FAP vendors (e.g. Cass-class providers) serve shipper-scale multimodal spend with managed audit and payment rails. Broker desks buying self-serve pre-pay PDF validation are solving a different job — do not confuse the categories when evaluating software.
FAP is typically post-pay or managed-pay for large shippers. Pre-pay freight audit for brokers is a control that sits on the desk before cash leaves. If your buyer is a freight broker or 3PL AP team drowning in email PDFs, FAP RFPs are usually the wrong category — compare against pre-pay validation tools instead.
