Lighthouz AI

Lighthouz AI automates freight bill audits, shipper invoicing and collections for FTL and LTL freight brokers. It plugs into existing TMS and accounting systems and is SOC 2 Type II compliant.

Lighthouz AI is a back-office automation platform built for freight brokers and 3PLs. It positions itself as a set of AI accountants for logistics, handling three jobs that usually consume accounting headcount: auditing carrier bills, invoicing shippers, and chasing overdue payments. The product covers both full truckload (FTL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) freight, with mode-specific handling for the billing quirks of each. In practice the workflow starts with proof-of-delivery documents arriving as PDFs, EDI, email or portal downloads. The agents parse them against load data from the transportation management system, run a large battery of checks per document, and produce a customer invoice within hours of delivery. Carrier bills are audited line by line (linehaul, fuel surcharge, detention, lumper fees), and mismatches become disputes that are filed and tracked without manual effort. On the LTL side, the tool covers accessorial validation, reweighs and reclasses. For receivables, agents monitor customer payment portals, send personalized reminders in sequence, and rank overdue accounts so staff see which ones need attention first. The homepage claims that 70 to 85 percent of carrier bills clear with no human touch, and the demo dashboard tracks days sales outstanding, open disputes and cash collected. The target buyer is an accounting or finance lead at a brokerage that wants to grow volume without adding AP and AR staff. Lighthouz connects to existing systems rather than replacing them: the integration list names TMS platforms such as McLeod, MercuryGate, Turvo and Tai, and accounting systems including QuickBooks, NetSuite and Sage Intacct. Security claims include SOC 2 Type II compliance, encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access and tenant-scoped data storage. Among alternatives, it sits between generic accounts-receivable software and manual freight audit outsourcing. Its narrow focus on freight billing is the main differentiator, and the trade-off is that it offers little value outside logistics. Access runs through a demo or a call with the founder rather than self-serve signup.
