Parcel invoice audits catch small, frequent billing errors that add up—especially during peak. Automation validates base rates, surcharges, and DIM weight across carriers, so finance spends time on claims, not manual checks. With Parabola, this process becomes scalable and repeatable.
A practical playbook for parcel invoice auditing
Pull weekly invoices and shipment files, then standardize columns like tracking ID, zone, service level, and package dimensions. Re‑rate each shipment against your contract to spot differences in base, fuel, and accessorial fees. Layer in rules for residential/commercial, Saturday delivery, and address corrections; then aggregate by carrier and service to quantify where overbilling occurs. Exception routes can create claim packets with evidence and automatically track status to closure.
Using Parabola as the orchestration layer gives you scheduled runs, alerting, and a clean export for AP, keeping cash flow predictable and audits defensible.
