Freight fraud
A carrier that is not the carrier you booked becomes a case.
Double brokering, carrier identity theft, and fictitious pickups all start as records you already keep. OptiArms reads them, scores what it finds, and opens a case before the load moves.
What you send
Records you already keep, posted from the systems that already hold them. Nothing is installed, and nothing of yours is crawled.
- Carrier records
- From your TMS or your sourcing sheet, whenever a carrier is added or its contact details change.
- Load tenders
- The load, the carrier it went to, the lane, and the rate confirmation that followed it.
- Correspondence
- The headers and body of email that arrives about a load, forwarded to an address you control.
- Portal submissions
- What a carrier typed, from where, and how long the form was open before it was sent.
- Pickup requests
- Who asked for the pickup number, on which phone, and against which load.
What comes back
A case for a person, with the reasons beside it. Never a percentage, and never a decision this platform made on your behalf.
A case, with its reasons
One case per carrier per question, holding every signal that reached it and the evidence behind each.
A band, never a number
Possible, probable, or critical, recomputed from the signals on the record. No score is published as a percentage.
A hold you asked for
If you wire one up, a webhook asks your own system to hold the load. Your system decides what a hold means.
A record of the decision
Who looked, what they concluded, and when. Appended to a chain nobody can rewrite, including us.
The first hours
The same four steps whatever the carrier or load is. Each one is recorded, including the rules that found nothing.
01
The event lands
Your system posts it. The carrier and the load become records, and every phone, email, and domain on them joins the ledger.
02
The rules read it
Each rule that fires writes one sentence and attaches what it saw. Each rule that does not fire is recorded too.
03
The case opens
Above the floor you set, a case opens and your roster is paged on the ladder you configured.
Below it, the signals stay on the record and page nobody.
04
A person decides
Confirmed, not fraud, or inconclusive. That verdict is what your own false-positive rate is counted from.
What your compliance team asks
Answered here rather than in a call, because these are the four that decide whether a review goes any further.
Where the data comes from
Public carrier registration, plus the records you send. Anything bought about a phone number is bought for fraud prevention and audited per lookup.
What we never do
No credit decision, no consumer report, no adverse action. A hold asks your system to pause a load for a person to look at.
What a carrier is told
Nothing by us. A counterparty never receives a reason, a score, or a notice from this platform.
Who can read a case
The people you put on the roster, under your organization, scoped by the same predicate on every statement.
Start with one lane, not the network.
One source of events, in shadow, scoring carriers and loads against rules you can read before anything reaches anybody. Freight and logistics is where the first cases come from.
