You ship more than you think. You audit less than you should.
Carrier and subcontractor cost runs your business. The contracts and invoices that govern it are dense, scattered, and rarely re-read. ProcuHelp is the strategic layer above your TMS and ERP, where carrier contracts are read by AI, invoices are checked against the terms automatically, and the compliance documents on your subcontractors stop expiring quietly.
Patterns we see every quarter.
A composite of what procurement, supply chain, and finance leaders at 3PLs and end-shippers tell us. Not direct quotes from any single customer.
Freight invoice errors are an industry standard, not an exception.
Independent industry research from logistics consultancies, transportation institutes, and freight audit firms. The numbers are consistent across sources.
Your vendor base, ranked by what could hurt
Every vendor carries a criticality flag (Critical, High, Medium, Low), an automatic risk score across five dimensions, and a documents dossier with expiry tracking. Spend rolls up from your ERP. For a logistics operation, your transport providers, subcontractors, and warehousing partners live here alongside everything else you buy.
A typical 90 days at a mid-sized logistics buyer.
Logistics pain rarely shows up as a Tuesday-morning crisis. It bleeds. Here is a composite of what the platform catches over a normal quarter at a customer running about €5M in annual transport spend across 140 vendors.
Seven catches. Two anomalies recovered to cash. Three documents kept current. One renegotiation banked. One transport contract retendered.
Four jobs your team finally gets time for.
Each of these is a real workflow inside the product today, built on the actual data models, anomaly types, contract intelligence, and sourcing patterns you would use from week one.
Map the vendor base, flag what could stop operations
Vendors sync from your ERP in week one. Each one carries a criticality flag (Critical / High / Medium / Low) and an automatic risk score across five dimensions: contract governance, contract currency, spend concentration, invoice accuracy, and billing consistency. Each score rolls up to a risk tier (healthy / attention / at-risk) and produces a list of improvement actions. For a logistics buyer, your transport providers and subcontracted vendors live in the same vendor base as everything else you buy, with the same scoring applied.
Transport contracts read by AI, owned by humans
Upload your existing transport and rate agreements. Mistral AI extracts the structured terms into contract lines: base prices, fuel surcharge references, accessorial fees, detention and demurrage terms, volume tiers, and annual escalation clauses. Each contract gets an AI risk level (low / medium / high) that surfaces clauses worth attention. Renewal and notice-period reminders fire on schedule. When invoices arrive, variance is connected back to the right contract line.
Subcontractor compliance, before the audit asks
Each vendor has a documents dossier with a category, expiry date, reminder window, and review state (verified / needs update / rejected). Document categories are flexible so customers track what their business actually needs: insurance certificates, transport licenses, ADR for hazardous goods, liability cover, audit reports, signed master agreements. Reminders fire to the relationship owner 60 and 30 days before expiry. Renewals come back through the vendor portal, not through email chains.
Annual carrier tenders that don’t take a quarter to run
The built-in RFP module supports the full sourcing event: brief, sections, weighted scoring criteria, vendor invitations via magic-link portal, clarification Q&A, evaluator workflow with optional blind mode, and award. The category enum natively supports Logistics & Supply Chain, so transport RFPs are first-class events. AI assists drafting the brief from a prior contract or template. Submissions come back in a single comparable format with currency normalisation, so the evaluator grid is apples-to-apples.
