OTR Solutions acquired Peruse Technology, Inc., an AI-powered document audit automation technology purpose-built for the transportation and logistics industry.
Peruse delivers what is said to be the industry’s most advanced document classification, audit, fraud detection, and data extraction capabilities, creating a new standard for how logistics data is verified, understood, and used.
“Peruse has proven to be the most effective and efficient use of AI we’ve seen over the last several years, and its automation capabilities have been a core enabler for many of OTR Solutions’ innovative and differentiated offerings,” says Clayton Griffin, president of OTR Solutions. “Customers across all of our platforms, including carrier, broker, and factor, can expect to rapidly benefit from this market-leading technology. Our rate of innovation will only increase from here.”
Key takeaways:
· Peruse is designed specifically for freight, handling complex use cases such as signature detection, multilingual handwritten text recognition, and nuanced document verification.
· Its advantage comes from a multi-layered platform combining proprietary models, freight-native training data, and domain-specific validation logic that cannot be replicated by simply applying an LLM to standard OCR workflows.
“Peruse’s capabilities have fundamentally changed how we audit, verify, and classify documents at scale, improving decision speed and strengthening trust across the platform,” says Grace Maher, COO of OTR Solutions. “We’ve lived the limitations of legacy document solutions and spent years pushing the market forward. Peruse’s technology was built in close partnership with OTR's teams from the beginning, shaped by real freight workflows and production demands. That story is real, the value is proven, and it’s enabled our human capital to focus on exceptions, judgment, and relationships.”
