Brokers need different software than shippers

Broker desks live in rate confirmations, carrier invoices, and exception email. Your audit tool should speak that language — not generic OCR dashboards.

Evaluation criteria that matter

When you demo vendors, score them on desk reality — not slideware. These criteria separate useful tools from OCR toys.

  • Rules-first decisions (Approve / Review / Reject) with explanations
  • Duplicate invoice / PRO gates
  • Credit model that does not charge failed extractions
  • Works from PDFs without a TMS mandate
  • Human control — AI assists, it does not wire money
