We audit third-party logistics invoices for e-commerce brands, uncover billing errors and hidden fees, and show you exactly where you're overpaying.
3PL billing is complex by design. Most e-commerce brands accept invoices at face value — and leave thousands on the table every month.
Pick, pack, storage, surcharges, minimums — 3PL contracts are designed to be hard to audit. Most brands don't have the time or expertise to decode them.
Rate increases applied without notice. Fees for services not delivered. Storage billed on outdated data. These add up fast — and go unnoticed for months.
Ops teams are scaling. Finance lacks logistics context. Nobody is line-checking invoices against contracted rates — so errors compound month after month.
The gap between what you agreed to pay and what you're actually paying is where the money hides. Without an audit, it stays hidden.
A focused, structured audit that delivers clear financial outcomes. No fluff, no long consulting engagements.
Send us your 3PL invoices and contract. Everything is handled under NDA. No disruption to your operations — we work with whatever data you already have.
We analyze every line item against your contracted rates — pick fees, pack fees, storage, surcharges, minimums, and everything in between. Nothing gets missed.
A clear report showing exactly where you're overpaying, by how much, and what to do about it. Dollar figures, not opinions. Actionable, not theoretical.
Why this matters more than you think
For most e-commerce brands, 3PL and shipping costs represent 12–18% of total revenue. At that scale, even a small billing error compounds into serious money — and a small improvement drops straight to your bottom line.

of that spend is overbilled — errors, surcharges, and rates that don't match your contract
of the savings go straight to your EBITDA — this isn't revenue, it's pure margin recovery
Most services cost you money. billsharp makes you money. Every dollar you spend with us is designed to return multiples — not in theory, but in hard, verifiable savings on your next invoice.
At $5M in revenue, a 15% fulfillment cost means $750K in annual 3PL spend. If even 10% of that is overbilled, you're losing $75,000 a year to errors nobody is catching. At $15M? That number is $225,000. This is not a rounding error — it's a line item that moves your P&L.
If our audit doesn't identify savings worth at least double our fee, you don't pay. Simple as that. We only win when you win — and we're confident enough to guarantee it.
Two identical brands. Same revenue, same 3PL. One audits their invoices. The other doesn't. Here's what happens to EBITDA margin over 5 years.

Every audit delivers a comprehensive analysis with hard numbers — not a surface-level review.
Every fee, every surcharge — checked against your contracted rates and actual order data.
A detailed breakdown of every discrepancy — with dollar amounts, affected periods, and root causes.
Identification of cost drivers that aren't obvious — from storage inefficiencies to surcharge patterns.
Prioritized recommendations — renegotiation points, operational changes, and rate benchmarks.
Our audits typically uncover five- to six-figure annual savings hiding in billing complexity.
Start with a one-time audit. Stay for ongoing cost control.
A one-time, deep-dive audit of your 3PL invoices and fee structure.
Continuous monitoring so overcharges never slip through again.
billsharp was founded by an e-commerce operator — not a consultant. We built and scaled the operations of a multi-eight-figure e-commerce brand from the ground up, managing fulfillment across multiple 3PL partners.
That hands-on experience means we know exactly how 3PLs bill, where the errors hide, and what levers actually reduce costs. We've sat on your side of the table.

Your 3PL invoices (typically 3–6 months), your current contract or rate card, and basic order data if available. We'll tell you exactly what we need during the discovery call. Minimal effort on your end.
Most audits are completed within 2–3 weeks from data receipt. Complex setups with multiple 3PLs or high SKU counts may take slightly longer.
Then you get peace of mind and a verified cost baseline. In our experience, we've never audited a brand and found zero issues. The question is usually not whether there are errors, but how much they add up to.
No. We don't contact your 3PL. The audit is conducted entirely on your side using your data. How you use the findings is completely up to you.
We sign an NDA before receiving any data. All information is handled confidentially and never shared with third parties.
