After a strong holiday season, profits didn't match sales. CEO Kirsten Maitland dug into shipping and found an estimated $250,000 in overcharges buried in carrier invoices... hundreds of pages per week, fees nested inside fees.Instead of hiring a forensic accountant, the team built an AI agent that audits weekly invoices against each carrier's contract: zone, weight, package dimensions, and other specs in the agreement. Humans upload files, review flagged outputs, and verify before disputing charges. Reported savings climbed to about $400,000 in one year.They went further with computer vision on outbound boxes, scanning for bulges as small as 1/8 inch that trigger dimensional surcharges your eyes might miss. Catch it at the packing station and you avoid the charge entirely.The pattern works beyond shipping: vendor bills, job-site photo checklists, any repetitive yes/no document review where AI narrows the pile and a human makes the call. Human in the loop. Eighty percent is a success.00:00 The Vegan Cheese Startup and AI Innovation02:15 AI in Shipping and Cost Savings04:32 Human-AI Collaboration in Business06:54 Future Applications of AI in Various Industries09:22 Conclusion and Call to ActionPrefer to read your AI News? -> https://infacto.digital/read/rebel-cheese-ai-shipping-audit?yt_video=How%20AI%20Saved%20This%20Vegan%20Cheese%20Company%20%24400K%20on%20Shipping
