The problem

We recovered $260M in wasteful spend in 2025 alone

Enterprises spend $16B a year on procurement software. They spend $348B on the people who work around it.

Despite every ERP, TMS, and AP tool, the real system of work is still spreadsheets, email, and carrier portals.

How Freehand works

Understanding the Claim

Ingest and normalize what carriers and vendors bill — from portals, feeds, and documents.

Omnichannel Monitoring

Our platform integrates with vendor communications and data feeds to capture financial documents.

Document Interpretation

Agents interpret the incoming data to understand the nature of the financial claim.

Data Consolidation

Fragmented communications and siloed inputs are standardized for processing.

Applying commercial rules

Link contracts and rates to POs and operational proof (milestones, WMS, shipments).

Contract & PO Matching

Agents retrieve and link contracts, rate cards, & purchase orders associated with every line item.

Operational Reconciliation

Claims are measured against ground truth by mapping invoices to shipment milestones and delivery logs.

Variable Adjustment

Agents dynamically adjust costs based on historical decisions & real-world execution variables.

Deciding what belongs

Flag wrong rates, duplicates, and patterns humans stop catching at volume.

Discrepancy Detection

AI teams autonomously identify errors such as duplicate billing, unearned accessorial, and more.

Pattern Recognition

AI flags pattern-based anomalies & historical billing inconsistencies to prevent recurring vendor overcharges.

Commercial Rule Enforcement

Every line item is tested against commercial thresholds to identify charges that violate corporate policy.

Resolving the exception

Evidence-backed outreach and negotiation — autonomous where you allow it.

Evidence Assembly

AI teams compile evidence packets containing the specific contract clauses & logs that invalidate the claim.

Vendor Engagement

AI manages vendor communication by drafting emails and interacting with portals to challenge the invoice.

Exception Resolution

AI actively negotiates & closes the dispute loop entirely on its own, eliminating the need for human follow-up.

Applying financial logic

Your GL, cost centers, accruals, thresholds - applied consistently.

Accounting Allocation

Agents apply your specific general ledger rules and cost center mappings to ensure accurate financial coding.

Accrual Logic

Agents automatically process accruals based on established corporate thresholds and business logic

Threshold Management

Agents enforce financial thresholds with strict consistency across all processed claims.

Making it official

Post validated results to your system of record; every line stays explainable.

ERP Integration

Validated outcomes are pushed directly into enterprise systems of record like SAP, and Oracle.

Audit Traceability

Every final entry carries a comprehensive decision trace, documenting exactly how a charge was reconciled.

Compliance Readiness

Your records remain seamlessly updated and audit-ready, bridging the gap between operations and finance.

Built for the world's most volatile spend

We built our decision graph on freight — the hardest category. Now it runs across your supply chain.

Freight & Parcel

Every carrier bill checked against contracts and shipment facts. Catch drift, duplicates, and bad accessorials before payables runs.

Logistics & 3PL

SLAs matched to what happened in the warehouse. Penalties and credits you're owed stop disappearing into "variance."

Logistics A/R

Deductions, disputes, and applications — handled with evidence packets, not another manual army.

Global Trade

Classifications, duties, broker fees — validated against schedules and documentation. So finance doesn't guess and compliance doesn't pray.

integration

Works where your data already lives. Live on your stack in weeks — not quarters 

AI Teams read from the tools teams use and post outcomes to the systems finance trusts.
