Cost of delay

The longer an exception goes uncaught, the more it costs you.

A $300 detention at hour 4 becomes a $3,800 write-off by day 7. Mithrilis catches it the moment it happens, with the timestamp evidence you need to bill it cleanly.

Same load. Same detention event. The only thing different is when it got caught. That's a $5,240 swing on a single shipment. Multiply by every load running through your operation every week and the math gets ugly fast.

What gets caught

The exceptions that cost you money.

Most exceptions don't announce themselves. They happen at a dock, in an inbox, on a driver's phone — and the cost lands on your P&L days later. Mithrilis catches the ones that hurt the most.

Detention spikes

Driver's been sitting at the consignee for 4 hours and counting. The clock keeps ticking and nobody on your team knows yet.

Cost if missed

$300–$2,400 in detention you didn't bill

Accessorial discrepancies

Lumper fee charged on the carrier invoice but not on the rate con you sent the customer. Or detention billed but never claimed back.

Cost if missed

Margin gone, sometimes both ways

Late deliveries

ETA slipping past the appointment window — and the customer's about to call you about it before you even know.

Cost if missed

Customer satisfaction + future load risk

Document mismatches

BOL says 24 pallets. Invoice says 22. POD signed for 23. Three sources, three numbers, no easy way to reconcile.

Cost if missed

Hours of manual chasing per disputed load

Carrier compliance lapses

Carrier's COI expired mid-shipment. Authority got revoked last week. Insurance limit dropped below your customer's requirement.

Cost if missed

Liability exposure + customer trust

Rate vs. invoice mismatch

Carrier invoice came in $200 over the rate con. Customer's accessorial got denied for the same load. Three sources, three numbers, no paper trail to settle it.

Cost if missed

Hours of reconciliation + margin lost

Anatomy of an alert

Not a notification. The whole story.

When an exception hits, the dispatcher handling it sees everything in one place — the load, the customer, the carrier, the dollar amount at risk, what's worked before on similar loads.

No tab-switching to find the rate con. No digging through email for the COI. No guessing whether the customer will pay detention. Just the facts and what to do next.

How it works

Detect. Route. Resolve.

Caught the moment it happens

Detention starts ticking. Doc goes missing. Driver's late at the dock. Mithrilis watches your operation in real time and flags the moment something's off — long before it turns into a phone call from your customer.

Routed to the right person

Each exception comes with the full context — load, carrier, customer, dollar amount at risk — and lands with the dispatcher, account manager, or accounting clerk best placed to fix it.

Tracked to resolution

Every exception, every action taken, every dollar recovered — captured in one place. When the same problem comes back six weeks later, you already know who handled it and how it went.

What you get back

Exceptions caught early aren't just resolved. They're billed.

0%

of detention claims billed and collected — instead of disputed or written off — when timestamps are documented at the moment it happens.

$0K

average annual accessorial recovery per dispatcher when missed charges (lumper, layover, redelivery) get caught and billed in real time.

<0min

average time from the moment something goes wrong to the dispatcher acting on it — versus 4-6 hours when the customer's the one telling you.
