Every freight bill, checked in realtime
5 to 8% freight invoices are wrong. Layn is an always-on system that independently re-calculates every bill against contracts, shipment and market data - so wrong charges are caught before the money moves. More freight, same team.
Send a recent batch of invoices. No integration required.
Freight spend leaks through billing errors
Invoice errors & fraud are common
5-8% of invoices carry wrong rates, duplicates or inflated accessorials. Fraud is up ~1,500% since 2021.
No system re-calculates freight properly
TMS runs ops, ERP runs accounting, generic AP tools route the bill. None of them re-calculate the charges.
Manual checks don't keep up
Freight expertise is hard to hire and train, and headcount doesn't scale with volume.
Freight costs keep moving
Fuel, accessorials and detention change with every shipment - up to ±20% a year on the same lanes.
Every invoice - ingested, validated, routed
Ingest Layn pulls in every carrier invoice (EDI, carrier portal, PDF, or email), normalizes it and matches it to the appropriate shipment and contract.
Validate Each charge is re-calculated from your contract and market reference data (base rate, fuel index, accessorials, classification, duplicates), not just checked against the tendered estimate.
Route Clean invoices post to your ERP as coded, audit-ready liabilities. Exceptions route to ops and finance with the evidence attached for fast, effective resolution.
Plug into your carriers, TMS and ERP
Layn pulls invoices from every channel and reads your shipment and contract data. No rip-and-replace.
Every charge re-calculated, every flag backed by evidence
Layn recomputes each line - base rate, fuel, accessorials, duplicates - and attaches the proof for anything it flags.

Flagged bills become tracked cases; Clean ones never wait
Only the exceptions route to an owner with a status - everything clean flows straight through to approval.
One authorized, posted payable - coded and logged
Validated bills are approved within policy and posted straight to your ERP, correctly coded, with a full audit trail. Finance accrues uninvoiced freight on real rates, not guesses.
Turn billing data into negotiation leverage
Layn shows what you're overpaying - by type and by carrier - so you walk into the next rate cycle with evidence, not anecdotes.
For businesses that move serious freight
For shippers
For 3PLs & brokers
