Carrier bills are built from base rates, fuel and surcharges on legacy systems with a proven error rate. Nobody has time to check them line by line.

Four places money leaves a fulfilment operation, and what each one is worth. Your channel mix, carrier mix and ticket volume decide where most of yours sits.
Base rates, fuel surcharges, zone and dimension errors against the rate card you actually signed.

Your contracted rates, surcharges and thresholds, per carrier and per service.
Every line item parsed and matched to the shipment it relates to.

Fuel, residential, oversize and remote-area fees checked against your terms.

Every invoice checked, not a quarterly sample.
What shipping actually costs you, once errors are stripped out.
No migration. Shipherd reads from your existing stack.
Shipherd estimates invoice errors at 6% of carrier spend, based on operating experience and reconciliation across connected accounts rather than an external study.
A carrier invoice audit reconciles each line on a shipping invoice against the rate card you contracted, identifying misapplied surcharges, wrong zones, incorrect dimensional charges and rate mismatches so they can be claimed back as credit.
In principle yes, but a mid-sized retailer receives thousands of invoice lines a month, each needing a match to a shipment and a contracted rate. Manual sampling catches the largest errors and misses the systematic small ones, which is usually where most of the money is.
This depends on your carrier contract, which typically sets a window for raising billing disputes. Shipherd works forward from the point of connection and flags historic discrepancies where the window is still open.
No. Shipherd works from the invoices and rate cards you already hold. Nothing needs to be requested from the carrier to begin.
You only pay us if we recover. The fee is a share of the credits actually returned to you.
Marketplace refunds where the item never came back are reimbursable. Finding them means reconciling three separate reports against each other.
