Pre-Pay Freight Audit

Auditing carrier invoices before payment leaves AP, blocking bad charges upstream instead of recovering them later.

Pre-pay freight audit sits before remittance. Teams validate invoice packets, hold exceptions, and only pay what clears. Post-pay audit recovers money after cash left — useful, but slower and relationship-heavy. Jorora Freight Audit is designed as a pre-pay gate for FTL PDF workflows.
