QuikSkope, a cutting-edge fraud protection tool, was officially launched on Tuesday, reinforcing the integrity of the supply chain for brokers, carriers, and shippers. This tool is meticulously designed to deliver real-time, load-specific verification and security measures to counteract fraud and criminal activities at the operational level.
By leveraging geofencing and photo verification capabilities, QuikSkope empowers shippers and brokers to confirm the physical presence of a driver associated with the hired carrier at the pickup location before the release of a pickup number.
In the event of fraud detection or failed verification, QuikSkope withholds the pickup number release and promptly notifies customers via email. Customers can then review the provided photo and take action by manually approving the pickup number release or contacting the carrier to address identity verification failure. Incidents involving bad actors are instantly reported and documented in real-time, with QuikSkope sharing its findings with those actively pursuing criminals and con artists.
“We’ve all experienced first-hand the devastating financial results of freight fraud and the snowball effect it can have on relationships between carriers and brokers,” said Michael Fullam, QuikSkope’s founder. “Our goal with QuikSkope was to make it as simple as possible for drivers to navigate the verification process and for brokers and shippers to respond. Clicking a text message link and uploading a quick photo encourages compliance by eliminating the need to download and employ yet another application, and ultimately secures the full chain of custody.”
While existing supply chain verification tools predominantly focus on vetting carriers before hiring to ensure accurate identities and proper operating authority, QuikSkope introduces an additional layer of security at the individual load level.
Its primary objective is not to replace the existing vetting process but to complement it, ensuring that the selected carrier and driver are indeed the ones executing the load. This approach significantly reduces the risk of double brokering, according to the company.
QuikSkope provides deployment flexibility, allowing users to implement it on a per-load basis or opt for a subscription plan. With its advanced features, QuikSkope aims to enhance the overall security and reliability of supply chain operations for all stakeholders involved.
