Unity SCM Launches UnityAudit: AI-Powered Freight Audit Engine That Catches Overcharges Before You Pay Them

New offering unlocks hidden savings in global shipping spend by leveraging AI.

August 11, 2025

UnitySCM, the data versatility platform for global supply chains, today announced the launch of UnityAudit, an AI-powered freight audit agent designed to help global shippers and logistics service providers automate freight audit, prevent overcharges, and recover savings with minimal operational lift.

Built on UnitySCM’s unified platform and leveraging agentic AI capabilities to automate complex, multi-step tasks — like parsing data, auditing charge codes against contracts, cross-referencing shipment details, initiating disputes, and tracking resolution — UnityAudit transforms complex logistics data, including  tracking, contracts, shipment records, and invoices from fragmented and siloed sources  into actionable financial intelligence.

Because Unity already normalizes and unifies data from carriers, freight forwarders, TMS, and ERP systems, UnityAudit begins with clean, connected data, eliminating the integration hurdles that often slow down traditional audit processes. This makes UnityAudit format-agnostic and highly flexible, enabling it to handle the messy realities of freight billing, such as non-standard charge codes, forwarder pass-through invoices, and fragmented information. The result is immediate value: automated savings, audit-driven accountability, and clean data that fuels smarter operations downstream.

“UnityAudit is the fastest way to see real ROI from your supply chain data,” said Amir Taichman, CEO of Unity SCM. “Companies are routinely overcharged by as much as 10 percent on their freight spend. UnityAudit not only finds that money, it helps get it back for you.”

“Our platform unifies siloed data and applies customer-specific institutional knowledge to power an AI audit agent that flags billing errors, manages disputes, and ensures you never overpay a carrier,” added Kevin Cordeiro, VP of Product. 

Why Audit, Why Now

Overcharges and billing discrepancies cost shippers and logistics service providers as much as 10% of their annual freight spend yet many organizations lack the resources to effectively audit invoices or dispute claims. UnityAudit solves this with an AI-driven service that delivers immediate ROI and is flexible enough to fit any operational model.

What Makes UnityAudit Different? 

UnityAudit is an autonomous freight audit agent that checks 100% of invoices before payment, validating every charge against shipment milestones, contracted rates, and agreed terms. It detects overcharges in real time, automatically compiles dispute packages, and tracks resolution through credit receipt.

Unlike traditional audit services that require manual review or post-payment recovery, UnityAudit prevents funds from leaving your account in the first place. Its AI agents continuously learn from carrier billing patterns, adapting rules to improve detection accuracy and reduce future disputes. For example, if a carrier bills a peak season surcharge outside the contract window, UnityAudit flags it before payment and triggers a dispute with all necessary supporting documentation.

Seamless integration with your accounts payable workflow ensures that only validated charges are approved, eliminating overpayment risk while providing clean, auditable data for finance, procurement, and operations.

It also integrates directly into accounts payable workflows and systems, ensuring that:

  • Only validated charges are approved for payment
  • Overcharges are stopped before funds are disbursed
  • Credited amounts are properly tracked and received

Benefits include:

  • Identifying, disputing and recovering as much as 10% of freight spend lost to overcharges
  • Automating manual audit processes and eliminating internal burden
  • Improving carrier billing compliance over time
  • Measuring carrier performance KPIs (e.g., billing accuracy, dispute frequency) that support smarter contract negotiations

Whether you're a global shipper or a logistics service provider seeking better financial oversight, UnityAudit offers a faster, smarter, and more autonomous way to control freight spend.

While manual audits catch only a fraction of invoices, disputes drag on for weeks, and recoveries often go untracked, UnityAudit reviews 100% of invoices in real time, disputes charges instantly, and reconciles credits automatically, all powered by AI agents that continually learn to work faster, smarter, and more efficiently at scale.
