthorized legal or financial decisions. It follows a structured 25-step workflow that ensures every identifier and charge category is preserved and categorized, rather than just netting totals.

Use cases

• Preparing a recovery packet for disputed parcel or LTL overcharges.
• Auditing fuel surcharge applications against contractual index lags.
• Reconciling multi-piece shipment identifiers to identify true duplicate billings.
• Gathering evidence for internal procurement or accounts-payable reviews.
