T&L is Centurian’s first vertical. EDI X12 deterministic parsing covers the 85% of supply chain still on EDI. Rose Rocket connector ships first-class. FMCSA framework distribution covers Parts 379 / 390 / 392 / 395 / 396. T&L-specific eval libraries (5 suites, 27 cases) score load-tendering, dispatch, and invoice-audit agents. The Dana persona — VP Ops at a mid-market 3PL running 500 loads/week — recovers 2–4% of silently overcharged freight invoices in the first 30 days.
EDI X12 + Rose Rocket on day one
[ EDI_NORMALIZER ]
X12 version detect + EDIFACT + SHA-256 content hash. One canonical shape on the spine. Every 204 / 210 / 214 / 990 / 997 ingested with cryptographic provenance.
[ ROSE_ROCKET ]
First-class connector. Load tender, status, invoice, acknowledgment all routed through Centurian. Exception queue for failed handoffs. Cost attribution per load.
[ INVOICE_AUDIT_AGENT ]
Real-time 210 audit. Four checks: rate match, fuel surcharge, accessorials, balance-due. PASS / FAIL surfaces in Cost as recovered-spend. 2–4% recovery rate observed.
The FMCSA framework ships with five Centurian-authored CFR mappings: Part 379 (record retention), Part 390 (driver qualifications), Part 392 (driving rules), Part 395 (hours-of-service / ELD), Part 396 (inspection). Each rule is Ed25519-signed and runs against the trajectory store. Custom T&L frameworks authored by carrier associations layer in via the Prove marketplace.
The Dana persona
VP Ops at a mid-market 3PL. Not technical. Manages 500 loads/week. Has 6+ AI agents already in flight — vendor-deployed dispatch optimization, an invoice audit script someone wrote last year, a customer-status chatbot, a pricing tool from the TMS vendor. Centurian shows them all in one inventory, attributes cost per load, runs FMCSA + EU AI Act audits one-click, and surfaces the silent freight overcharges that pay for the platform inside the first month.
FAQ
Why is Centurian's first vertical Transportation & Logistics?
+
T&L combines high AI agent volume (load tendering, dispatch optimization, invoice audit, freight matching), structured legacy data (EDI X12 + EDIFACT, 85% of supply chain still on EDI), regulatory specificity (FMCSA, ELD mandates, hours-of-service compliance), and operator pain that converts immediately (a 2-4% silent overcharge recovery on freight invoices pays for the platform). The vertical is dense in tractable problems and has a Dana persona — VP Ops at a mid-market 3PL — who can sign without a six-month enterprise procurement cycle.
Does Centurian integrate with Rose Rocket?
+
Yes. Rose Rocket is supported as a first-class connector. The integration covers load tendering, status updates (204/214), invoice/freight bill (210), and acknowledgments (990/997). Agents using the Rose Rocket connector get cost attribution per load, EDI sequence evaluation against the 204→990→214→210→997 lattice, and exception-queue routing for failed handoffs.
What does EDI X12 agent monitoring look like?
+
Centurian's Universal EDI Normalizer detects X12 versions and EDIFACT, normalizes into one shape with SHA-256 content hashes, and writes to the bitemporal spine. EDI Sequence Evaluation watches the 204 (load tender) → 990 (response) → 214 (status) → 210 (invoice) → 997 (acknowledgment) lattice. Drift triggers anomaly clustering. Real-Time Invoice Audit Agent runs four checks (rate match, fuel surcharge, accessorials, balance-due) on every 210; pass/fail attribution flows to Cost.
Which compliance frameworks ship for T&L?
+
FMCSA framework distribution covers 5 CFR controls (Part 379 record retention, Part 390 driver qualifications, Part 392 driving rules, Part 395 hours-of-service / ELD, Part 396 inspection). The framework is Ed25519-signed and runs against the trajectory store. Plus EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, OWASP Agentic Top 10, SOC 2, and the marketplace adds custom frameworks authored by carrier-association partners.
What's the typical T&L value loop?
+
A mid-market 3PL running 500 loads/week with 6+ AI agents in Connect Proxy mode typically recovers 2-4% of freight invoices that were silently overcharged within the first 30 days. Cost attribution surfaces the recovery on every action screen. EDI Sequence Evaluation catches handoff drift before SLA breach. The Dana persona signs without a procurement cycle because the unit economics are visible inside one quarter.
