Lojistic +PAY

Overview

+PAY checks 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. It also groups audited and coded invoices into weekly batches for customer approval, then pays funded carrier invoices within three business days or less.

This workflow brings invoice review and payment handling together without removing the customer's approval step. Payments can be funded by ACH or wire; credit card is also supported, with fees waived when Lojistic pays carriers by card. Qualified clients may choose an ongoing cash incentive or 35 extra days to pay carrier invoices, but both options are subject to terms and conditions.

Key features

• Invoice audit: Rate validation and duplicate detection are joined by checks of surcharges, service, shipment details, and late deliveries. That breadth is useful for teams handling varied carrier charges, though the free Invoice Audit plan only retains a rolling 100 days of shipping data.
• Refund recovery: Automatic identification and recovery of eligible carrier refunds can reduce manual follow-up. Eligibility still matters; the feature is not a promise that every billing issue results in a refund.
• Batch payments: Weekly batches let customers inspect and approve invoices before funding, and Lojistic says it pays carriers within three business days or less after funding. This fits businesses seeking a consolidated payment workflow, but it adds a review-and-funding step before carrier payment.
• Connections and controls: Normalized shipping data exports and API connections support links to business systems; DOMO is a prebuilt app integration. ERP integrations include NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics, and EDI is supported. Lojistic says it encrypts data in transit and at rest, applies internal access controls, and conducts regular security assessments.
• Help: FAQs, contact forms, chat, and a phone line at (800) 783-5753 give customers several support routes.

Pricing

The pricing model is freemium, with paid plans starting at $145/mo. The two free options serve different needs: Invoice Audit provides ongoing carrier invoice audits across all shipping modes, while +PAY combines Audit & Recovery features with carrier invoice payments. +PAY fees are waived when Lojistic pays carriers by credit card, subject to qualification and terms.

Invoice Audit's 100-day rolling history is a meaningful constraint for businesses that need longer comparisons or audit trails. Five-year history can be added for $49/month or is included in another plan.

The free plans are a practical way to begin invoice checks or assess the payment workflow, but the short history window and conditional payment terms may make them a poor fit for larger or more complex operations without a closer look at costs and eligibility. The available plan terms do not give seat quotas, trial length, or renewal terms.

Platforms

+PAY is available on the web and through an API. That combination supports both direct browser access and system connections for organizations integrating shipping data into existing workflows.

Who it's for

Lojistic names retail and eCommerce, 3PL and logistics providers, manufacturing, wholesale, heavy goods, food and beverage, medical and life sciences, and electronics as target industries. The broad carrier checks and payment workflow make it a plausible fit for shippers in those sectors that manage enough invoice volume to value consolidated review and recovery. Businesses needing more than 100 days of history should account for the extra-history charge or a plan that includes longer retention.

Pros and cons

• Pro — Audit and payment in one flow: Weekly reviewed batches connect invoice checks with carrier payments, rather than leaving payment coordination separate.
• Pro — Two free entry points: Invoice Audit offers ongoing audits, while +PAY adds carrier payment handling with card-payment fees waived when Lojistic pays carriers, subject to terms.
• Pro — Broad invoice checks: Validation covers rates, surcharges, shipment and service details, duplicate or invalid charges, and late deliveries that may qualify for refunds.
• Con — Limited free history: Invoice Audit's rolling 100-day window may be too short for longer-term review; five-year history costs $49/month unless included in another plan.
• Con — Benefits are conditional: The cash incentive and extra 35 days to pay are limited to qualified clients and subject to terms.
• Con — Higher-tier cost is unclear: Audit & Recovery has no listed price, which makes budgeting harder for buyers who need recovery and automated GL coding.

Verdict

Choose Lojistic +PAY if your business wants carrier invoice checks, eligible refund recovery, and payment approval in one workflow, particularly if a free starting point matters. Its strongest advantage is that audit and payment work are connected while customers retain approval control. Look elsewhere if your operation needs a longer free audit history, or if you need predictable pricing and unconditional payment incentives before committing.
