Where the money leaks

Every shipment throws off paperwork nobody reads closely enough, and carriers know it. Four zones, one floor.

Zone: A-01

Detention and demurrage

Carriers bill by the day the moment free time runs out. Most shippers learn the clock was running when the invoice shows up weeks later.

Zone: A-02

Overbilling nobody checks

Line-by-line audits are slow and expensive, so most freight invoices get paid as billed, errors included.

Document chaos

BOLs, arrival notices, port advisories, and invoices arrive by email, PDF, fax, and portal. Nobody holds one source of truth.

No early warning

Vessels slip, free time starts on a day nobody planned for, and finance sees the charge weeks later. Operations needed that alert two days earlier.

Container tracking

Both questions, one board

Most teams run a tracking tool for one question and a spreadsheet for the other, then reconcile them by hand. Vantage answers both from the same documents, so the box and the bill never disagree.

Am I being overbilled?
