AI freight agents · launching for pilot customers

Every freight invoice has a hidden overcharge.
CostClaw finds it before you pay.

Three AI agents compare your quotes, audit 100% of your invoices, and file disputes automatically — recovering 3–5% of freight spend without changing a single thing about how your team already works.

The problem

Freight cost leakage hides in plain sight

A $10M/year importer running 30–40 ocean shipments a month across six forwarders loses money in three places — and has no time to catch any of them.

01 · QUOTES

Comparison is manual and inaccurate

Six forwarders, six formats. Per-CBM tables, mixed currencies, inconsistent charge codes. Comparing three quotes for one shipment takes 2–3 hours of pure spreadsheet work.

02 · INVOICES

Audits are incomplete by necessity

Coordinators spot-check 10–15% of invoices at best. The gap between quoted and billed amounts routinely goes unchecked simply because there's no time.

03 · DISPUTES

Legitimate overcharges go uncontested

Most forwarders give you a 30–60 day dispute window. Coordinators drowning in quote work rarely cross-reference invoices in time to use it.

$36,000 – $72,000 / year
Conservative estimate of unrecovered overcharges for a 35-invoice/month freight operation — pure cost leakage, recoverable with the right audit process.

The solution

Three agents. Zero workflow disruption.

CostClaw's agents work inside the tools your team already uses — inbox, shared folder, carrier portals. No ERP integration, no new software to learn.

📊
Agent 01

Quotation Agent

Extracts every quote from email and shared folders, normalizes charge codes across forwarders, and recalculates true totals using your actual cargo specs — not their estimates.

  • Side-by-side normalized comparison, ranked by real cost
  • AI-drafted negotiation emails per charge code
  • One-click forwarder selection

Agent 02

Invoice Audit Agent

Intercepts every invoice before payment, rebuilds the expected charge from the accepted quote, and produces a line-by-line audit in under 60 seconds.

  • 100% audit coverage, not a 10% sample
  • Auto-fills your existing shared Excel — no format change
  • Approve or dispute with one click
Agent 03

Dispute Agent

Drafts the dispute email, attaches the evidence, tracks the forwarder's response, and escalates automatically if they go quiet.

  • Cites the exact quote clause for every disputed charge
  • Auto follow-up after 5 business days of silence
  • Reconciles credits and closes the loop
How it works

Get quotes → Compare → Audit → Recover

One continuous loop, running quietly in the background of your existing inbox and shared drive.

Agent watches email & shared folder for incoming quote and invoice PDFs from your forwarders.

2

Normalize

Charge codes, currencies, and cargo specs are reconciled into one apples-to-apples baseline.

3

Audit & negotiate

Every invoice is checked against the recalculated baseline; every quote gets a targeted negotiation draft.

4

Approve
