What invoice data do you need?

We need invoice line items (particularly detention-related charges or their absence), rate confirmation detention terms, and payment amounts. Most freight audit platforms already parse and structure this data.

How does this fit into our existing audit pipeline?

Bastion operates as an additional analysis layer. You send us the same data you already audit, and we return detention-specific findings that your platform can present alongside your existing audit results.

Do you handle the recovery or just flag the underpayments?

Both. We flag underpayments for your visibility, and we handle the entire recovery process — evidence assembly, broker outreach, and payment tracking.

What if our clients already have detention processes?

Most carriers either have no detention process or a manual one that misses the majority of claims. Bastion catches what manual processes miss and automates the entire workflow.

The Problem We Solve Together

Your audit platform catches overcharges, duplicate payments, and rate discrepancies. But detention underpayments — where carriers were owed detention pay and never received it — typically fall outside your audit scope.

Detention is a $1.3 billion annual problem for carriers, and the data to identify underpayments already flows through your system. Rate confirmations specify detention terms. Invoices show what was actually paid. The gap between the two is recoverable revenue.

Bastion adds a detention recovery layer to your existing audit workflow. We analyze the invoice and rate data you already process, flag underpayments, and handle the recovery process — expanding your service offering without expanding your team.
