Every finding shows the contract clause, the invoice line, and the math. Nothing is “flagged” without proof.

Is your 3PL invoice correct?
Auditario audits every 3PL invoice against your contract and your Shopify orders — automatically. Billing errors, missed credits, and rate drift, caught before you pay, with exact evidence for every dollar.
Every fulfillment charge, proven.

The audit runs both ways
We report variances in your 3PL's favor too. Honest numbers are the whole point.
Nothing found, nothing owed
Your first historical audit is free. A verified clean bill is a real result — and you keep the report.
How it works
Start with one invoice. Nothing else.
You shouldn't have to hand over a contract and an integration to find out whether we're any good. Send one invoice and we'll show you what we find in it. Each step after that unlocks a different class of finding — take them when the results make you want to, not before.
1
Forward one invoice
That's the whole first step. Email us a single 3PL invoice — no account, no contract, no integration. Several of our checks need nothing but the invoice itself: duplicate lines, totals that don't reconcile against their own line items, storage quantities that jump between periods, and how much of the bill you have no way to recompute from what's printed on it.
2
Add your rate card — when you want the rest
Your contract is what turns “this looks wrong” into “this contradicts clause 3.2.” It also holds your dispute window — without it we honestly can't tell you whether a charge is still claimable or already expired. One upload, once; we confirm anything ambiguous by a one-line email reply.
3
Connect Shopify — to check the quantities
Read-only OAuth. Rates are only half the story: the most-reported billing errors are wrong quantities, which reconcile perfectly against any rate card. Your order data is what catches them. No customer names or addresses needed.
Then it's completely hands-off.
Every new invoice is parsed, checked line-by-line against your rates and your Shopify activity, and lands in your inbox with a status — Clean, Review, or Hold.
Approve invoices in one click, from email. Disputes are drafted for your approval, follow-ups are prepared for you, and credits are watched until they actually land. The running tally always shows what the audit has saved you versus what it costs — including the share of spend we can audit, stated honestly.

What a finding looks like
Proof you can forward — to your CFO or your 3PL.
Every discrepancy is a self-contained evidence card: the clause you agreed to, the line you were billed, and the arithmetic between them. It's the same document you attach to the dispute — which is why disputes get resolved.

What you get back
The audit is the trial. This is the product.
Every figure here is computed. The arithmetic reconciles, each finding cites the invoice line and the clause it rests on, and findings are separated by how well we can actually prove them — because "we think" and "we can show you" are different claims.

We report these too. An audit that only ever finds money in one direction isn't an audit.
Run against every invoice
- Contracted rates billed rate vs. the rate you signed
- Rate drift prices that rose with no amendment on file
- Volume tiers discounts earned but never applied
- Canceled orders charges on orders Shopify shows were canceled once Shopify is connected
- Order & unit counts billed picks vs. actual fulfillments once Shopify is connected
- Duplicates double-billed lines and repeated invoices
- Missing credits promised credits that never landed
- Minimums & fees account fees and monthly minimums
- Storage continuity rate drift and unexplained quantity jumps
Built to be believed.
Audit tools that inflate their numbers don't survive contact with a real account manager. Auditario is built the opposite way — conservative by design, so that when it says “verified,” your 3PL's billing team can check the math and agree.
- Six-way classification. Verified · needs verification · optimization · rate drift · in-your-3PL's-favor · data-quality. Never one inflated number.
- Deterministic math. AI reads documents; it never invents a dollar figure. Every calculation is exact, repeatable arithmetic.
- Every tie goes against us. Where the evidence is ambiguous a finding is downgraded, never upgraded. “Verified” is reserved for lines where the contract, the invoice and the arithmetic all agree.
- An honest ROI meter. Your digest shows value delivered vs. fees paid. If you're not ahead, we'll tell you — and suggest you pay us less.
Security & privacy
Your contract is sensitive. We treat it that way.
Encrypted in transit and at rest; documents are hashed and versioned, never silently altered.
Standing confidentiality & data-processing agreement covers every upload — not an optional extra.
Read-only, minimal scopes. No customer names, emails, or addresses — order IDs, SKUs, and quantities are enough.
No AI training on your data, deletion on request, and one-click export of everything, any time.

FAQ
Questions merchants ask.
How do I audit a 3PL invoice?
A proper audit compares three sources: your contract or rate card (what you agreed to pay), the invoice (what you were billed), and your order data (what actually happened). Auditario automates all three — it compiles your rate card into precise rules, normalizes every invoice line, cross-checks against Shopify orders, fulfillments, and returns, and flags variances with the exact clause, line, and arithmetic.
What data do you need from me?
Three things, each set up once: a read-only Shopify connection, your 3PL invoices (auto-forwarded from your inbox or pulled from a supported portal), and your rate card, uploaded once. After that, every new invoice is audited automatically.
Is my contract kept confidential?
Yes — encrypted in transit and at rest, covered by a standing confidentiality and data-processing agreement, never used to train AI models, deletable on request. You can also start without it: operational checks (canceled orders billed, count mismatches, duplicates) need only your invoice and Shopify data.
What does it cost?
The audit and full report are free. Plans are flat monthly: Monitor $149, Growth $399, Scale $899 — and that is the entire bill. We never take a percentage of recovered credits, and there is no per-dispute, per-document or onboarding fee. Tiers differ by capacity, not features. The first 25 founding merchants lock their base price for life, and the 90-day guarantee means the product must out-earn its cost or the difference is credited back automatically.
What if you find nothing wrong?
Then the audit is free and you owe nothing — and you get a line-by-line reconciliation statement showing exactly what was checked. A verified clean bill is worth having: your finance team can file it with the payment approval.
How do I actually get the money back?
Almost always as a credit memo on a future invoice. You approve a dispute package — evidence table plus a professionally worded email — and send it to your account manager. Auditario tracks the response, drafts follow-ups for stalled disputes (you approve before anything is sent), and watches your next invoices to confirm the credit actually lands. Contracts usually limit how long you have to dispute, so findings are surfaced while they're still disputable.
Common 3PL billing errors — what should I look for?
Billed rates that don't match the contract, rate increases with no amendment, volume discounts never applied, charges on canceled orders, duplicate lines, incorrect minimums, promised credits that never appear, and storage rate or quantity jumps with no explanation. These are the checks Auditario runs on every invoice — and coverage grows module by module, with the audited share of your spend always stated on the report.
Will this hurt my relationship with my 3PL?
It's designed not to. Findings are conservative and factual — clause, line, math — which keeps disputes professional. We also report variances in your 3PL's favor and issue clean statements when billing is correct. Careful reconciliation tends to earn respect, not resentment.
