Zero Freight Float Custody Risk
Outsourced FAP collapses have left shippers and brokers owing carriers twice when escrow funds froze. DockVerdict never holds your cash or initiates ACH wires—you pay carriers directly from your own ledger.

Outsourced Freight Audit Bureaus vs. Self-Serve Deterministic Software
Legacy Freight Audit & Payment (FAP) bureaus demand 3–6 month EDI onboarding, take custody of your carrier settlement float, and charge 15%–35% contingency splits. DockVerdict audits packets in seconds while your controller keeps 100% custody of funds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are brokerages moving away from traditional Freight Audit & Payment (FAP) bureaus?
Beyond slow multi-day batch delays and contingency fees, holding settlement funds in third-party FAP escrow accounts creates severe counterparty and carrier-relationship risk if a payment bureau experiences liquidity issues.
Does DockVerdict take a percentage of the carrier overcharges it catches?
Never. Whether DockVerdict catches $2,500 or $25,000/month in unapproved detention, lumper, and RateCon variances, you keep 100% of your recovered margin for a flat monthly subscription ($499/mo Pro or $1,199/mo Growth).
