Revenue Protect - Product Features & Documentation

Revenue Protect brings together the capabilities required to validate charges, capture billable activity, enforce commercial agreements, and understand profitability across complex logistics operations.

Built on the proven foundations of IFS.ai Logistics and leveraging the capabilities of Transport Planning, Audit & Optimisation (TPAO), Revenue Protect helps logistics providers align operational activity, cost, revenue, and contract data within a single financial intelligence platform.

Whether you are auditing subcontractor invoices, validating customer charges, improving billing accuracy, or identifying margin leakage, Revenue Protect provides the tools needed to increase commercial control and confidence across your network.

What You'll Find in This Section

This section provides an overview of the core capabilities that make up Revenue Protect and explains how they work together to improve financial performance, operational compliance, and billing accuracy.

The platform is designed around a connected set of capabilities that support the full revenue assurance lifecycle from capturing activity and validating charges through to dispute management, profitability analysis, and billing integration.

Rating & Charge Automation

Calculate expected customer and supplier charges using configured contracts, rate cards, business rules, and shipment activity.

  • Automated planned charges calculation
  • Automated data validation and supplier compliance management

Unified Shipment Activity

Create a single version of operational and financial truth.

Key Capabilities

  • Data quality validation
  • Compliance rule management
  • Automated exception identification
  • Operational partner compliance monitoring

  • Accounts receivable data feeds
