A useful audit even when flows change
Volumes change, tours adapt, field constraints exist. FretGuard does not seek a perfect invoice: it identifies discrepancies that recur, are expensive and can be explained.
Agri-food
When margins are tight, each transport cost must be legible.
Controlled temperature, short rounds, pallets, urgent batches, penalties: in the food industry, the transport bill often mixes real constraints and questionable costs. FretGuard helps sort it out.

In the field
The most common areas of blur
Cold or handling surcharges applied without clear correspondence with the contract.
Penalties or waits billed without simple reading on the operational side.
Variations in weight, pallets or rounds that change the price without visible alert.
Faster decisions with carriers
Instead of raising general suspicions, you come up with precise lines, consolidated amounts and a vision of recurrences. The discussion becomes shorter and more productive.
Control agri-food transport invoices despite field constraints
Agri-food transport imposes short deadlines, scalable routes, controlled cold, variable logistics units and compliance constraints. These elements sometimes justify additional fees, but they also make billing errors more difficult to detect. FretGuard automates the control of agri-food transport invoices to distinguish legitimate costs from price discrepancies, questionable penalties, recurring surcharges or incorrectly charged lines.
Method
Control designed for fresh, dry and constrained flows
1
Taking into account transport rules
Price tables, zones, weights, pallets, cold, deadlines, rounds and additional costs are structured to reflect the conditions actually negotiated.
2
Detection of repetitive deviations
FretGuard spots surcharges applied too often, questionable penalties, weight errors or lines billed on the wrong basis.
3
Analysis by site, route and carrier
The anomalies are grouped together to identify the carriers, routes or flow families which have the greatest impact on the margin.
Control
What FretGuard controls without burdening your teams
Anomalies are only useful if they are understandable. FretGuard highlights lines that merit review, with the context needed to decide quickly.
Costs related to cold, time constraints and delivery conditions.
Differences between volumes shipped, logistics units and lines invoiced.
Recurring anomalies by carrier, site, route or product family.
Priority controls in the agri-food industry
Cold supplements, controlled temperature, urgent delivery or time slot.
Differences between pallets, packages, declared weight, invoiced weight and logistics units.
Waiting, refusal, handling or compliance penalties applied without clear context.
Recurring anomalies by site, tour, carrier or product family.
A direct impact on the transport margin
Better visibility on additional costs that accumulate month after month.
Disputes based on specific lines rather than overall impressions.
Cleaner monitoring of transport costs in an environment where volumes change often.
Frequently asked questions
What teams ask before an audit
Can FretGuard control cold-related surcharges?
Yes. Cold or controlled temperature costs can be compared with contractual rules and the flows concerned to identify unjustified applications.
How to manage volumes that change often?
Line by line analysis makes it possible to control invoices even when pallets, weights, rounds or frequencies change from one period to another.
Do operational teams have to prepare data by hand?
The objective is precisely to limit this work. FretGuard relies on your invoices and grids, then restores the discrepancies with the useful context to verify them.
Do your transport costs really follow your field constraints?
We can start with your most sensitive flows: cold, recurring tours or carriers who generate the most disputes.
