Lojistic +PAY

Lojistic +PAY is a freight and parcel invoice audit, refund recovery, and carrier payment service for businesses that manage shipping spend. It is best suited to shippers that want to bring invoice checks and payment approvals into one workflow. Its free plans make auditing accessible, but a 100-day history cap and qualification terms on payment incentives deserve attention.

Overview

+PAY checks carrier invoices against contracted rates, surcharges, service and shipment details, duplicate or invalid charges, and late deliveries that may qualify for refunds. Lojistic says it automatically identifies and recovers eligible refunds. Audited, coded invoices are grouped into weekly batches for customer review and approval; after funding by ACH or wire, Lojistic says it pays carriers within three business days or less.

That combination can reduce the work of reconciling invoices and handling carrier payments, while keeping customers in the approval loop. Qualified clients may choose an ongoing cash incentive or 35 extra days to pay carrier invoices, subject to terms and conditions. These benefits are conditional, so they should not be treated as universal savings or a guaranteed extension.

Key features

• Invoice validation: Rate validation and duplicate detection target common billing errors, alongside checks of surcharges, shipment details, service and late deliveries. This scope is useful for organizations reviewing many carrier charges, though it does not remove the need to review invoices before approving payment.
• Recovery and coding: Automatic refund recovery is part of the Audit & Recovery plan, which also includes automated GL coding. Teams that need those workflows should weigh them against the custom pricing.
• Payment controls: Weekly batches let customers approve audited and coded invoices before funding. Payment methods include ACH, wire and credit card; fees are waived when Lojistic pays carriers by credit card, subject to qualification and terms.
• Connections and data: Customers can export normalized shipping data or connect business systems through APIs. DOMO is a prebuilt app integration, and ERP integrations include NetSuite, SAP, Oracle and Microsoft Dynamics. EDI support is also available.
• Security and support: Lojistic says it encrypts data in transit and at rest, applies internal access controls, and conducts regular security assessments. Help is offered through FAQs, contact forms, chat and phone at (800) 783-5753.

Pricing

The pricing model is freemium, with paid plans from $145/mo. The available plan details point to a useful free starting point, but the value of deeper recovery and longer history depends on the paid arrangement.

• +PAY — free: Includes Audit & Recovery features and carrier invoice payments. Fees are waived when Lojistic pays carriers by credit card, with qualification and terms applying. This is the clearest fit for businesses that want payment workflows alongside audit and recovery.
• Invoice Audit — free: Provides ongoing carrier invoice audits across all shipping modes and a rolling 100-day data history. It suits teams that want to start with audit coverage, but the short history may be limiting for longer-term analysis.
• Audit & Recovery — custom pricing: Includes Invoice Audit features, automatic refund recovery, automated GL coding, and five years of data history on most plans. Choose it if recovery and longer records are priorities; confirm the applicable history terms and price before committing.

The free Invoice Audit plan can add five-year history for $49/month, or that history is included in another plan. The $145/mo starting price does not identify a specific plan or its limits, so customers should confirm the quote and terms that apply to their needs.

Platforms

Lojistic supports web and API access. That gives teams both a browser-based option and a route to connect with business systems; normalized exports provide another way to move shipping data.

Who it's for

The service is aimed at businesses with substantial or varied carrier activity, including retail and eCommerce, 3PL and logistics providers, manufacturing, wholesale, heavy goods, food and beverage, medical and life sciences, and electronics. It is a stronger fit for teams that need invoice controls, recovery, and payment handling together than for buyers seeking only a lightweight shipping tool. Lojistic has operated since 2005.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Audits cover rates, surcharges, shipment and service details, duplicates, invalid charges, and late deliveries, giving invoice review a wider scope than rate checks alone.
• Pro: Weekly approval batches combine audited invoices with payment workflows, with ACH, wire and credit card supported.
• Pro: ERP connections, API access, normalized exports and EDI support give businesses several paths for working with shipping data.
• Con: Free Invoice Audit history rolls over after 100 days, which may not support longer lookbacks without the $49/month add-on or another plan.
• Con: Audit & Recovery has custom pricing, and payment incentives depend on qualification and terms, making total cost and benefits less predictable before a quote.

Alternatives

Freight Audit and Payment Software is a useful next stop for comparing the category. Consider OpenEnvoy if a web-based freemium option with an 800-token free plan and an Essentials plan for small teams is a better fit. Shipware Audit and Pay may suit businesses that spend over $100,000 annually on small parcel shipping and qualify for its free Parcel Audit and Pay plan.

AFS Freight Audit and Payment is an alternative for buyers looking for custom business rules, detailed freight reports, real-time documents and automatic notifications. Jorora Freight Audit is another freemium, web-based option. For a modular, shipment-priced TMS with optional Cost, Collaborate, Emissions and Report modules, consider nShift TMS.

TRANSWARE is a paid alternative with a free trial and Fully Managed and Self Service plans. Cass Freight Audit and Payment may suit organizations with large freight spend and complex business rules that are prepared to contact sales. Intelligent Audit offers a 90-day Catalyst trial for eligible new customers, focused on parcel audit and spend intelligence for growing shippers.

Verdict

Lojistic +PAY is a strong fit for businesses that want invoice auditing, eligible refund recovery, and controlled carrier payments in one service, with integrations for established finance and operations systems. Its free audit plan lowers the barrier to entry, but the 100-day history limit and custom-priced recovery option make it less compelling for teams that need long records or predictable pricing from the outset. Choose it for the combined workflow; look elsewhere if those limits outweigh the convenience of unifying audit and payment.
