Intelligent Audit, a longtime name in freight and shipping optimization, has launched a new platform called Catalyst™, aimed directly at the needs of small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs).
Catalyst™ isn’t another bloated enterprise tool with a learning curve that scares off lean teams. Instead, it focuses on what matters most to SMBs: stopping waste, recovering overcharges, and making every shipping dollar go further.
Why Catalyst™ Was Built
More than 80% of companies are spending more on shipping than they should. For SMBs—especially those operating with limited staff and thin margins—those extra costs hurt. “They often don’t know they’re leaving money on the table,” said Intelligent Audit CEO Hannah Testani.
The Catalyst™ platform was built to fix that. It automates what’s usually a time-consuming process—auditing parcel invoices—and quickly identifies where savings can be reclaimed. No spreadsheets. No guesswork. No need to replace systems already in place.
What Catalyst™ Offers
Catalyst™ is built for companies with $15M–$150M in annual revenue and parcel spend ranging from $250,000 to $3 million or more. If a business ships high volumes—especially if they’re an e-commerce brand, regional retailer, subscription box company, or manufacturer shipping directly to customers—this platform is built to fit.
The platform provides:
Refund Recovery – Automatically finds and recovers charges you shouldn’t have paid.
Shipping Analytics – Highlights smarter shipping strategies based on real performance data.
Instant Savings – Starts surfacing savings immediately, giving a real return from the first shipment.
No Setup Fees, No Disruptions
One of the more attractive features for small businesses: Catalyst™ doesn’t ask for major commitments or upfront costs. There’s no disruption to carrier relationships or technology infrastructure. Onboarding is fast, and companies can start with a free 90-day trial to measure real results before making decisions.
“We built Catalyst™ to act like an extra team member,” Testani added. “It’s always on, always scanning, always making sure your logistics spend is working harder.”
The Bigger Picture Behind Catalyst™
Intelligent Audit has been delivering freight bill and audit solutions for nearly three decades. The company is known for helping large global brands improve logistics performance, gain cost visibility, and cut unnecessary shipping costs. With Catalyst™, it’s taking those lessons and putting them in reach for smaller businesses that often get overlooked by traditional freight tools.
There’s nothing flashy here—just consistent savings and clean data that shows where money is being lost. And where it can be put back to work.
Fast Access. Real Results.
Catalyst™ is available now. SMBs can sign up directly through Intelligent Audit and take advantage of the free 90-day trial, with no strings and no obligations.
For smaller businesses tired of guessing at shipping costs—or waiting until end-of-year budgets reveal problems—Catalyst™ offers a faster, smarter alternative.

How This Fits into the SMB Shipping Landscape
Catalyst™ enters a shipping market that often treats smaller brands as afterthoughts. Enterprise-level optimization tools are too expensive or too complex. Basic label-generation software does little to highlight overspending. Catalyst™ fills a wide gap: a way for small teams to recover money and improve decisions without needing extra staff or resources.
Small and mid-sized businesses rarely get tools built with them in mind. With Catalyst™, Intelligent Audit has shifted focus—bringing transparency, automation, and real savings to companies that need them most. There’s no flashy pitch, just a chance to plug financial leaks and improve the way parcel shipping is managed. And that’s long overdue.
