01How the review takes shape

From the invoice
to an informed decision.

An invoice tells you what was billed. The agreement and shipment records help you judge whether it’s supported. Adrift’s planned workflow brings those pieces together.

04Frequently asked questions

Before we talk.

Availability, evidence, and getting started.

Can we use Adrift today?

Adrift is in development. The demo uses fictional data to illustrate the review process. We’re currently having discovery and pilot conversations with teams that review detention charges.

Who is Adrift being built for?

Operations and finance teams that review or pay detention invoices at 3PLs, shippers, distributors, and freight brokers—especially teams piecing together the supporting records by hand.

Which records would a review need?

The invoice, applicable agreement and rates, appointment details, and check-in and release records. Other shipment or warehouse records may help explain exceptions or fill gaps.

What if records are missing or conflict?

The planned workflow keeps those gaps visible as open questions. Your team gathers the missing context and confirms the evidence before deciding whether a charge is supported.

Does a flag mean the charge is wrong?

No. It means there’s a difference to investigate. Contract exceptions or additional records may explain it. Your team makes the final decision and handles any follow-up.

How would a pilot be scoped and priced?

We’d first discuss your review process, invoice volume, and available records. If there’s a fit, we’ll work through scope, success criteria, and pricing together. There are no published plans yet.

How does your team
check detention today?

Talk us through a recent invoice and the questions it raised. We’ll explore where Adrift could help.
