Catch freight fraud before you dispatch the load.

Rate confirmations, bills of lading, and carrier packets are trivial to edit — and freight fraud, double-brokering, and identity theft ride in on them. Docurensic examines every document in five layers and tells you what changed.

Built for this paperwork

The fraud that hides in freight documents.

§02 / IN PRACTICE
Illustrative example

What a re-typed weight looks like.

A constructed example — not a real customer file — showing the kind of finding Docurensic surfaces on a bill of lading.

The gross-weight value is set in a different embedded font from the rest of the form and lives in its own appended revision — consistent with the figure being changed after the BOL was issued.

§03 / WHY IT WORKS

Why generic checks miss it.

Freight moves on trust and speed, which is exactly what fraudsters exploit. A rate con with a quietly changed payment address, a BOL that doesn't match the load, or an email that looks like your carrier but isn't — each costs real money and each hides in a document.

Docurensic's forensic layer catches the edits, the security layer catches the spoofed and malicious messages, and the external-lookups layer helps confirm the carrier on the paperwork is the carrier you think it is.

Five layers, one verdict. Every document runs through security, forensics, reasoning, validation, and external lookups — see how the engine works.

§04 / FAQ
Questions

Frequently asked.

How do I know if a rate confirmation was altered?

Docurensic inspects the PDF's revision history, metadata, and fonts. Appended revisions and a payment line set in a different font from the rest of the document are classic signs a rate con was edited after it was issued.

Can it catch double-brokering?

It surfaces the signals — mismatched carrier identifiers, reused documents across loads, and paperwork that doesn't line up internally or across related documents — and links related documents into a case so the pattern is visible.

Does it verify carriers?

The external-lookups layer corroborates carrier identity against open-web records, so a document isn't just internally consistent but matches the real-world entity.
